Welcome to Better Without, where you can find anything related to homeschooling 3 kids, clean eating and beauty routine. Join me in my quest to make things more earthy, Better Without All that Bother You

Festive Shopping Ideas!

If like mine, your kids love arts and crafts, you will find this hands on advent calendar a great place to start, there is a 15% discount when you order now, I honestly find the quality of their products amazing.

I am obsessed with clean beauty and can spend hours in a shop finding the non toxic clean products for the whole family. My husband loves soaps and I am so excited to have found Hazelwood, it has so much more! Check out their wide range of gifts ideas for all!

When it comes to outdoors, whether it is sitting in your back garden, going to a festival or organising a camping expedition, I have found the sturdiest compact chairs ever in this Danish company, here again if you are stuck for ideas for gifts take a look at this high tech chair it can please anyone in the family.
