Filming for #HughsWarOnPlastic required #SecondHandChic in #Refill brand colours! My aim was to get the Refill logo spotted by the cameras for the TV show. It worked, (all be it brief and me looking very serious!) 👗 Drinking from my @Refill Chilly's bottle.
Second hand shopping #tips below.

💡 You've gotta be in it to win it! Get in there, only look at your size, no need to go through rails and rails. .
💡Find a couple charity shops where you live and work and pop in frequently if you can. I can literally be in and out in five minutes. If not ...
.
💡 Love that dress but no where to wear it? Buy it! Then when do, you'll have that dress waiting!
.
💡 Sometimes you just can't find what you need in charity shops, for that there's ebay and market place etc, jems to be found there ... .
💡Wardrobe straining under the weight of the bargains?! Store the other season in the loft (or a kind friends, when I was between homes for a year that's what I did ...) .

Awesome to share books with Dougie Poynter from McFly!! I'd already read most of his, a brilliant book #PlasticSucks for older kids, it's funny and includes his personal story and with handy tips. It was fab to be able to give him a copy of #SebandPollyPlanet. Totally different books, for different audiences but with the same underlining message, one person can make a difference and together we can prevent #PlasticPollution. He loved the illustrations, of course! 📚
.

I was able to let Dougie and the crowd at Bath Kids Lit Fest know about #Refill and the #RefillApp while he was on stage with Lucy Siegle. So now he has the best solution for water on the go for his second edition. Thanks for the big up from the stage for City to Sea Lucy! .
.
We share mutual connection of the legend Marcus Eriksen of @5gyres who taught Dougie about plastic pollution. Marcus has kindly given an awesome review of Seb and Polly Planet. .

Dougie and his girlfriend @maddyelmer now have their Refill Chilly's bottles. She was so sweet I forgot she's a supermodel, lovely chatting to her. Though as a photographer I knew I'd love to have her the other side of my camera, she's stunning!
.
.
Dougie is bringing solutions to plastic pollution to another audience, he seemed like a genuine nice lad who can use his influence and superpower to help change the world. Go Dougie. And we're both superheroes from #Essex!

Wearing, #SecondHandChic - of course

One of the stunning illustrations from 'Seb and Polly Planet on their Ocean Quest' ... "Skilfully, Polly guided them out of the window, and they zoomed into the night sky! �Soon they were whizzing over the town, loop the looping over fields, forests and beaches. The land glittered in the moonlight, as Seb whispered, “It’s incredible!” “I know,” replied Polly. “Hold on tight! There’s more to see.” 📚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
