This week we're bringing a little peace and strategy to all the headlines about food costs rising! We're looking at exactly what's predicted and the top ways we're strategising to stay on budget, even as costs rise!
I know those kinds of headlines (and the unknown) can bring anxiety - and just budget difficulty - so hopefully this gives you some ideas that make you feel more powerful and in control as numbers change! x
This is a video I have wanted to make for the longest time because we show these recipes every time we show what we ate in a week!
This is the easy bread recipe that makes pretty much every bread product we eat from pizza to sandwich bread, two flatbreads, two chocolate breakfast rolls burger buns, hotdog rolls all the things! And it’s a really simple flexible and forgiving one to make.
I think baking your own bread is such a great way to start being more budget friendly in the kitchen because it saves money but it also brings so much joy without spending a lot of money!

Today's episode goes live as 12 noon GMT / 8am EST and I'm taking a deep dive into why I've had to say a costly "no" to all the invisible, behind the scenes AI in content creation.
It shocks me how much AI is being used without any conversation or regulation of the adverse affects of it and therefore, the environmental toll of our social media feeds... so we're diving in!
This is a ZERO judgement episode - I find a huge number of people have no idea the ways AI is used and the impact, and my goal isn't to say what's right or wrong for anyone other than me. And to let you into why this is the only moral choice I can make. My goal is just to shine a light on this evolving world and the role it plays in content creation, and the environment!
A few moments from my birthday and transparent thoughts from turning 39 and heading towards 40. THANK YOU everyone for your birthday wishes and kind words. 🫶🏼
It's been a drama full week in the garden, and it's officially the start of growing season here in West Sussex! I filmed a vlog that involves me swimming in the "lake" in the dark, a deer rescue, and a tour around our neglected Winter garden! But we're talking about the plans for the year, and my non "homestead aesthetic" approach to managing this space.
**This is a re-upload from this morning. The sound and music got way off in editing so I deleted it and wanted all the music and voiceovers in the right place. Sorry to the few hundred people that got clashing voiceovers before I realised!!
If you're one of the people who asked for more vlog style videos after Vlogmas... there's a new one going up at 12pm (7am EST) today. A day of budget friendly and sustainable routines (and ducks, and so much flooding and what we ate in a day) that keep us on our new student budget while being a little bit more sustainable. Hope you enjoy it!
I can’t believe that we’re starting 2026 with eleven thousand friends here along for the ride! I’m so deeply honoured (and a bit humbled!) that our life is helpful and enjoyable to watch - but I love getting to share it with you all here and hopefully help make small changes feel more possible and worth it! ❤️ We’ve made it home from Austin and I posted a vlog of the journey and some thoughts as we settle back into home life.
I loved this outfit so much! 🪩 I’m not remotely extra in every day life so I wanted to lean in! And it was a 100% charity shop outfit down to my bra which made me SO happy. . Such a big part of loving something, and style for me, is the story behind it. I can’t love an outfit just cos of how it looks, if its story might involve forced labour, polluting another woman’s water, or stealing designs from a small business. I can’t feel stylish in something l’ve shown consumer demand for, that will sit in landfill forever, hurting communities around it. . And honestly party wear is one of the worst for the environment- so many little bits of plastic, sequins, glitter, polyester.
. So how can we do it well? For me: charity shops. Taking what’s already in circulation. Not showing and creating a demand for new items, not asking for more plastic - but using what’s already there and passing it on well. That’s what makes me feel amazing in clothes, that’s style to me.
Also, I need a bit more extra in my every day. Right?! 🪩
Some thoughts floating in my mind lately after a decade of trying to bring little bits of change online! ❤️
The internet likes polarisation, sides, black and white, quick one liners with no nuance… the algorithm thrives, but I think it’s pushing us apart. I wonder if, to bring needed change in so many areas, we need to grow our ability to hold and communicate two truths at once. It’s not always comfortable, it can feel like we’re conceding precious ground on something we care about, it can maybe make our case appear less strong in a world of absolutes and extremes, we can worry it won’t compel people to listen or change as much… but, I think we need more conversations and holding two things as true, together.
What two truths do you think need holding together?
We don’t always have to simplify it, sometimes we need to embrace the complexity of holding two truths and seeing where that goes. So I’m really asking myself where I need to do this and this is my encouragement to ask yourself too where you might need to. ❤️
This was a fun text from my husband during a wedding at the weekend 🤪 We now have bees under our floor.
I’ve been scouring FB marketplace for hives and found one this morning one minute after it went up. It’s a hot market apparently. 😂 So we’re off to get it.
