    Small Space Living

    Given the population ever-increasing on our small island here in the UK (and the planet, don’t get me started…), I am always interested in how we can take up less space. And, I confess, I’ve always been a tad obsessed with clever furniture and how people design their small spaces into homes. P and I…

  • Choose Non Toxic Air Fryers

    Choose Non Toxic Air Fryers

    Air fryers are all the rage, aren’t they, not least because they save us the cost of putting the big oven on for smaller meals? They can also cook much faster (partly because they are smaller and take less time to warm up) and we tend to use less fat to cook with. Some of…

  • Is our sensitivity a brain issue?

    Is our sensitivity a brain issue?

    Quick Summary: when we are highly-sensitive, especially if we have multiple sensitivity (food, chemicals, smells etc), overwhelm, mental and physical fatigue, a need to shut down a lot, maybe we should consider that brain processes and neuroinflammation, like a loss of brain-gating or neurons too close to threshold could be contributing ie. our sensitivity levels…

  • Add a little candlelight

    Add a little candlelight

    I’m seeing a lot of recommendations for Autumn/Fall candles at the moment. It’s just a shame most of them would set us off with paraffin wicks and bases, and synthetic fragrance oils that, frankly, make me feel queasy. You can buy non-toxic candles, of course, but it is much easier and cheaper to make your…

  • Are you a house husher?

    Are you a house husher?

    Do we underestimate how much our environment and surroundings affect our health and mood? Which makes you feel calmer? This… or this….? Both are lovely, but one makes me feel more relaxed than the other. The top ones. The others are just too busy for me, but you may love them! It’s all subjective, but…

  • And so to sleep

    And so to sleep

    What better subject to start my new Hushed blog with than sleep? And headboards to be exact. If you’ve ever bought a new headboard, you will probably have found that it stinks of chemicals. The last time I bought one, I had to put it in the communal hall of our apartments to let it…

  • Non toxic, pure skincare

    Non toxic, pure skincare

    Much of the toxins we ingest come through what we put on our skin! Many of the so-called ‘natural’ skincare ranges are anything but, sadly. I recently came across a new skincare range (to me, anyway) that is simply beautiful, so thought I would share. Hushed is all about living a nourishing life, after all,…
