Healthy Living Guide - Shopping Guides Articles
So many choices. Which one is right for you? Our shopping guides are a breakdown of the best products in each category and a deeper explanation of what they are, who they are best suited to and what makes each one different.
We have guides written about comparing lunch boxes, matching insulated lunch bags to your lunch box, even the flavour of Nutella vs other hazelnut chocolate spreads (research on that one was tough).
Water bottle comparisons are a big one. With so many lid choices and materials available, you can learn whether you really want a stainless steel bottle, a BPA free plastic one or a glass bottle. Not sure which water filter is right for you? We explain the differences between our filters and mainstream products and their running costs. We even drill down to how much plastic waste is produced when filtering your water.
Shopping for a gift? You will find gift guides for specific people, occasions and budgets. Weddings, bridesmaids, your neighbour, teachers? Let us help you choose the perfect gift.
Each summer, we update our sunscreen reviews. You will learn about their consistency, SPF ratings, their packaging, palm oil status and price comparisons. If you want a vegan sunscreen, a tinted sunscreen, something for dry skin, something that rubs in well, something for sensitive skin, all your questions will be answered.
