We spend so much time in our homes, it’s worth the effort to make our them as healthy and happy environment as we can. On average, your house is 8 times more polluted than outside from things like furniture, paints, air fresheners, bedding and cleaning products.

Now, there’s no need to set to panic stations. Arguably the stress of being told EVERYTHING in life is a carcinogenic is worse for most of us. That said, there are some very practical things you can do to help. We’ve compiled our top tips in our latest blog post.

Our purpose at nookary is to make 'eco-friendly easier'. To help, we’ve collated 12 easy things you can do to be more eco-friendly; you don’t need to do them all or do them perfectly, this list is designed to inspire rather than instruct. Here’s a prompt to ignore the noise and just start making small changes today.

Emma of @adventuresofavaandjack is part of our testing tribe that we have here at nookary. It's so important to us that we only deliver the best products possible to our customers, and our testing tribe is a key part of that. They keep us honest and provide invaluable feedback.

Emma was good enough to give us a sneak peak at what makes her house a home, and what 'house proud' means to her.

Black Friday is coming up and it’s tends to polarise people, people tend to go all in for it or are dead set against it.

I LOVE giving presents at Christmas, it's my favourite part of Christmas (along with the family time, food, drinks, Christmas films, snow ...). But trying to think of the I right present can be hard, particularly if you’re trying to get more eco friendly gifts that are better for the environment. To help you find those great gifts, here's a curation of our gift collections here at nookary, all of which have the planet and its people at the core.

We know that recycling is better than single use waste, and while it is great to recycle (and we all definitely should do more of it!), it's not the full solution by far. One step further than recycling is reuse - to use something again and again.
