Who is Mrs Martin?
Lize is a South African wife and mother of three. She is also the strict tester of the soap on the Mrs Martin’s Microbes and More range. When she is not creating content for the soap business, she is helping kiddos develop language, because she is a qualified speech language pathologist.
She says:
I am by nature (and exercise!) frugal. I LOVE saving because it makes me feel efficient. When I spend less than I should, and can do more than I planned, I am thrilled.
This is also the way I approach matters of the environment. I love feeling I send as little waste as possible into nature.
But it cannot cost me a lot. It has to save.
Why? Because I am not living on a homestead filling my day with tasks of survival, although that sounds so alluring.
I am the manager of a normal suburban household with ordinary responsibilities such as keeping the rubbish bin from rotting before rubbish removal day, squashing the pile of dishes… and laundry… and filing… again and again, all the while teaching, training, cleaning and delivering our darling children, producing three meals a day, cordially managing the stream of visitors and delivery men and reps, trying to keep a respectable garden, getting the broken water meter reported, and such.
