Hello all! Happy Sunday and Mother’s Day to anyone who celebrates! It’s a rainy day here in fairyland but the flowers are happy! I left the link to the hairdresser shop where I bought the hair dye in the description box because so many of you have been asking!! I hope you are all well. Sending you love from Ireland! 💕☘️🐝🌈

Fairyland Cottage. I need your email address. I have some questions I need to ask you.

i appreciate you voicing that life can be messy and not pretty.

"Don't be attached to the outcome" Love that. 🌸 Going with the flow and just letting the experience take you can be the most beautiful experience. 💕

I started to be conscious when I came across your channel a few years back. I agree, it is not easy, messy at times however the happiness and fulfillment after doing your own DIY without care in comparing the results is a true gem. Honestly, I am a work in progress on my sustainable living and zero waste lifestyle but the key here is not to force yourself because that is where disappointment, frustrations comes in. I have tried some of Niamh recipes and make variations too depending on what is available at home and it amaze me of what can be done. Happy Mothers Day to all the lovely ladies in this community! ✨✨🌸❤️

Messy, but the end result is so worth it. Your hair turned out beautiful!

One fundamental we live by is not allowing others judgments of how we live take root. I don't know why but living sustainably really ticks some folks off and we just have to ignore it.

So true!!

My husband and I grew up in more "urban" environments. But when we had kids, we decided to move to a much more rural area and purchased some land. EVERYTHING was new to us and we made many mistakes. But, now after 27 years we have a huge garden and put up veggies to last through out the year! I also have serious health issues and am sensitive to chemicals. I really appreciate all I have learned from YOU!! Thank you!

In a round-about way, I think that living a sustainable lifestyle means spending time at home, which, we are all doing a lot of these days. When we’re at home we’re cooking (and in some cases growing) our own food, making and repairing our favourite things instead of purchasing more stuff, using package-free items that we have shopped hard to find, conserving fossil fuel by not driving around, and creating our own entertainment and physical activity. I know this is hard on small businesses, but I think it is better for the planet... this is a bit of a conundrum. Thanks for this video today Niamh, it was great 🌿🌸💜

i'm so early haha. this channel is such a source of calmness and inner peace. i love your work so much.

Another lovely video to wake up with on my Sunday morning. I slip the blanket over my head and use my earbuds to watch and listen so as not to disturb my husband before it's time to get up and prepare for church. Thank you for your efforts. Have a wonderful week.

Your videos are always magnificent!...its such a blessing to have a channel like this to watch and learn from!😊. The cinematography is indeed glorious!

I love your videos. No pushing books, etc, just great ideas and peaceful tones. Thank you. 🙏

7:00 am on Sunday means it is time to watch Fairyland Cottage! It's a great way to begin my Sunday. I never knew that there were natural hair dyes like the one you used. It turned out so pretty I think. Did you like how it ended up? You're right about things not always be aesthetically pleasing. Eco-friendly/sustainable doesn't always equate to our society's standard of beauty, but that's okay! Blessings to you my friend!! :)

Ah 7am! So early! I liked the result I just would have gone for a different colour maybe a medium brown not the chestnut colour I used. Blessings my friend :-)

This was such an empowering list! I especially liked what your said about compromise. So often, we can get caught up in what we can't do and can become overwhelmed with how unsustainable things can be. But this made me think about all that can be done. We still have the ability and power to make choices. Maybe they aren't always perfect but compromising still requires to think through the options with what you've got choice with, and you can try and make an informed choice verses thinking 'what's the point'.

You pointed out several really important things here today. Reminding people that a truly simple and sustainable life isn't always the most beautiful - it certainly can be! Most times it is for me, but not always. It *is* about making that smart choice *even when* it means compromising a bit on the final look. And the other *oh so absolutely important* reminder that we should *not* listen to judgmental people who devote all of their time looking for places to pile on their sanctimony. (sigh) It's *ALL* about doing what we can and what works best in our lives. It's so odd how people are now-a-days. What rational person would have ever thought that someone could take issue with someone deciding to use a blow dryer. It continually shocks me, the length people will go to invade people's lives with their demands on it should be lived. I'm old enough to remember a time when decent, mannered people would *never* behave like that. Anyway, it was wonderful to hear you remind folks it feels great to make these sustainable choices and to focus on choices that are *right for them* while ignoring all incoming nonsense.

DIY beauty care can indeed be messy. Goodness, the kind of soap alternatives one use can be nightmarish at first. But one gets used to it with time, & the results are so great over the long term you just tend to disregard a mild inconvenience 😃

I am a furniture painter, DIYer, and artist, and I absolutely love using clay-based paints, stains, and sealants for my projects. No bleh chemicals and I feel better knowing I am selling products that are clean. Also, if I am not getting food from my garden I try to shop local markets to support my community.

