I’ve cut my menstrual cup’s ring! And it feels much better now ;) I’ve had an continuous feel of it poking me and it was irritating my vagina, now I can’t feel it at all ;)
I wanted to wait with cutting the stim utill I get comfortable with inserting and pulling out my cup. I adapted to this quickly ;)
I’m also considering buying a bit smaller cup, but for now this one is okay.
I upcycled a wooden crate using paints that I don’t use anymore and old bubble wrap (I couldn’t find another foil). I put some potting soil inside it and planted some seeds… now I’m looking forward to planting lots of herbs inside my house! Okay, I’m joking, for now it is just a basil ;)
My motivation? I got really irritated with buying basil spice in paper bags every month… you know the small bags you can find in (I guees) every shop. I’ve also seen same looking basil being sold in plastic bottles (similar to ketchup bottles), what’s wrong with people? Anyway, I’m a person who uses a lot of basil while cooking and I’ve finally decided I want to grow it myself. But I have a large garden so why did I plant it in a crate? I wanted to check how it is to plant food inside ;)
By the way, I mentioned a bubble wrap. If you obtain it somehow, don’t throw it out! Always try to reuse bubble wrap, I always collect it and if I have to I use it to pack another package ;) Here are some ideas what you can do with bubble wrap:
Use it to cover wooden crate similar to mine and make your own potting crate ;)
You can use it for window isolation (it is useful especially in winter)
Simply use it to secure what you need
Make a frottage! Cover the wrap with paint and make a stamp
Or use it in a collage! (maybe it won’t save the planet but it’s fun…)
Make some beads! I’m absolutely amazed by the idea!
Of course pre-owned from someone who didn’t want to keep it. My pyjama is completely worn out and I became to hate sleeping wearing it. And the second onesie is used by me as party costume, I rarely sleep in it.
I doubt if I’ll become a minimalist someday. Or a true zero waster. But I swear I’m trying to live more sustainably and I’m doing best I can do.
At this point in my life I’m in continuous confusion and I must face many stressful events in the next few months. More and more often I feel anxious and alone with problems. Sometimes I even feel suicidal.
