This is a tough time for many people. At the moment in my country there are 7918 confirmed infections and 314 deaths.
Remember to always make your health a priority.
I want to share with you some less waste tips that may help you these days.
Let’s start with masks - they are not difficult to sew at home (or even make without sewing!) and it is obvious that having a reusable one is better than using lots of disposable ones. After use you can disinfect it with boiling water or just put it into laundry ;) I recommend you having a few face masks.
Hand sanitizer - the world went crazy about it. Try making it yourself, it is easy! Ingredients:
12 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol
5 tablespoons of aloe vera and 3 tablespoons of glycerin which will prevent your skin from drying out and provide extra protection
You can also add some drops of essential oil;)
Most of people started to care about cleaning much more due to the pandemic. Using homemade cleaning products is a goal that I still have not achieved yet. If you feel ready to start using them, go for it, look for the recipes (for example on pinterest) and make your own natural cleaning supplies!
I know that gloves are required to be worn now, but to be honest I do not believe that using disposable gloves will save us and from my point of view we are just making a huge waste with this plastic or rubber accessories. But…
please,wash your hands after touching any questionable surface. It is crucial to keep you and others save.
If you are storing food, remember that using aluminium or metal cans is probably a better choice than choosing plastic or glass due to recycling. Of course you can reuse most of packaging. But again, make yourself comfortable and buy what you need to survive.
Buy fruit and vegetables that stay fresh for a long time as: apples, potatoes and sweet potatoes, onions, garlic, apples, carrots, celery, lemons, beetroots, cabbages, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower. You can also freeze fruits, I often freeze my bananas ;)
Grow your own food and make your own bread, cookies, muesli, pasta etc. ;)
I hope you’re doing great and have everything you need. I wish you good heath! Greetings!
I don’t often paint my nails… So it amused me the other morning when, having randomly decided to varnish them the night before, I woke up to discover that someone had changed the soap to the exact same shade as my new nail polish, entirely coincidentally.
A gemellion, or washing basin, from 1250-1275. Gemellions such as this one would have been used for washing hands either during mass or before or after eating. The word gemellion comes from the Latin word for twin, gemellus, because gemellions were always made in pairs. The top one, which would have a spout on one side, would be filled with water, often scented with herbs and spices. The water would then flow out of the spout over a person’s hands and be caught in the second basin below.
Since many of our female followers seem to be concerned about the way they smell, I did some research on how to wash the vagina properly. I found this website to be very good. With one exception: They recommend using soap, but i would advise against doing so. For more information on that check out this website.I hope this was helpful :)