I was given some bucherblook countertop leftover pieces from a costumer some are big enough to make cutting boards out of it. And some are long pieces perfect for shelf. I'm definitely going to try the vinegar method. Thanks for responding on Instagram by the way. Have a great mother's day too you and all mother's out there ❤

Yes! I love you pointing out that sustainable life is not always "beautiful" like every video showed, sometimes it is rather a mess. When I first started to live a sustainable life, I followed the KZreadrs to buy a lot of new eco-friendly stuff to make my room looks like that type. When looking back, I guess I was just dropping in a new way of wasting. Now, I realize that sustainable life is not a stereotype and everyone can start doing it without buying new "beautiful" things.

I love how you share the importance of sustainability! 🌿 You simplify it and make it sound easy and approachable. 😊

Hand-made and home-made products using natural or eco-friendly elements is always so gratifying. When it's done and you stop everything to see your creation, and then use it, that's the best feeling ever.

Wow... ..I wish we had rain. I live in Northern California and we're going through a big drought. I'm makings sure to watch my water use. Having fun in the garden growing herbs. Love watching your videos on Sunday. Thanks

Love how your hair turned out! You bring so much to your channel. Thank you so much!

It is so, so nice how you tell a story. Walking around, letting us in to your world (witch I like a lot) making or doing something, and then making your point step by step. It makes me curious what it is this time. Love the sphere. 💖💖

Thank you for being real and not romanticizing sustainable living or making it seem like we’re failures for not achieving sustainable “perfection” (as if that exists!).

I always save your videos to watch on a Monday morning before work. They set me up for the week ! Thank you.

I stopped dyeing my hair 8 months ago. I couldn’t stand to apply those chemicals on my head anymore and decided to let my greys grow. I love my hair, it was the best decision for me. I agree with you, you have to do what works for you and don’t listen to people. The secret of happiness is to do what makes you happy. Your hair is beautiful and shiny, messy job but it was worth it! 😉👍❤️

Enjoying your tips on haïr dye & natural wood staining here in the Pyrénées Orientales. Enjoy your Sunday

I Love how you professionally incubate virtual partnerships, and then energistically plagiarize multimedia based experiences to further enhance personal growth so that we may continually develop cross-unit paradigms. Well said.

Your hair looks gorgeous Niamh! Love what you did with the shelves too! I love findings things that are useful in skips ( with permission) I recently found metal bars that fit together to make a framework for my peas to grow up 💚

Thank you, Niamh, have a wonderfull week you too.🌸💮🏵

Love the hair colour, Niamh! ♥ I do have to say, though, that I also love your hair when you let your natural waves out to play. ;) It's nice to have different ways to wear one's hair. :) I love that stain idea!

Life IS MESSY! Perfection isn't really a sustainable goal. It's great that you have an outdoor area where you can enjoy your messy projects or hobbies and still keep your home neat.

There is so much joy in using the things you already have! You have to be creative, you do something for the environment and you have something really unique that nobody else has! Love your videos, dear Niamh! 🍀💚 Have a wonderful week! 💛☀️🌼

I totally love this! Have a great week and I look forward to your next video. Happy Mother’s Day

Thank you for sharing your preference to blow dry your hair and being okay with this comfort. I'm constantly hard on my self for so many things. If I do 10 great things I can still get stuck on the 1 I could do 'better'. Thank you for your reminder 💖

Your voice is so soothing . Thank you so much for this beautiful video 😊

I just used henna dye for the first time 3 weeks ago, and I LOVE the color of my hair, plus it made my hair healthier!🤗your hair looks amazing!💖

Thank you for another lovely inspirational and calming video. I love that you are so into sustainable living. I'm going to try the vinegar /steel wool mix. ❤

your videos are so lovely! The shelves came out beautiful! Fresh herbs in tea are the best!

Beautiful hair! Beautiful shelves! I love your channel x

Brilliant video! So many great tips!❤️😊

I've heard of that technique with the steel wool and vinegar, considered using it for our butcher block countertops, but decided to leave them natural instead of darkening them and just used a natural oil on them. I love how you kept the fundamentals of sustainable living easy and simple. ❤️💛💜

That natural hair dye looks great! The wonderful thing about a natural one is that, while it's just as messy as a chemical one, you don't have to be so afraid of getting it in your eyes. I love your channel, it's always an inspiration!

Amazing.. I have just bought Henna for hair dye from local shop at Cork Ireland 🇮🇪. Lovely

Such a beautiful video! Loved it!

