Hello. Welcome to my brand new blog.
I previously blogged at Round in Spirals, but, well, I just wasn't feeling it anymore. I didn't like the name so much after a while, and I felt that the whole thing lacked direction and focus.
So after a long summer break, I'm back with my shiny new blog, Eco on the Quiet. The 'Eco' part should be fairly self-explanatory - I want to live as sustainably, ethically and compassionately as I can whilst I'm here on our one and only planet.
The 'on the Quiet' element means that it's a process, one step at a time, one day at a time. It isn't a matter of making dramatic over-night changes to my lifestyle. This is because, in my experience, the things that stick are the ones that I've taken time to research and implement gradually. More often, it's a case of forming new habits - like always taking a reusable shopping bag with me when I walk out of the house.
I'm also 'on the Quiet' on social media because I really feel a need to strike a balance between screen time and real life. I am not on Twitter, Pinterest, etc, because I just don't want to commit the time right now. I do love Youtube, but I feel no compulsion to turn the camera on myself at this moment in time! For that reason, I keep it simple - I only have my blog and my Instagram feed, as these are the platforms I enjoy most.
So what is the blog about?
All I want to say for now is, all things eco. I want the blog to develop it's own path, so I'm not going to give a list of categories or topics, just in case I end up going in an unexpected direction.
I'm just going to wait and let the blog take shape. Of course, if you want some sort of idea of what I've blogged about previously, please feel free to have a browse through Round in Spirals.
Thank you for reading, and I'll see you very soon,
