Sometimes we need a bit of inspiration from real people around us to spark the motivation to take action and change the deeply rooted habits that we know we should. Sustainability is a wide topic and conscious living takes time and effort to implement.
But, it definitely can be fun and feel great! Perhaps just with a little help from people who have been there and done it.
This is why we love to champion bloggers, authors and creators who are all just real people living in the UK, making those changes, testing and trialling things, and sharing the best tips and guides on what worked, inspired them, helped the new habits stick and so on.
Here's a selection of sustainable lifestyle blogs in the UK that we found inspired us. Hope it helps you too!
Curiously Conscious
Curiously Conscious is a beautifully designed site covering sustainable fashion, clean beauty, low-impact lifestyle and more. Besma founded the blog in 2014 after she discovered the French way of life when living in Paris, and started incorporating it into her routine - such as buying food from the organic market nearby and avoiding fast-changing fashion trends - something she writes about a lot on her site.
Besma describes Curiously Conscious as her journal "where I document kinder ways to live and dress. I like to cover sustainable fashion, cruelty-free beauty, low-impact living, and more". More about her journey here.
On Curiously Conscious site you’ll find unique blogs from ‘How to shop sustainably on Black Friday’ to blogs on greenwashing within the fashion industry and sustainable travel recommendations.
