Hello!

I hope you all had a lovely New Year! 

We have well and truly celebrated the new year. I don’t know how people start healthy eating and living on the 1st of January! I’m just about ready for it on the 7th!

Here is your sustainable fashion reading for the week. I was worried that there wouldn’t be as much this week as it was the first week back from the holidays. However, as sustainability in fashion becomes more mainstream, there are more and more news articles every week. 

I’ve also included some travel tips if you are longing for a break already! 

Note: you have to sign up to the websites to gain access to the bottom two links, it is free to do this.
