Sustainable shopping

If you've been following my blog at all, you'll know that I love all things practical. Since I'm a mom now, what is more practical than being able to do my second hand shopping on my phone while breastfeeding? Ladies, gentlemen, and those who are in between, I bring you Vinted. With my first few…

Sustainably Pregnant!

There you have it! We're expecting our first child this month! Having begun this sustainable lifestyle journey just over a year ago, this opens up a whole new category of sustainable products to explore. There are a few things that I've started already, but I'd love to hear if you have even more suggestions for…

Bar Soap Organizer

I am very excited to share this item with you! Having switched to bar soaps in the shower, it can get tricky to find places to put them. Plus, they're slippery once you've used them and easily slide off the shelf. I've been thinking about how to solve this problem for quite some time, but…

DIY Body Butter

Finding out that one is pregnant comes with finding out all of the things that one should and shouldn't do. Don't eat this, take these supplements, do this exercise, don't drink alcohol, and be prepared for a lot of weird things to happen to your body. One of the symptoms of pregnancy is dry skin…

Hair Care

Just over a year ago, I started this blog. I had grand visions of becoming a semi-business, making some extra money, etc. This didn't exactly happen as it was quite a bit more involved than I had anticipated. However, I'm happy with where I have landed so far. Anyway I decided it was time to…

So, rather than doing a full on post, I just wanted to write a bit about a few new sustainable things I've discovered recently. New thriftshop purchases I've wanted a jean jacket since high…

Free Things!

I recently came across someone's blog about the Buy Nothing Project (unfortunately I don't remember who). I was immediately interested and then almost immediately disappointed that there isn't a project located in Lithuania. Not to be discouraged, I looked into starting one here, but I wasn't quite ready to invest the time necessary (It could…

That Time of Month

Hey ladies! Let’s talk about your period. No one likes to carry around extra tampons in their purse. No one likes to waddle around in a pad like a wet diaper. No one likes to deal with the waste, or spend all that money every month. Photo by Anna Shvets on Pexels.com The great news…

This week’s discoveries

In light of the fact that I simply haven't finished a blog yet, here are some random discoveries from this week. This OatSide the Box Vegan ice cream is delicious! Even my husband preferred it to the rhubarb sorbet that I made this week. There are two other flavors, mango and raspberry that we intend…

Sugaring

As a teenager, I didn't start shaving for quite some time and I didn't even know about the alternatives for an even longer time. Upon seeing my razor bumpy legs, a well meaning pedicurist asked if I also wanted to get my legs waxed. I quickly declined because it sounded like an extremely painful experience,…
