In praise of outdoor swimming
There is nothing quite like the feeling of slipping into cooling water on a hot sticky day and it's so good to see that the range of places to enjoy a refreshing outdoor dip are expanding every year. Refurbished lidos, wild swimming ponds and the recently opened Sea Lanes in London are all responding to the surge in demand for clean, accessible place to swim
Solpardus swimwear
Our creative lead, Sara, a keen wild swimmer and sauna enthusiast, has been searching for better, skin-friendly swimwear. She absolutely loves Solpardus, a natural UK-made swimwear brand.
Made from a natural mix of 95% bamboo and 5% elastane, Solpardus is super soft and gentle against sensitive skin.
Eat
We are always looking to make our lives a little bit easier and our lunches more veg-packed. We love using Pack'd frozen organic fruit and vegetables. Ready-chopped and packed in paper pouches, they offer easy freezer storage, hassle-free recycling and zero waste
For the easiest mango ice cream -
Blend half a pack of Pack'd frozen mango with 2 tablespoons of kefir and 2 tablespoons of Greek yoghurt (or all yoghurt/ all kefir) whizz until smooth in an electric blender or nutribullet - enjoy!

Designed to prevent overheating and featuring a temperature-regulating wool-filling, our natural summer duvets are just what you need for a restful night when the temperature rises. Choosing lighter, nutrient-dense meals in the evening, keeping a window cracked for fresh airflow, and dressing your bed in crisp, breathable linen are all key to waking up refreshed during these warmer nights.
