3 Good Subscriptions to Try

Most of us would love to do something to positively affect the future and be a bit more environmentally friendly.

Why not try a subscription option from companies that do exactly that. You can enjoy trying out new things whilst somebody else takes care of everything for you while you save some money and help the environment in some kind of way.

It’s also usually an independent start-up, a business with a great innovative idea and involves people that really want to do something good for the world. So why not try their product out and see how it goes?

I personally have been using these three subscriptions/apps below and they are absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend them highly enough. One is a referral so if you do try, I will get a little reward(a discount off my next order).

Environmentally friendly. Saves you money. Sounds like your cup of tea?

Oddbox

As they describe themselves on LinkedIn: “Eat good. Do good. Stay odd. Rescuing the “too-wonky” and “too-many”, direct from farmers. ” The idea is that your weekly or bi-weekly subscription will be delivered full of veggies and/or fruits, that otherwise would be thrown away because they don’t meet supermarket standards or were too many. Click below for my referral link to activate your discount!

Too Good To Go

Not a subscription but still a great app to try out. From their website: “Too Good To Go is a community of Waste Warriors fighting food waste together. As a user, save meals from stores and food professionals around you.” “Too Good To Go is the app that lets you rescue unsold food at your favorite spots from an untimely fate.” I myself have saved 28 bags so far, that amounts to approx 70kg CO2 saved, as well as £217!

TheVeganKind

From their website: “Whether you are newly vegan, or long term, our vegan boxes are designed to add a bit of flare to your month! We scour the land looking for exciting new products, and ship them all to you in a carefully packaged box once a month. You never know what you will get! – but you can rely on Team TVK to craft vegan boxes that are 100% cruelty free, exciting, and exceptional value for money.”

I have been subscribing to the box since around 2016! Love discovering new things. It’s also great that you can pause your subscription for up to 3 months, if you need a little break or if you are travelling.

Use code “VEGAN” and get £5 off. No catch! (offer available at he time of this blog post going live)

Hope you try, and if you do – enjoy!

Travel Hack – Comfort Accessories

Happy New Year, everyone!
If there’s one thing I wish for you this year is to travel more, to travel better and more comfortably. So I thought I’m going to share with you one of my favourite travel hack I can’t imagine travelling without. Inflatable travel accessories.

I wanted to see about upgrading my inflatable travel pillow since I plan to spend a lot of time on the go this year. When I bought mine, it was one of a very few available options. Now, you can choose from so many and at very affordable prices. Perhaps you fancy upgrading yours to a better one too?

Have you heard of inflatable travel accessories before? I am yet to see people using them and often get curious looks when I take mine out.

This is the one I’ve been using and can highly recommend:

Since I compiled a list, I thought why not share it with you and perhaps help you with your future travels too! These are especially handy for longer trips when you are sure to have a nap or want to get as much sleep as possible to arrive at your destination fresh. Not just for red-eye flights, it’s great for road trips, train travel, camping and any other situation where a bit of convenience can make a world of difference. Especially if you’re travelling on a budget.

Some of these pillows look really interesting as an option for a comfortable sleep. Let me know what you think about them if you try any of them out. I wonder if should I get one of these for myself?

Some of the pillows are similar to mine. I highly recommend one of these instead of foam neck pillows because it just makes so much sense. It takes little space to store in your bag and you can quickly inflate it once you settle in your seat. Most of them also have the option to remove the cover, wash it and use it again. It is more hygienic and can help protect your skin from getting spots during travel.

There are also a few beautiful options. I would choose comfort over aesthetics in the case of travel, even though it doesn’t hurt when the item can win at both! However, if aesthetics are more important to you – that’s okay, especially for shorter trips. My favourite I this one:

While I was looking into inflatable neck pillows, I noticed some of these inflatable footstools. Wow, what an idea, especially for long-haul trips. Take a look at these, they can be a great option to add to your carry-on bag to ensure that your trip is more comfortable. I’ve never seen anyone using one of these or have heard of it before this research, perhaps I should try. What do you think?

If you have kids, or if you know a family that loves to travel and has kids, and you’re looking for a creative gift idea, I think one of these would be a winning pick.

You know how sometimes you expected just to go on a shopping website and get something you are already using? But once you start, you go into a deep dive research of all the options out there. I shared some of the findings with you here. I hope at least one will be useful for you and you will give it a shot.

If you get one of the upgraded versions, please do let me know how that works for you!

If you have any travel hacks that you love using, why not share them? Please comment below or send a message by the contact page. I would love to hear and discover something new to try out!

All the best,

‘The muse is not an angelic voice that sits on your shoulder and sings sweetly. The muse is the most annoying whine. The muse isn’t hard to find, just hard to like – she follows you everywhere, tapping you on the shoulder, demanding that you stop doing whatever else you might be doing and pay attention to her.’ Harlan Coben
