About Eco Fluffy Mama & Contact

“Simple and jargon-free posts about living a greener lifestyle”

 

Hello there! My name is Tamsin Hopkins and I’m an award winning ‘Green Living/Eco’ Blogger. I guess you’re here because you want to know a little more about me?

Well, aside from being a total book geek and wannabe earth mother with a menstrual cup obsession, I’m also a huge sci-fi fan. Especially when it comes to Stargate SG1 and Sanctuary. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve rewatched both series. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a strong female character like Samantha Carter or Helen Magnus? (I’m SO inspired by and look up to actress Amanda Tapping – who I’ve met and had tea with.. and she’s read this blog! *fans self*).

I’m also someone who suffers from a very rare congenital condition called Heterotaxy Syndrome. For years I’ve been sick, always being fobbed off as being ‘too young to be ill’, and generally neglected by medical professionals. That was until 2014 when a trip to hospital on blue lights resulted in my issues starting to be uncovered. Because of my Heterotaxy Syndrome, I have several other co-morbid conditions such as Polysplenia, Pancreatic Agenesis (which in itself has caused Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency), Sphincter of Oddy Dysfunction, Recurring Pancreatitis, Gastroparesis (tube fed through an NJ as a result) and many other conditions. You can browse my posts on Chronic Illness here if you’re curious!

Anyway, enough about me and more about what I can do for you. Ever wondered how you be a little greener with your lifestyle, but you’ve no idea where to begin? Well, you’ve come to the right place! On this website you’ll find useful and informative posts on green living; from getting started with going zero waste, to making your own skin and hair care, right through to what brands of cloth pads or menstrual cups I recommend, eco/green product reviews and everything else in-between.
