Going natural seems to be the theme of the year. I’m cutting out the hair dye and letting my hair breathe for a bit, bleach free. I’m trying to reduce the amount of plastic-wrapped goods I buy in the supermarket and signed a petition to eradicate it from our grocery aisles. (The one I signed was a UK .gov one and it’s since closed but you can sign this Greenpeace one.) And I’m teaching myself to embrace a new normal as we head into autumn, in which a walk to the playground in torrential downpour is the norm.
