About

n4mummy is written and curated by sustainable blogger Karen Maurice. She lives in North London with her husband and three children.

Whilst stuck in a world of nappies, it can be difficult to see ourselves as something other than a mum, and yet I have always loved clothes and loved the way we can express our personalities through them. Before becoming a sustainable blogger, I spent 10 years working in the fashion industry as a buyer. My job was to buy the clothes you may well own. During this time I perfected the art of shopping, trend prediction and outfit styling.

Sustainable Fashion

Since giving birth to my children, I’ve had time to stop and reflect on the impact fast fashion has on the people who make our clothes, our environment and ourselves. So often I have bought clothes driven by the fear of not looking right. Believing the lie that if I just had “X” then my life would be perfect compels me to buy even more. So through this blog I am challenging myself to think beyond the latest high street trend; to practise being content with buying less but selecting well.

Sustainable Living

My sustainable journey started with clothing, but has slowly worked its way into every area of life. From finding affordable ethical clothing brands, to making our bathroom plastic free, or hosting a kids zero waste birthday party. As a family, we are constantly seeking affordable sustainable alternatives for everyday living.

Sustainable Blogger

When I first started writing about sustainability it wasn’t topical. But today people have begun to realise how just how precious and fragile our earth’s resources are, so living sustainably has become really important. As a result I’ve worked for several brands as an expert on sustainability. Writing magazine articles, recording podcasts, being quoted in national newspapers and even filming my top tips for an eco-friendly Christmas.

So to sum it up, n4mummy is a blog for anyone seeking to live a more sustainable life. By a mum who adores fashion, beauty and interiors but who is seeking to live a little more consciously.
