Hunter + Boo Blog

Meet Jenny Stewart, qualified yoga teacher, Co-Founder of wellness platform Balance + Glo, and new mum to Freddie. 

Jenny has been practicing yoga for over 15 years and since moving to the Isle of Wight just over three years ago, has embraced all things coastal and island-living. 

We were excited to chat with Jenny for our Super Mum series. Read on to hear about her experiences as a new mum, tops-tips for mum self-care, favourite island eco-businesses, plus more about the exciting launch of Balance + Glo's new wellness series created and designed for new and expectant mammas, Bump + Beyond.

We are excited to introduce Joanna Lee, the founder of baby clothing rental business, Grokinder, to our Super Mum blog series. 

We first met Joanna when she was in the process of setting up Grokinder and approached us about becoming a stockist of Hunter+Boo.

We are inspired by the company's ethos, to source "quality, organic clothes from sustainable brands, and increase their lifespan by rotating them to multiple families for as long as the clothes remain in a good enough condition" and were keen to know more about Joanna's background, sources of inspiration and green living tips. 

Read on to hear more about Joanna's story of how the business came to be when, triggered by the desire to have a more flexible work-life balance, she took the leap from the corporate world to pursue her own passion for a unique offering with a circular economy approach.  

Did you know kids go through seven sizes of clothing in their first two years alone?!

In our latest Super Mum series we chat with Sally Giblin, Co-founder and CEO of Pure Bundle, a London based startup that’s disrupting children’s fashion. We were excited to learn more about her mission to make fashion circular and what led to the launch of her sustainable fashion platform. 

The former Fashion Buyer and Management Consultant talks us through her own sustainable fashion journey, how parents can simplify their lives with a capsule wardrobe and the importance of raising Little Eco Warriors.

Did you know that research has shown that mums have on average, just 17 minutes of time to themselves each day?!

Being a mum is hard work! From waking in the middle of the night to feed your baby to picking the kids up from school, us mums have busy schedules and that means we’re often exhausted.

So when it comes to looking after your own health and wellness, it’s totally normal to feel stressed and not know where to start...

Fortunately, we caught up with Health Coach and Mindfulness Teacher, Lou, who has shared her favourite micro-self care tools for mums that have ‘no time’ for self-care.

Take some time for YOU, now. Pop the kettle on, and read all about how learning to squeeze self-care into your life may actually lead to less stress, more patience and a clearer focus.  

It's back! We are pleased to welcome the return of our Super Mums blog, a series where we interview Mums who inspire us here at Hunter+Boo. We are ...

As a small family run business, Sarah and I have been using this week to regroup and talk about what we can do as individuals, and as a brand to continue to support the black community.

It's easy not to say anything, for fear of saying the wrong thing, offending someone or not knowing enough. Whilst the thought of making such mistakes is scary as a small business, the thought of doing nothing is, for us, scarier.

As a brand, we will continue to, and work harder to engage and show POC across our social media, as well as our marketing campaigns online.

Amongst all the craziness and uncertainty of the world right now, its heart warming to see people use social media and technology to come together as a community, not only to stay in touch, but to share their gifts and talents! Like many other parents right now, with working and schooling from home becoming our new normal, we have been struggling to create any kind of work-life balance and structure to our days! One lifeline has been discovering so many fantastic and creative online resources which help keep the kids both entertained and educated and give us that precious ten minutes' peace!

Meet Mathilde Moyell Juul, the founder of green lifestyle guide, orgayana.

This travel-loving Danish-born Super Mum talks us through how she fulfilled her early career ambitions as a journalist and editor, and how struggles with a personal health crisis were a lightbulb moment to pursue an interest in her own personal passion; sharing with others how to create a more sustainable lifestyle.

We recently caught up with Sjaniël Turrell, holistic makeup artist and Super Mum to two gorgeous boys - Jaden and Riley.

Before juggling motherhood and combining her expertise in nutrition and health with clean beauty, Sjaniël worked as an international model for 15 years before moving to London. Her love for all things health and wellness grew, culminating in a qualification as a nutritional therapist. 

With over 20 years' experience in the industry, Sjaniël talks us through Supermodel era make-up vs. today, the importance of using natural and organic skincare, to how her parenting style has changed with each of her babies.
