Behind the Blog

I started this blog in 2019 as a way of documenting my journey in to sustainable living. When most people think of sustainable living they think of our environment and how we can save our planet and whilst that's important, in my head there was always a big part of sustainable living that to me, was missing. We have to also learn to live sustainably with regard to our mental and physical health because if we can't take care of ourselves then how are we ever going to take care of an entire planet? So that's where Milk Thistle comes in. This is a place where I post about my mental, physical and emotional health whilst also posting advice and demonstrations on how to live more consciously and with less of an impact on our earth.

And I guess you're also wondering who I am? I'm Ella, I'm currently 20 years old and live in England. I work full time as a receptionist and my hobbies are blogging, knitting and writing music. I've always been very conscious of my mental and physical health and honestly, it's not always been an easy ride. I've always favoured a "natural" way of living (but realise this absolutely isn't for everyone) and through exploring this I feel that I've found a "sustainable lifestyle" that works for me. If your interests are similar then this blog is definitely for you, and may even help you to do the same things that I have.

If you have any questions or just want to get in touch then my socials are linked throughout the blog. Don't hesitate to drop me a message!
