| Article Title :: MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS FOR THE FRUGAL, ECOLOGICALLY-CONSCIOUS WOMAN |
| |
|
Did you know that the average woman spends approximately $4.00 a
month on menstrual products? From the ages of 12 to 52, she
would therefore spend up to $1900 in her lifetime!
And if she is more health-conscious, her costs will go up
significantly, because very likely, she will decide to use
organic cotton tampons and pads, rather than those made from
less expensive synthetic materials, such as rayon. The reason
these women choose the organic cotton versions of these products
centers around the fact that the synthetics have been linked to
potential health hazards, such as Toxic Shock Syndrome and
exposure to dioxin.
As you might imagine, the cost of organic tampons and pads is

| Article Title :: The Top Ten Things I Learned from My Garden |
| |
|
1. Weed.
Planting seeds means that at some point you're going to have to
remove some of the plants so that other ones have the chance to
grow and thrive. In the same way, you only have so much space in
your life and you need to get rid of the tolerations so you can
have the room and the nutrients and the self-care to thrive and
grow. In the same way that you let the bigger, stronger plants
stay, concentrate on your strengths and let them grow.
2. If you keep doing what you've been doing you're going to keep
getting what you've been getting.
There's a place in my garden that just needed a rose bush. I
planted 5 there. It's like a blackhole. I went on to try other
plants. Whatever I plant (read full article) |

| Article Title :: 7 Organizing Ideas for New Mothers |
| |
|
1. Organize your home before the baby arrives. Dealing with a
new baby takes enough energy without having to sort through
clutter. Start early! Many a baby has arrived much earlier than
expected.
2. Buy a diaper bag with several compartments and keep it
stocked with: blanket, extra outfit, diapers, wipes, ointment,
snacks for Mom and feeding supplies.
3. Place containers filled with diapers, wipes and ointment
around the house. You won't want to walk to the nursery every
time your newborn needs to be changed.
4. Have a baby memory book, a baby how-to book and a notebook
ready and accessible. You can fill in, find out and make notes
whenever you have a spare minute.
5. Plan on relaxing y (read full article) |

| Article Title :: THE FEMINIST DEBATE: MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS |
| |
|
When ecologically-minded feminists debate their menstrual
product options, they most often advocate using organic cotton
tampons and pads, rather than those made from synthetic
materials like rayon. The reason most of these women choose the
organic cotton versions centers around the fact that the
synthetics have been linked to potential health hazards, such as
Toxic Shock Syndrome and dioxin exposure.
One option that is often left out of such discussions (as well
as media programs and articles) is reusable menstrual products.
The truth is, before tampons and throwaway menstrual pads came
on the market in the 1930s, women used rags, which were kind to
the environment because they were wash (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Pure Truth About `All Natural' Products & Other Beauty Myths |
| |
|
Myth: "All Natural" Beauty Products Are Best
Pure Truth: First of all, there are not really any ‘all natural’
products available for commercial sale. Unless you make them
yourself, and are prepared to refrigerate them & use them within
a few days, you really can’t find any. This is because, just as
in food products, the ingredients are perishable.
Just think what would happen to a jar of ’natural’ ingredients
sitting on your vanity... The smell alone would keep me from
opening the lid, let alone touching it! So beauty products, like
foods, use preservatives to give them added shelf time. When you
buy products, they have to last through storage with the
company, shipping and sti (read full article) |

You are standing in the bedroom, looking at someone you thought
you knew. All of a sudden, you see your mother, or your father.
You hear their words coming out of someone else's mouth. They
trigger old reactions, based on potent relationship dynamics
that have no business in your bedroom or in your current
relationship. Yet, it is wonderful that such old triggers are
stimulated. Why? Because anything that a new relationship
triggers based on an old one, mirrors to us a part of ourselve
we lost or suppressed in the old relationship.
Even harder to deal with is when this loving, sweet person we
married or chose intimacy with....the one that's nothing like
us.....speaks out our own dark si (read full article) |
