As I was cleaning the glass in my front door yesterday afternoon with Mrs White's Miraculous Glass Cleaner – Let the Light Shine Through! - spraying away I was pleasantly showered in the face by our lovely citrus blend. At the same time I was struck with a notion. What could I be breathing in if I was not using one of Roullier White's all natural Mrs White's people, pet and planet friendly cleaners but one of those nasty toxic ones from the commercial giants? It is likely that the window cleaner or glass cleaner you are liberally spraying around your home contains at least one, or if not more, of the following poisons; ammonia, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol and methanol. Ammonia is a skin and eye irritant which can cause chemical burns. Ethanol is a skin and eye irritant which will cause nausea and vomiting. Isopropyl alcohol is twice as toxic as ethanol and is an active ingredient in antifreeze. However the real killer is methanol, it attacks the nervous system; ingesti

We all want our homes to smell fragrant, but at what cost? Did you realise the air that you are breathing could be poisoning you? What you probably do not know (because the information which is provided is misleading) is that most home fragrances are not derived from plants and flowers but from petrochemicals. Whilst a label might simply say a product contains "fragrance," that fragrance can contain over six-hundred synthetic petrochemicals. Mrs White's people, pet and planet friendly Aroomatics™ range of room and fabric fragrances uses only the finest aromatherapy grade essentials oils, there are absolutely no nasty chemicals in them whatsoever. Pin Provençal ; the fresh and fragrant scent of the cypress pine trees of the South of France. A wonderfully woody aroma with a tangy citrus base note and a touch of ozone. Like a stroll along the wooded Calanques of Cassis. Rose Arbour; when my parents were courting, couples would stroll around the parks on Sunday aft

I first had this salad years ago in a Greek restaurant in New York. It struck me as slightly odd as I was ordering it but it was delicious and later walking the streets and seeing all the masses of chilled watermelons outside the delis it made perfect sense. This is the perfect refreshing summer dish and is ready in minutes. Apart from the feta (40% fat) and the drizzle of healthy olive oil this dish has zero fat. Take lots of cubed chilled watermelon, add red onion and pitted Kalamata olives, crumble over some feta cheese. For extra freshness I sprinkle with fresh mint and oregano and drizzle with olive oil. You can add cucumber but I think the watermelon is a great substitute for both the tomato and cucumber. To pit your olives, or cherries, use one of the amazing Olive Pitters by Oxo GoodGrips .

As the butter versus margarine argument continues to rage, I know what I would be rather spreading on my toast. Delicious organic butter or a synthetic spread that is apparently only one molecule away from plastic? Umm. There is the famous fly test, which I have yet to try, if any of you have please let me know. Apparently an open tub of margarine left in the garden will be completely ignored by flies! Although a low fat margarine may be better if you are watching your fat intake read very carefully the type of fats that the spread contains. As for me there is nothing worst that waking up the the taste for a slice of delicious brown toast and finding the butter has all but gone. Glass butter dishes are the perfect solution but actually hard to come by, we sourced this dish for a French customer who was unable to find one in France. Beurriers to Bordeaux? Beats taking coals to Newcastle n'est-ce pas? Pop along to our East Dulwich store Roullier White 125 Lorship Lane London SE2

Carla Sozzani, the former editor of Italian Vogue and Elle magazine, is the brains behind 10 Corso Como, widely recognized as the world's first concept store. 10 Corso Como opened in 1990 in an old garage space tucked inside a beautiful courtyard, away from the traffic and chaos of surrounding Milan; a cultural and sensory oasis. 10 Corso Como is a fusion of a photography and art gallery, a book and music shop, a design store, a bar, a garden, a café and a restaurant. “Corso Como 10, is a reason in itself to visit Milan" 10 Corso Como, the fragrance is equally as provocative and seductive as the store.. Top notes of rose and geranium blend with base notes of musk and sandalwood. Whilst at its heart is a woody combination of vetiver and “ood-wood”, a native of the forests of Borneo and so precious that the sap of this tree is offered to the Gods.

By far the best way to celebrate Father’s day is with a Barbeque. It couldn’t be more perfect. The kids can help with the preparation, the big kid can do the grilling and mum can sit under a tree with a glass of Sancerre.  What is more if you plan it properly you won’t even have to do any washing up. Organic bottled St Peter's Beer, free from hangover inducing additives, will save you banging on Pete's pearly gates to be let in the morning after. Bottled beers also save on soap suds; the rinsed empties can go straight into the recycling. Serve food you can cook and eat on a wooden  screwer. A wonderful, cheap and effective way to add more patio seating is to buy a whole load of these funky bags you can find in most hardware stores and stuff them with foam rubber or those Quaver type things that flood your kitchen every time you open a mail order package. At last! A use for them! Voilà you have an instant floor cushion that wipes clean and even comes with a handy h

Years later I mentioned this to my mum, saying it was odd that both she and her mother-in-law wore the same fragrance. “Don’t be silly dear,’ she replied, ‘Gran would never wear Eau de Cologne, we did that so you and your sister would feel at home.’ This is the premise behind Mrs White’s Travelling Light Candle, It is all you need to make you feel at home wherever you are in the world.
