  • Yesterday was my last day out volunteering before we move. At some point, I intend to write about how many unexpected benefits I gained from volunteering, for now I will just say that if you can spare some time to volunteer with a group that looks after spaces near you, do it. Save the planet and your mental health. . We spent the day clearing back an overgrown path at Ochil Woodland Park, eating sticky toffee pudding, and hunting for butterflies. . . #TheConservationVolunteers #TheConservationVolunteersScotland #Clackmannanshire #DiscoverClacks #DiscoverClackmannanshire #InstaScotland #OchilWoodlandPark #Ochils #ForestLover #FolkGreen #LightroomMobile #OchilHills #ThisIsScotland #WoodlandWalks #BBCScotlandPics #ScotlandMagazine #Conservation #ForestPath #ForestLife #WalkInTheWoods #Divine_Forest #Enchanting_Forest #Splendid_Woodland #Stirling #ThisDelightfulLife #Iphoneography #BestForestMood #Worldwide_Tree #Pocket_Trees #ScotSpirit via @preview.app
  • Oh, Edinburgh, I’m really going to miss you. We’re fully in packing mode now, and I’m sad that soon we won’t get to wander around this city whenever we fancy. . We were walking through a packed Princes St Gardens when I spied the way the trees framed the old town. . . #Edinburgh #ThisIsEdinburgh #ScotSpirit #BBCScotlandPics #IGersEdinburgh #EdinburghLife #EdinburghSnapshots #ScottishScenery #ThisDelightfulLife #DiscoverEdinburgh #ScotlandMagazine #PrincesStreet #PrincesStreetGarden #Weekly_Feature #BeautifulDestinations #ILoveScotland #UnlimitedScotland #IphoneOnly #ScotShots #ScotlandMagazine #BBCScotlandPics #InstaScotland #ScotlandLover #SimplyScotland #ScotlandsBeauty #ThisIsScotland #ipreview via @preview.app #EdinburghOldTown
  • The lavender bush in our garden is currently a bee party. It’s been so nice to watch more and more bees come to visit it over the past few weeks. There’s been at least 10 bees hovering around it everytime we’ve looked today. Plant some lavender folks; smells beautiful and bees love it. . . #Bees #SaveTheBees #SaveOurBees #BBCEarth #BBCScotlandPics #Lavender #LavenderLove #UKWildlife #ScottishWildlife #Pollinators #PollinatorGarden #BeesOfInstagram #ILoveBees #UKWildlifeImages #BritishNature #EarthCapture #TakenOnIphone #Iphoneonly #PhotoJoJo #MomentsOfJoy #PhotoJojoMacro #Macro_Captures #MacroWildlife #IphoneMacro #InsectPhotography #InsectsWorld #InsectLife #Nature_Shots #ipreview via @preview.app
  • Sad fact about me: I love forest boardwalks. The contrast of the wood against the green of the grass and trees, and the leading lines, is so aesthetically pleasing. And yesterday, I got to help build one; it was so fun. It’s not quite finished yet, but how majestic is it? . If you’re in Stirling or Clacks and fancy a nice walk, you can spot this on the River Devon way. . #RiverDevon #RiverDevonWay #Clackmannanshire #DiscoverClacks #DiscoverClackmannanshire #ScotSpirit #BBCScotlandPics #WalkHighlands #ThisIsScotland #ScotlandIsNow #TakenOnIphone #DiscoverScotland #WoodlandWalk #ForestWalks #Boardwalks #RoamThePlanet #BeautifulBritain #ScotlandMagazine #IG_Scotland #ScotlandsBeauty #ScotlandShots #ScotsMagazine #HikeScotland #ForestLover #ipreview via @preview.app #Dollar
  • Happy Cake Day to my lobster and adventure buddy, @dazlarr66. Looking forward to seeing what adventures we get up to when we move. Please finish work early tonight, or I might have eaten all your cake. . . #AdventureBuddy #AdventureTogether #IsleOfSkye #GlenBrittle #GlenBrittleBay #GlenBrittleBeach #AdventureMore #ScotSpirit #ScottishBeaches #AdventureBuddies #CouplesWhoHike #AdventureIsOutThere #ScottishIslands #ScottishHighlands #AdventureAwaits #AdventurePartner #LivingOurBestLives #Ektar100 #MadeWithKodak #StayBrokeShootFilm #ipreview via @preview.app
  • North Berwick was absolutely beautiful yesterday. I’d only been to North Berwick briefly before, so it was nice to spend the day wandering up and down the beach, eating blood orange sorbet, and repeatedly applying sunscreen. . . #NorthBerwick #ScottishCoast #ScottishTowns #BeautifulScotland #EastLothian #GoEastLothian #LoveScotland #InstaScotland #ScotSpirit #UKPOTD #GloriousBritain #BBCScotlandPics #UnlimitedScotland #ScottishBeaches #SummerInScotland #SunnyScotland #ScottishSummer #TakenInScotland #ScotlandMagazine #TheScottishCollective #ScotExplore #BonnieScotland #ILoveScotland #ScotShots #ThisIsScotland #ipreview via @preview.app

