Bath-time Fun-time Anytime

At the cranky end of the day or when there's time to kill, there's nothing better than bath-time fun for babies and toddlers. Splashy, bubbly, warm and frothy, it's great bonding for mums, dads and their bubs. At Earthwise, we are big on bath-time so we asked our Earthwise fans to let us know what favourite companion or toy is a 'must-grab' when the taps start running?

Cleaning up red wine spills

Following the theme of great Earthwise product stories, here's one I'm sure we can all relate to! Matt was happily enjoying a few social glasses of wine with his house mates, when he sent a full glass of red flying. Here's Matt to explain what happened next

Do you separate your laundry?

Stained socks, grubby cloth nappies, muddy rugby gear, smelly fishing clothes and greasy chef's uniforms - do you separate out badly soiled clothes or chuck it all in your washing machine together and hope for the best?

Earthwise Black Wash

That little black dress, our slimming black jeans and cozy black winter leggings - we just love black! But when the new dense colour starts to fade and is replaced by washed-out dark grey, it's disappointing and it seems to happen all too fast. Keeping our blacks black is as much a priority as getting our whites white for most of us.

Fan favourite product

Not raindrops on roses or whiskers on kittens, but hand wash, laundry liquid and dish washer powder. We decided to ask our fans which Earthwise product made it to the top of their list and there was a huge spread of answers. It looks like we really might have something for everyone.

Getting kids to clean up

We all know we should encourage it. Most families have an opinion on it. What age-old dilemma are we talking about? Getting the kids to clean up around the house. We recently asked Earthwise fans to tell us what works best the kids in their house - to clean or not to clean?

Happy Hippos help play the day away

Wow! Our Earthwise fans are a creative bunch. When we asked how YOU can reuse the Earthwise Happy Hippo containers, we were amazed by the sheer number of different answers that we received. These ideas were way too good to keep to ourselves, so we thought we'd share them.

How do you relax?

Is it fresh linen on the bed, a clean house, the smell of chocolate ganache, baking bread or cookies warm from the oven, or is it fragrances from essential oils, candles and diffusers? Relaxing is vital to our health and we don't often 'stop, and smell the coffee'. We asked our Facebook fans to share their favourite ways to indulge their senses and we thought we'd share them with you.

New Zealand's biggest Earthwise fan

Aurora is a second generation Earthwise fan who grew up in a family that believed strongly in using natural products. Her father, an anaesthetist, was concerned about the overload of chemicals and the rise of super bugs over time - read more here for Aurora's full story.

Real Kiwis love Nourish

Sometimes it can be hard to know what to believe. Paid product reviews and marketing campaigns can swing your attention away from real experiences. We asked some real Earthwise fans for their open and honest opinion of our Nourish range.

Saving daylight

With summer comes extra-long days and warmer nights thanks to daylight savings. That extra daylight brings more than just extra sunshine - we all know how much more energised we feel when the skies are bright! With daylight savings ending on April 2, why not use the weeks we have left wisely? Here are some things that you could be doing to make the most of the extra hot hour and help you love that light...

Spring Cleaning, you're dreaming!

There are so many ways to tackle spring cleaning: top to bottom; inside out; outside in; one end to the other, smallest room to the largest and even around in circles, but there are a few things that most Earthwise fans seem to agree upon...

Staycation - a winter holiday at home

The winter school holidays are upon us. If you want to have a break without spending up big, why not consider a staycation or a holistay - taking a break much closer to home to enjoy some affordable time off. Here's some tips that we have received from our Facebook community.
