KITCHEN REVAMP
You’ve invested in your ethical
apron and you’ve bought all
of your ingredients to make
a springtime cake, but if you’re
looking for a few baking
investment pieces, head to
Sainsbury’s for the new Drury
Lane collection, complete
with these wooden chopping
boards, egg holders and
ceramic bowls.
WORDS: HOLLY TREACY
STRAW DEAL
Most of us are already saying
‘no’ to plastic straws when we’re
out and about, but what about
at home? As the chill of winter
starts to dissipate, some of us are
probably planning our summer
barbies by now! And, these
rainbow stainless steel straws
(£7.50, natureandmy.com) are
perfect for any SS19 gatherings
you have booked in the diary.
COVER UP
As we fling open the windows to let spring in, now’s the time
to make the most of experimenting with all those baking recipes
you’ve been saving for the turn of the season. Think quiches and
tarts with green, crisp salads, followed by mugs of tea and freshly
baked cakes – we’re salivating at the thought! But, we’re all for
keeping your clothing protected as you whip up a storm in the
kitchen, and this 100% organic cotton apron (£18, asliceofgreen.
co.uk) is perfect for weekends spent cooking.

COCO BRUSH
If you’ve been inspired
by our low-tox cleaning
feature on page 100, we
predict you’ll be digging
out your scrubbing
brushes quicker than we
can say ‘spring clean’.
But, before you get
started, why not invest in
a coconut fibre kitchen
dish brush, like this one
from asliceofgreen.
co.uk (£5)? It’s free
from toxic chemicals,
and is recyclable and
biodegradable, plus
it’s non-scratch, so it’s
perfectly safe on your
pots, pans and plates.