I have found you to be such a Great inspiration since I recently found your channel 2 months ago. Your tips, recipes and personal insights have really helped me also being vegan to go back to my grandparents roots and go simple. God bless you and yours.x

Happy Sunday, Niahm.Your shelves turned out lovely - the vinegar will freshen the air at the same time. A win-win! Your hair looks so shiny and the colour gave it depth. Well done. I used to colour my hair blonde (like my younger self) with natural products, but since COVID I have grown it out and embraced my grey. I've tried before but wasn't ready, I guess. I'm pleased with it this year. Again this year I planted a 5gallon pot of my favourite herbs and added a pot of mint for my husband's morning tea. Also found a long self-watering planter that fits on the steps in front of our mast and am growing mixed salad greens. Tonight we harvested some and had a lovely fresh salad with plenty of other veggies and some leftover chicken breast. Such a sense of accomplishment and enjoyed the simplicity of gathering my dinner in a woven basket to the sounds of Bald Eagles singing on the beach. Heavenly. Look forward every Sunday and your uploads, they make every Sunday a happy Sunday. Cheers! From Canada's west coast.

Thank you-thought-provoking as usual: I am currently working on my own list of fundamentals for sustainability! :)

Thank you for the peace and inspiration.

Another wonderful day with you. Happy Sunday.

I too love when you said "do'n't be attached to the outcome". That's a struggle for me! 2 Years ago this month I decided to stop dying my hair, mainly because I was going to the hairdresser every 2 weeks and with a semi permanent dye, the roots were showing within a couple of days. My hair is almost waist length and at first it looked awful. What a journey, but I'm really happy with the silver color, my hair is healthier, and I'm saving time and money. I'm glad you found a natural solution and your hair looks beautiful :)

I appreciate your idea of compromise and doing what’s best for you. Blessings.

Thank you for sharing ❤️ I hope you will have a wonderful day ❤️

In the summer I use henna, like you used, but I wash it out in the garden with the garden hose, it doesn't clog my drains and it feeds the garden. In winter, I use a different henna product, not so thick. I also just made soap for the first time - OMG why didn't I do this sooner?!! All the fear about making soap held me back, easy, super cheap, and rose petals from the garden -- ha, ever really happy with yourself and then blame yourself for not doing it sooner, and then forgive yourself and wash it off with soap!! lol love the wood shelves, going to do that one soon!

Your hair turned out so pretty. I love that you made your own stain. Perfect on the shelves. Wish your videos were longer. I enjoy every one of them. Happy Day! 💕💐

What you're sharing is so 👍 true. Extra money is not laying around and using from what nature has to offer, giving, creating, reusing is the ticket. Thank you for sharing.

Great video, again. Your voice is calming and your videos are serene. Thanks.

Love the tip on the home made wood stain xx

Looooove Sundays with you Niamh there always cheerful an you give great advice always, love those natural hair dyes, there alot gentle on the hair then those with peroxides, 🙄thanks for a great vlog, stay well, 📺♥️👍🌏🌏🌏🌏

Thank you for sharing your philosophy and wisdom

Love ur video chronicles 💖...full of tranquility!

Sunday is very special to me for many reasons... You r one of them.... Thank you so much dear....

Great video Niamh Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

Hello I was thinking that the hair dye looked like mud but when I saw the results it was amazing. The color is wonderful on you!

Love your outlook on life. Go with the flow and what happens it's ok👍👍💚❤

Oh my Gosh I just loved the stain you made!! How cool is that!!!

Such a peaceful video🥰

Real useful tips ... thanks I am more and more inclined to slow and sustainable living each day....I love your videos ❤🌸🌺

Beautiful work as always. Sending love and care your way.

Thank you Niamh for the lovely video as always. I was always intrigued by Ireland , such a beautiful country. We get to see glimpses through you. Your videos inspired me to try eliminating soap, now me & my toddler bathe in chickpea flour. I'm using soap nut powder to wash vessels. I'm using washable & reusable sanitary pads & potty trained my son early 😅All thanks to you I'm trying to go back to my roots & not try to burden mother earth more. Jai Sri Krishna 🙏

I would add to keep trying new things. Life is a process❤️

I have always bought the herbs in pot as they seem way more sensible as they are really fresh and if you care for them they keep making leaves for ago. I have a basil plant bought 6 months ago and it is survived all winter and is still going strong. I haven’t had a stable enough living environment for more permanent plants but a pot of herbs look beautiful and a very useful.

Her voice is so calm and warm 😻

Love those shelves, they would look good with some wooden brackets, I made a set several years ago from a piece of wood and a paint can lid and a glass! I cut a slice of wood into a square then put the large can lid on the one side to make a arched shape then used the glass to add a little cut out from the big arched bit,you end up with a perfect l shape block with beautiful detail ,and just screw it as you would normal brackets, Not sure about that hair dye mind,I remember using herbal hair dye many years ago and apart from the stink of it,my hands and everything the dye touched still had it on 6 months later lol...

This one s a good video. Your hair is beautiful!! Supporting small business is awesome!! 👍❤️☺️

You have really inspired me to live simply, cut out the waste and even start a home Garden. I love u our videos. Much love from Sri Lanka.

There's something so rewarding purchasing from small local businesses.

Your hair is beautiful. The color is very rich and natural looking. I really enjoy your way of thinking. Very easy.
