So, I've been particularly quiet on social media and there have been a few reasons for that!

Firstly, I've been spending my evenings preparing for my kinusaiga workshops that are coming up in Essex soon! I am so excited to share this amazing craft with friends, family and craft-lovers around Essex!

Also, I've been busy putting together a book about Kinusaiga, it's origins, the equipment you'll need to set it up for yourself and sharing templates I've used for a range of abilities!

I would absolutely love it if you could click on the link and '❤️' the product, and share it with friends, to help me compete with the AI books! And, of course if you want to try Kinusaiga yourself, you could buy it too!

If you're not ready to commit to buying all of the equipment yourself, you could always purchase one of my up-cycled kits which use Preloved material and all of them include a donation to various charities around Essex! I'll be bringing them to my workshops but hope to be setting them up on Etsy soon!

Thanks for supporting me! 🤩👘😍❤️

Don't fall for the "No added sugar" line. 🛑

We see "No Added Sugar" stamped in bold letters on kids' drinks and snacks and naturally assume it’s the healthy choice. But here is the truth supermarket marketing won't tell you: these snacks are still packed with sugar, and it's actively harming their health.

Why "No Added Sugar" is misleading:

Stripped of Fibre: When whole fruit is processed into juice concentrates or smooth purees, the natural cellular Fibre matrix is completely destroyed.

The Liver Can't Tell the Difference: Without Fibre to slow down absorption, concentrated "natural" fruit sugars hit your child's bloodstream and liver with the exact same speed and impact as table sugar.

The Hidden Fibre Crisis: Over 80% of UK children fail to hit their daily Fibre target. Replacing whole fruit with processed "no added sugar" alternatives starves their gut microbiome of the essential Fibre needed for digestion, mood, and immunity.

3 Smart Swaps for Drinks & Snacks:

❌ "No Added Sugar" Juice Boxes ➡️ 💧 Water Infused with Fresh Orange or Strawberries (Hydration without the blood sugar spike)

❌ Fruit Snack Pouches ➡️ 🍏 Whole Apple Slices or Berries (Keeps the Fibre matrix intact)

❌ Flavoured Squashes & Waters ➡️ 🥛 Whole Milk or Unsweetened Plant Milk (Delivers real protein and calcium)
