We all know I’m moving house very soon.
Last Monday, I went to Tesco and bought LOADS of things for my new pad. A new hoover, kettle, baking trays, a corkscrew for my wine addiction…
Another thing I bought was basically one of everything from the method cleaning range.
Method is an environmentally friendly, cruelty-free brand. As a vegetarian, I’ve been trying to learn more about natural and cruelty-free products, so I decided to start over when I moved house and buy from the method range.
It must have been fate because a few days later I had an e-mail in my inbox about working with Method to share their campaign with you and host a giveaway. It’s great timing because a few months ago this wouldn’t have been a campaign I would have been interested in working on, but when I got the e-mail, I was already planning a post about method when I had moved into my new place and used their products!
It’s 2016, the era of social media, coloured in eyebrows and selfies.
It’s surprising that from a survey of 1000 UK adults, social media likes and retail therapy aren’t actually the things that make us happiest.
It seems the old best things in live are free saying still stands, with 69% of people being made happier by a sunny day and bright colours making 58% of us feeling happier and more optimistic.
To launch the movement ‘the method way’, method have brought the above bright artwork to London to bright joy and happiness to Londoners.
#themethodway is all about bringing delightful surprises to people and the planet in a design-led, colourful way. The artwork marks the start of a series of delights they’ll be revealing over the summer.
Psychologist Emma Kenny, comments, “Colour and brightness raises our endorphins and generally makes us happier. However, as our lives have become increasingly complex and social media likes have become social currency, it is encouraging to see recognition of how such simple things are still relevant in maintaining our general wellbeing. It is important that we try to find ways in our everyday lives to experience more of the things that give us contentment and lift our spirits. Whether it’s a bright summer’s day or the smell of a fresh fragrance – these are just some of the simple ways that we can achieve more colour and brightness.”
To find out more about how method will be brightening up the nation this summer with a series of unexpected surprises and fun activations, follow @methoduk on Facebook and #themethodway to join in.

Method are giving two of my readers a bundle of cleaning products to help surprise and delight you.
The bundles contain the following:
Good luck!
I’m loving Method lately, I feel like a right housewife! I wanted to try switching to greener cleaners so now as each of my chemical based cleaners runs out I’m trying to replace it with a greener alternative. Method was my first choice after seeing so many people talk about it online and it’s been great! Seriously, a clean home makes me happy haha, I have turned into a right housewife lately!

I love method! As I plod along life, I’m getting more and more into organic, natural things be it cosmetics, food products or household stuff and Method is my absolute favourite!
As for what makes me happy, well, it’s simple; time. If I have time to just spend five minutes just watching my favourite programme without having to multitask, I feel pretty darn accomplished!
I wrote a post about what makes me happy. But my most favourite thing must be rainy Sunday afternoons, cuddled up on the sofa with my better half watching a movie and trying not to fall asleep! xxx
Sunny days and my son Noah 🙂

My little grandson, sunny days and the lovely smell when I’ve cleaned my house!
I think this is true. The older I get I am more concerned about the products I use on myself and my home should be safer, cruelty free, not harmful to the environment and so on. And what makes me happy? making a good home cooked meal and sitting and chatting with my husband at the end of the day. 🙂
