10 small changes to help the environment

This is very close to my heart.  I wasn’t always this eco conscious, it's a newish concept for me but now that I’m in, let’s say I’m definitely in.  It happened most likely out of boredom and curiosity fueled by unemployment and living in Southern California, which at the time in 2015, according to articles written in the Guardian, Livescience and the Huffington Post was experiencing the worst drought seen in 1,200 years. A very long time.  2015 was in fact the warmest year on record since global recording began in 1880.

Feminine Care - A review: whatever your preference … can you make it friendly?

This post may make the general population a little uncomfortable and the male reader a mixture of disgust and intrigue; but like a biology reproduction class or that unforgettable birds and bees conversation with your parents, it happens and needs to be addressed.  

I think there were two possible scenarios to your own birds and bees, his and hers conversation; either you totally knew more than you let on and were horrified, terrified and excited by the whole subject or you had no idea what this embarrassing and embarrassed adult was talking about and you were still horrified, terrified and excited. Awkward and as cramped as that may have been, "Menstruation", my period, flow, the painters, your friend, the visitors, me yolks, whatever you call your menses, is a bodily function and a monthly affair and I think it is an extremely important issue to talk about. 


The different choices of all the monthly feminine care products available was brought to my attention approximately one year ago.  I have to credit an old co-worker with  shining the light on this for me.  I shamefully admit that I was in ignorant bliss about the rag(e) pads.  I never really considered what happened to the used ones after I skillfully rolled them up like a thick cigar and strategically placed them in the bathroom bin so they couldn't be seen by other bathroom enjoyers and I blithely forgot about them and went about my day.
