Living sustainably by Jo

Living sustainably by Jo I want to be able to help others by sharing hints, tips, recipes etc to help you live more sustainably.

Grow your own fruit/veg/herbs, make food from scratch, make lots of diy products, grow indoor plants... these all help us to live more sustainably

I've just been out to the veggie garden and accidentally brushed past my dying marigold plant. (This attracts the good bugs into the veggie garden to eat the bad bugs)
As I brushed the dead flowers, all the seeds fell to the ground. So I chopped the rest of the dead flowers off and am putting them into a jar to save the seeds. 1 seed produced 1 plant, which has produced a million seeds!!!
I'm also doing the same thing with my other flowers too.
If you do this, you'll never need to buy seeds again. Same goes for your fruit and veg that you grow! You're welcome.

Week 2 and we've had nits in the house already! So I made up a batch of the spray to keep them away. Prevention is better than cure!
No nasties, just a smell that the head lice don't like!

Just bought this cute little solar water fountain from the local market in Wang. Turns a regular bird bath into a water fountain! It's the little things that excite me. This should keep the water cool for the birds!

I love saving money. I also love shopping at Costco and getting so much more bang for my buck.
Don't we all need 5kg of olive oil, 1.5kg of chia seeds, cranberries and dried mango (no additives, preservatives or sulphites!) And Just Right!? 🤣
These are things we use everyday- now I just need to find the room in the cupboards!

$6 each (can make more if needed)
Stop rubbing chemicals all over your skin!

A sugar scrub creates a sandy, moisturizing mixture that buffs away dead skin for soft, smooth results. Use it in the shower by gently rubbing on damp skin and rinsing well before moisturizing.
Ingredients: white sugar, coconut oil, lemon essential oil, mica colouring