  • 🍊 ORANGE ME UP! // Whenever I dye my hair myself, Manic Panic is my go-to. It’s non-toxic, doesn’t smell bad, is moisturising, gives amazing colour (even on unbleached hair - can’t be bothered with that), and fades evenly and nicely. I tend to use Psychedelic Sunset on it’s own but when the shop runs out I mix it with Electric Tiger Lily and it gives a more reddy-orange on my fur. . The packaging IS plastic, however the pots are a good size so I plan to sterilise them and re-use them for keeping baking powder, etc. That said, I wouldn’t be mad if they offered metal tubes of dye. . . #ManicPanic #PsychedelicSunset #ElectricTigerLily #OrangeHair #ManicPanicNYC #LowWasteHair #LowWasteLiving #GreenBeauty #GreenHairCare #NonToxicHairColor #NonToxicHairCare #OrangeHairDye #NonToxicBeauty #ToxinFreeLiving
  • 📚WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING? // After a long and busy weekend at work, it’s been nice to get some chores done and sit down and read. The Priory of the Orange Tree has been on my TBR since I heard about it earlier this year. It involves Dragons, so how could I say no? What are you reading right now? . . #ThePrioryOfTheOrangeTree #CurrentlyReading #FantasyBooks #Bookstagram #BookDragon #BookishLove #EpicFantasy #ReaderLife #ILikeBigBooksAndICannotLie #CurrentlyReading #Bibliophile #Bookstagrammer #BookLife #WhatIRead #InstaReading #IdRatherBeReading #BookLoversUnite #Bookalicious #BookishPosts #BookishGirl #ReadMore #HumansOfBookstagram
  • ♻️ONE IN, ONE OUT // I love it when you find a company that makes it easy for you to avoid plastic. @lyonsleaf give you the option to buy their facial oils without the pump so you can stick your existing one in the new bottle. . . What companies have you found that make it easy for you to be zero or low waste? . . #LowWaste #GoingZeroWaste #Lyonsleaf #VeganSkincare #ToxinFreeLiving #LyonsleafFacialOil #MinimalLiving #Minimalism #CrueltyFreeSkincare #GreenBeauty #NaturalSkincareProducts #InstaSkincare #ReduceReuseRecycle #ConsciousConsumer #FacialOil #MarshmallowRoot #GreenBeautyProducts
  • ✅Switching from beauty & personal hygiene products in plastic bottles to solid soap/shampoo bars is such an easy way to reduce the amount of plastic you recycle or throw away. . ♻️Not only that, but you can support some fantastic, independent businesses at the same time. . ♻️And, it makes travelling easier. No worrying about a shampoo explosion, or having to decant and squeeze liquids into those teeny bags in your hand luggage 👍. . 🧼I’m trying out three soaps by @primalsuds; their Head Case fenugeek solid shampoo; Boscanova coffee scrub bar, and temper soap. They all smell delicious, and I’ll let you know how I get on with them. . . #PrimalSuds #GreenLiving #ShampooBar #SoapBar #PlasticFree #SustainableLiving #PlasticFreeBathroom #PlasticFreeHaircare #NaturalSoaps #LowImpact #ZeroWasteBathroom #ZeroWasteCollective #WasteLess #ReduceWaste #EcoLiving #ZeroWasteJourney #DitchPlastic #unumfam #GoingZeroWaste
  • 🥞 Pancakes are one of my favourite things to eat but I SUCK at making them. I know, I know, they’re supposed to be pretty easy to make but I struggle. That is, until I found this banana pancake recipe from @lovingitvegan this morning. No gummy pancakes! Woop. . . Last week, we had some banana pancakes from @foodstoryscotland - mine were covered in peanut butter, cocoa nibs, banana, maple syrup and yoghurt. I recreated it as best I could with what I’d got and they were easily the best pancakes I’ve ever made. . . #VeganPancakes #WhatVegansEat #BananaPancakes #VeganBreakfast #VeganBrunch #LetsCookVegan #VeganBananaPancakes #PlantBasedPower #PlantPowered #PancakeStack #PancakeLover #BreakfastLover #BreakfastTime #SweetBreakfast
  • Do you make your own skincare products? . . Today, I made a sugar scrub from @natashalhn (search “cinnamon latte sugar scrub The Artisan Life” And you should find it) and it’s so good. It was really easy to make and so effective - I like quite a scrubby scrub. It contains shea butter, avocado oil, sugar (of course), cinnamon, and cornflour. . This isn’t any kind of ad, but I like to get shea butter and oils (essential and carrier) from @akomaskincare because they’re an ethical company. They support a number of co-operatives (which is fantastic), and offer organic, soil association approved, vegan options. . . #DIYSkincare #CleanSkincare #GreenBeauty #SugarScrub #BodyScrub #VeganSkincare #NaturalSkincare #OrganicSkincare #CrueltyFreeSkincare #SustainableLiving #EthicalLiving #SheaButter #AkomaSkincare #AllNaturalSkincare #ThisDelightfulLife
