Okay this one is really cool or not, quite depends on how you view it. I once wrote about eco-friendly menstrual pads, which got a bit of a mixed reaction from my fellow readers. I guess it does put women off to learn that they have to clean, wash, dry and reuse their feminine towels. I agree it is quite the bother and it takes getting used too but frankly that’s how it was done in the olden days before disposable sanitary napkins came about.

If the world was a perfect place and life was fair and just, then we’d all be peacefully making a decent living doing what we all loved the most. But since that’s not how it works, most of us are stuck at dead end jobs that we really stick to because it pays the bills and there’s hardly room or time to think of any joy to be associated to it. In all honestly my day job is a drag that’s giving me breakouts but I’m blessed because I found Girlsustainable which allows for me to combine my love for green and writing together.

It’s been a tiring day. I’ve driven miles across town in this sickening hot weather for one meeting after another and frankly it’s got me all worn out. Finally back in the comforts of my home I’m refreshed at the sight of these fantastic holidays advertised in the magazines. There are mesmerising, beautiful, picture perfect promises of tranquillity and everything that I would ever want in recuperation from burnout. Only problem is…such luxury are clearly beyond my means – that is if I want to come home from ...

Picking up where we left off with the party planning:

The decorations/setting
The success of any party is highly dependent on selecting the right theme. Now you would have done that and incorporated it into your invites but the decor is going require a bit more thought. When going green, remember that no theme is beyond your reach. You can go ahead and select any – as complicated and elaborate as you would like, it would not be an issue. All you have to do is  keep it to the 3 rules –

The children are our future. And if nature is ever going to stand a chance at survival it will be up to us to ensure that the next generation is all for sustainable living.

I’m happily away from home right now. I’m back at my parents for a short break and I’m enjoying every minute of it. Only problem is, my husband isn’t.  He isn’t here with me, he’s back home and it’s become quite obvious he hates being at home alone...So he’s cut me a deal, if I cut my trip short by 2 days he’ll have a surprise waiting for me at home!

Well it does sound more like bribery but I’m not complaining. In fact I have an elaborate ...

Shopping bags...you really can’t do without them unless you plan on hand carrying/juggling your groceries. Plastic makes them light and convenient but hardly a good thing on the environment. Sure there’s the bio-degradable plastic bags option but avoidance/reduction of the overall use of plastic bags is still the best.
