  • "The renovating process took around two months – Harriet and Fraser were both working at the time, but living on site helped maintain the momentum. Once the house was complete, the interior decoration happened organically, with most of the items found secondhand and the pair employing a minimalist approach: “The only thing that was bought new for the house was the bean bags,” says Harriet. “The beauty of a small house, aside from less to clean, is also having fewer belongings. With ornaments and objects, each almost has to have a second purpose or it has to go. For example, an old trunk of my grandfather’s doubles as storage and the stools around the kitchen table are useful as coffee tables. The few objects we do keep have been collected by us over the years. Each holds sentimental value and I think that is what makes a house a home.” "⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Creative couple Harriet Birrell and Fraser West - from @natural_harry - have built a lot of things together – including their delightful tiny house made from reclaimed materials.

  • "Zero waste is having a moment right now, and we can all agree that is a Very Good Thing indeed. With our oceans overwhelmed with plastic, a national recycling crisis in progress and turtles with straws stuck up their noses, this movement to reduce our waste couldn’t have come at a better time. Well, perhaps thirty years ago – but who’s counting? Nowadays, everyone seems to be toting their reusable bags, sipping on stainless steel straws and perfecting Instagram snaps of their reusable coffee cups. The groundswell is heartening, but the war on waste is far from over..."⠀ ☕️⠀ Back in Issue 38 we were talking all things zero-waste with writer Emily Ehlers (aka @ecowithem), who gave us five zero-waste tips you might not have thought of – including taking a closer look at a good ol' cup of tea. Head to the website now to see some of the best new ways to make changes that make a difference. 👊⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #peppermintmagazine #zerowaste #saynotoplastic #goingzerowaste #zerowastetips #zerowasteliving
  • "This is for you, the ones who are quietly courageous in a culture that tells you to go big or go home. I see you, and I want to remind you that your brave counts, even when it’s in secret, and even when no one is there to witness it.⠀ Please don’t think that your brave needs to be super-sized to rate on some invisible scale of courageous acts. Sometimes, the most brave you’ll ever be happens in private. These are the times when your courage is present without being broadcast across social networks, without others cheerleading you on every step of the way, and without a celebratory party at the end of it. It’s here that it’s just you with yourself, showing up in life as best as you can. ⠀ Do you see your strength? Do you see the guts it takes to do what you do? And do you remember to acknowledge yourself for it?"⠀ .⠀ .⠀ The inspiring @drrebeccaray from Issue 41 in "An ode to quiet courage".⠀ #peppermintmagazine #rebeccaray #theuniverselistenstobrave #bebrave #havecourage #happihabits
  • We can try and ignore climate change, but it won’t ignore us. A heartbreaking day for politics, for the planet and for our children. Don’t stop fighting, the world needs us now more than ever. 👊🏼🌎👊🏼 . .
