Anyone engaged and planning a wedding? Aren't these just the prettiest thing ever and of course 100% biodegradable unlike normal confetti 💚

Instead of polluting the planet with confetti, hole punch leaves instead! Fully biodegradable, and so cute!!

Road testing my new lunchbox samples. This is the 500ml 'Snacker'.

Turns out it's perfect for taking cereal into work!

Got so many comments and have pre-orders from NHS colleagues already 🤣

Let me know what you think in the comments 👍 what would you use it for?

Hold the phones! The new lunchbox samples have arrived from India 🇮🇳 today.

I am so in love with the 'mini' 500ml box, the 'snacker' 750ml and the 'luncher' 1200ml.

The removable dividers are a neat feature if you want to separate your foods and of course add one of our leakproof snack pots for sauces, dips or soft fruit like raspberries and you're good to go!

I had planned to choose between them but think I am going to have to order all 3 for my product range as I can't possibly choose a favourite.

A wonderful addition to your zero-waste, food on-the-go set up.

Ideal for cold leftovers, salads, fruit, snacks and even picking up your favourite takeaway!

They are based on the traditional Indian tiffin after all 😉






 

Grow food not lawns 🌿💚

it doesn't have to be perfect :)

The old year has died but within the decay there are signs of new life growing. 🌿 The first bright green shoots of the spring bulbs are poking through the soil. 🌷

Hazel catkins glow in the welcome sunlight and everywhere there is the feeling that life is stirring. Seen from a distance, some of the native trees have taken on a coloured hue, caused by the gentle swelling of their buds, faint at first, but increasing as the increase in the day’s length begins to influence the plants.

There is a sense of rebirth in the air, of new beginnings waiting for their right time to come.

With this Earth-awakening comes new opportunities to make simple but life changing shifts in our lifestyles and thinking patterns.

Living more sustainably and with greater awareness of the Earth is something we can no longer ignore.

The time for dreaming is over. The time for action begins.

We do nothing in isolation – each and every small change we make as individuals adds to the greater whole. 💚

Well I never. Mine go from rock hard for about a week to black and rotten in 5 minutes just before I'm about to use them 🤭.

This is definitely worth trying.

"Did y’all already know this?? Avocados stay good for-freaking-ever if you put them in water in the fridge. These have been in here for two whole dang weeks while the control group on the countertop rotted. They’re perfect. I’m speechless. "

Lovely testimonial about stainless steel lunchboxes 💚. I met Natasha and Arthur about 5 years ago where our little boys were about 1 year old back in NZ and was so inspired by his lunchbox at playgroup, I went on to start my own business. Thanks for the inspiration Arthur 🙏

I literally can't get enough of these misty, frosty mornings. It's breathtakingly beautiful and the birds are singing away - taking a few minutes to appreciate the day 💚🙏

Super excited to announce that my Facebook shop is officially open for business.

So now you can buy zero waste lunchboxes and food storage pots direct from me rather than making Jeff Besnoz at Amazon even richer than he already is!

I also have a nifty little website should you like to take a look it's www.earthcaretakerscollective.com and you can purchase products directly from there too.

Thanks for your support. It means the world to me 💚

My aim this year is to spend much more time exploring the outdoors with my little ones

So often this really is the case! Here's to more time outside 🥰

How pretty are these?

You could easily make using homemade salt dough and any pressed flowers or plants your little ones collect. If you punch a hold through with a straw or other thick round object you can make a beautiful hanging ornament 💚

A good reminder 😌

Some tips:

I know this to be 100% true.

I have been sitting here working on my laptop this morning with the patio door open, sunlight and birdsong streaming in.
It has been the most relaxed and productive morning and I am truly energised and in the flow.

I wish you a beautiful and creative Friday also.
💚

Spending time where you love, with the people you love. Priceless. 💚

You can't pour from an empty cup

I noticed recently that I am feeling quite anxious, frazzled and irritable. I am so grateful to be able to notice this early due to being more conscious and mindful of my mindset and body in general and to be able to take some time away to recharge and leave my boys with their Daddy.

As a busy Mama of 2 busy little boys and actively building 2 online business there is not much time in the day for anything else!

I have made a conscious decision to look up some local yoga classes and am absolutely overjoyed to have found such a magical location and genuinely friendly tribe of human beings ❤

It's in the loft cosy loft room of a converted historic quay building so am enjoying a coffee and wander amongst the boats before I head home to the chaos!

What do you do to fill your cup? ❤

It's Poppy season. The wildflowers look so pretty along the roadside. So fragile, like butterfly wings.

Picked for me by my little munchkin 💕

I am extremely proud to announce the launch of my eco-friendly, zero waste leakproof stainless steel lunch boxes and snack pots on Amazon.

Designed by me. Made ethically in India.

It's been about a year and a half in the making, I started researching products when I was 6 months pregnant as I knew I wanted to have my own online business where I could work from home or live overseas.

I developed this bento style lunchbox because as a trained Dietitian and mother of a fussy eater I needed to come up with novel ways to encourage eating a variety of nutritious foods. It worked wonders!

was started because I am passionate about reducing waste and single-use plastics to protect our beautiful planet.

Coming from New Zealand, I grew up by the sea and feel a strong connection to the ocean. The snack pots have been designed with an ocean theme - the colours represent shades of the sea and the embossed lid design resembles a sea urchin or ‘kina’ as it is known in native Maori language.

My goal is to make healthy lunches simpler for parents, yummier for kids and better for the planet! A brilliant earth friendly gift which arrives in plastic-free packaging.

I am proud to donate to the Smile Train charity which supports cleft care for 1.5+ million children worldwide and will continue to do so until every child in need with a cleft has access to the care they deserve “How we change the world one smile at a time”.

If you are interested to purchase the lunch box or snack pots, please visit Amazon and search for 'Earth Caretakers Collective'.
