We all need some extra love during the holidays and, this year more than ever, a small gesture (like handwritten Christmas cards) could mean a lot to someone you care about.  Christmas is around the corner and, even though the holiday season is always an incredibly emotional one, I have the feeling that this year […]

If Britain was once a nation of tea drinkers, it’s coffee that seems to be the beverage that moves the UK economy. In 2018, Britons spent a whooping £10bn in takeaway coffees, an incredible amount of money that is set to rise once cafés are free to open again.  Most of us know a coffee […]

We know where our vegetables come from, where our clothes were made and how many plastic bottles went into making our leggings – but do we know what’s inside our beauty products? The truth is, with extremely long lists of ingredients, chances are that most of us wouldn’t be able to recognise half of them.  […]

The world of virtual dating is hard to navigate. It can be great fun, leading to exhilarating experiences or, at the very least, some short-term texting entertainment. But sometimes these apps can take over, consuming us and demanding too much time and attention. How do you know when it’s time to put your phone down […]

The last months – or can we say a year, at this point? – haven’t been very creative when it comes to outfits. We have been living in our cosy pyjamas and only rarely upgrading our working from home style to some comfortable leggings or loungewear. Maybe we have been putting a jumper on to […]

Gyms are closed and the weather is miserable, but those are not excuses to be lazy this winter.  As much as we would all prefer to curl up on the sofa while we wait for this pandemic to (finally) end, physical exercise is extremely important to keep those endorphins coming and maintain, not only our […]

Since March, we have seen big, unethical companies like Amazon and Boohoo getting even more money than usual while small businesses and shops were (and still are) scraping the bottom of the barrel to make ends meet. This year, British people are predicted to spend £1bn more during Christmas compared to last year and, unfortunately, […]

We chose the prettiest sustainable and ethical pyjamas to get even cosier this winter. With the stress produced by this crazy year and a new lockdown forcing us in our homes, it’s more important than ever to treat ourselves. Pyjamas have been the item of clothing that we have used the most in the last […]

Alex Platt joined us on Pretty Good Business podcast just before launching his first Kickstarter campaign to get Mocean Fitness off the ground. His dream is to build a sustainable fitness brand that will be kind to people, animals and the planet.  In this interview, we talked with Alex about taking care of our oceans, […]

Sustainability in travel and the necessity of giving back to local communities when travelling has become a big topic, especially in the last couple of years. There is no doubt that the travel industry is one of the biggest polluting industries on the planet. Still, we also have to realise that tourism plays a massive […]

We might have to stay home, but this doesn’t mean we have to be miserable. Here, we selected the best colourful jumpers to bring some happiness to your lockdown.  Winter is officially here, the temperatures are slowly dropping, and porridge and hot chocolates have steadily taken the place of ice-cream and salads. The month of […]

These last few months haven’t been easy, but they have been inspiring for a lot of us. We spoke with a few women that took the leap to start their own business in 2020.  This year has been a wild ride, a lot of people lost their jobs due to the pandemic, some had to […]
