DIY Menstrual Pads
Happy menstrual hygiene day! What a perfect opportunity to write a post on my nature-loving-lifestyle blog. Because everybody knows of the amount of unnecessary trash that comes with menstrual hygiene. I mean, plastic tampon applicators, double the size of the tampon and everything then wrapped individually in a plastic baggy? Are you kidding me? Now…
Nature Care Challenge | May 2020: Plogging

Nature Care Challenge | December 2019: Wrap Up Nicely
Oh look! It’s another festive season! Its the season for panicked shopping and stress-relieve-decorating. Aaaaah consumerism! Let us bury ourselves in garbage! Yes, I have been called a Grinch before, but hear me out: I’m a fan of Greta Thunberg and in a recent interview I saw on the Ellen Show, I learned her top…
