Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions I often encounter from people interested in finding out more about my business and the products I sell.
If you want to find out more, you can book a free discovery call with me, and I can help you start your journey to becoming more eco-friendly and having an impact on the world around us.
Where did your passion for sustainability come from?
My granddaughter! As soon as I became a grandma, I knew that I wanted to be able to give her a healthier, safer, cleaner environment to grow up in.
What actually is ECO?
When your lifestyle incorporates environmentally friendly living and the use of environmentally friendly products.
Do I have to change everything all at once?
Definitely not. In fact, you are more likely to fail if you do. Just pick one thing, one area at a time, and start with that. This would cost you a lot of money and waste the products that you have already bought to use.
Are the products you sell your own that you make?
I don’t personally make any of the products but I am helping to support others who do. Some of the products are Fair Trade and are made by families for whom this is their livelihood. Other products are made by small independent businesses.
Why are all your products vegan?
I didn’t start out for it to be this way but as my products are vegan I am not excluding anybody from using them.
Do you offer advice or products or both?
I provide advice through my consultancy, The Eco Edit. The Eco Edit is the simplest way I can think of to help you switch from current products that you are using around your home to more environmentally friendly ones. All you need to do is provide me with photographs of any cleaning product you use for you or your home, it’s as easy as that. It is designed to help anyone who is feeling confused with what they are using or feel they should be using within their homes.
Are your products MLM or do you source them yourselves
No I am an independent business trying to make it easier for you to be a little bit more eco-friendly.
Are you affiliated with any products?
No I want to be neutral with all the information I provide. I do not want anybody to think I am swayed by being affiliated with the product.
Do you do eco audits of products
Yes I do. This is through my Eco Edit consultancy.

Who do you work with?
I work with Eco communities across the world to bring you products that are eco-friendly, recycled, vegan and environmentally conscious.
Do you have an online shop? What and where can I buy
This is the link to my online shop.
I sell eco-friendly and ethical gifts. But if you need some info, have a question or want to know about upcoming stock, then please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Where are you based?
I’m based in Southampton. I travel locally for events and hold meetings online, meaning I can connect with anyone in the world for a conversation. My website is available to anyone, so you do not have to be local to receive any of my products or gain support through my consultancy packages.
Do you offer eco-friendly services or just products?
I offer a range of both. My website is packed with wonderful Eco gifts to purchase for yourself or others. I also offer the Eco Edit, where I take a deep dive into products you use around your home and offer you Eco-alternatives.
About the Products
How long do the hydroponic herb kits last for?
You have enough in the kit to last for at least 2 years, but you can buy replenishments after that time.
What is so special about bamboo socks?
They are naturally antibacterial, so they help regulate your foot temperature so you do not get hot, sweaty, smelly feet! The bamboo socks I sell are 80% bamboo, so they are among the highest-content bamboo socks on the market. This makes them incredibly soft even after washing.
What are your beach towels made from?
They are made from 100% post-consumer plastic.
How heavy are your towels?
They weigh in at less than 100grams so they are perfect if you are travelling or going on holiday.
What makes your candles vegan?
They are made from soy wax and not beeswax. They also do not contain any nasty chemicals.
Where do the SARI journals originate from?
They are made by a group of Fair Trade ladies in India. What also makes these journals extra special is that they do not have paper pages; they have cotton pages.
What are your cutlery sets made from?
Wenge. Don’t panic. Wenge is an endangered tree species. These originate in Vietnam, where the government closely monitors the use of the remaining wenge trees. Trees are used by traditional furniture makers to keep their tradition alive. They were burning the offcuts. They now use these offcuts to make the cutlery sets.
What is the difference between these cutlery sets and the normal bamboo ones?
A lot of people don’t like bamboo in their mouths. It can feel very tacky. Wenge is a hardwood so you do not get the same sensation when using this cutlery.
