Organic Babies!


Hannah and Tim were parents to a baby daughter!

At that point they wanted to protect their vulnerable child, but didn't know what clothes they should buy. They were looking for alternatives to conventional cotton.

Why did they choose organic cotton clothes for their baby?

A baby’s skin is up to 5 times thinner than adult skin, they have higher metabolisms and lower weight making them extremely susceptible to absorbing toxins and more sensitive to chemicals (more information). Organic cotton has none of these harmful chemicles and is produced without the use of pesticides making it a much healthier option, especially for infants and those with skin conditions such as eczema.

And this is why Earthlings was born.

Hannah and Tim started a family run business and now specialize in truly organic baby clothes. Earthlings is an ethically conscious brand producing beautiful and environmentally responsible organic cotton clothing for babies, toddlers and kids. Their designs are made using completely chemical free fabrics and they are committed to trading fairly with all their suppliers throughout the supply chain.

A happy ending!

Becky, their baby daughter is happy, they are happy, kids are happy, Fairtrade is happy, the Earth is happy!

Celebrating Charles Darwin!

Once upon a time there was a little boy who collected birds' eggs and sea shells, beetles and coins, moths and minerals. He wasn’t a very good student, school just bored him. He had some difficulties in memorizing but he never tired of studying the details of the natural world. He was born in Shrewsbury, a rural town in England and he spent hours watching birds and lying under the dining-room table, reading.

As a teenager, he was thrilled by chemistry, biology, botany and geology. His father wanted him to be a doctor. But as he studied at the University of Cambridge, his teachers recognized his potential. Finally, his true talent for natural history blossomed.


One day he was invited to join a ship called Beagle for a trip around the world. It was time to follow his dream! He went as the ship's naturalist and for most of the next five years, the Beagle surveyed the coast of South America. He was free to explore the continent and islands, including the Galapagos and he filled dozens of notebooks with careful observations on animals, plants and geology, and collected thousands of specimens, which he sent home for further study.

Darwin later called the Beagle voyage "by far the most important event in my life," saying it "determined my whole career." By the time he returned, he was an established naturalist, well-known in London for the astonishing collections he had sent ahead. The Beagle voyage would provide Darwin with a lifetime of experiences to think about and the seeds of a theory he would work on for the rest of his life.


Charles Darwin was born on February 12th, 1809 and this week we celebrate his 200th birthday!

Learning the Chakras!


Chakras are our energy centers. A Chakra is like a spiral of energy, each one relating to the others. Chakra (pronounced sha-kra) is the Sanskrit word for ' wheel '.

If you can imagine the main chakras / energy centres as a set of cogs/wheels, they are rather like the workings of a clock or an engine; each cog /wheel needs to move smoothly and at a similar speed for the clock / engine to work properly.

Thus good health and well being is achieved by a balance of all these energies (or the smooth running of the cogs/wheels). Click here and here to learn more about the chakras.
