Let's keep our cool and cut down on food waste
The majority of people admit to wasting food every week, largely due to not knowing how to organise or stock their fridge correctly.
Not just to swing it open so we can plunge our faces in for a blast of blessed cool factor (or a sneaky spoonful of ice-cream from the freezer compartment). Fess up and hands up if, like me, you sometimes stash your lotions and potions in the fridge side by side with soup?
And in heatwaves, post-sun, gel-based products feel oh-so-soothing when applied cold. Eleanor Martin, showroom manager at Home of Innovation, Dublin, agrees. “I regularly hear of everything from aloe vera gel to toothpaste being kept chilled — it’s a growing trend that really highlights how personal refrigeration needs have evolved,” she tells Home.
