๐World Car Free Day was originally an initiative to reduce car use, as large-scale car use is causing damage to the environment. The day is a call to citizens to give up this means of transport for a day and try new ways of getting around.
So don't forget tomorrow! ๐ดโโ๏ธ

The danger of menstrual products! โฃ๐
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM OF MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS & CAN WE GO #PlasticFreeJuly WITH OUR PERIODS?
Plastic-free menstrual products can have each of us saving 16,000 single-use period items in our lifetime. Itโs quite scary the fact that 45 billion menstrual products are disposed of every year all over the world โ
Now, before we dig into the different brands, WE ACTUALLY NEED TO TALK โผ๐
About the fact that the global feminine hygiene products market generates $28.7 Billion.
Not surprisingly this money goes to 8 companies โ Led By Men ๐ Between them, you will find Kimberly-Clark, Procter & Gamble, Edgewell personal care, SCA Care of life, Lil-lets, Johnson & Johnson. Not good โ These companies are run by people who do not use menstrual products, they were made to make business instead of looking after what was healthy for us.
What are these dangerous components of menstruation pads and tampons?
๐ฒ Dioxin: a chemical used to whiten the fibers, potentially carcinogenic and toxic.
๐ฅต Rayon: a very absorbed synthetic finer that favors the accumulation of dioxin
๐ค Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCโs): organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary room temperature (quick note, VOCโs and phthalates are also found in commercial diapers).
๐ญ Phthalates: a phthalic acid mainly used as plasticizers, for example, substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity.
Turns out that opting for brands that will get you into the plastic-free periodsโ lifestyle is also much better for your health. But we have a choice now, and it comes in the form of menstrual cups, period-proof underwear and tampons that are more planet-friendly.
Some of our favourite brands:
Ruby Cup
OrganiCup
Mooncup
WUKA
Modibodi
Thinx
FLUX Undies
Dear Kate

Yogis seem to happy, and there is a kind of addiction that comes with the yoga practice โจ
If you have ever practised yoga before you will probably understand what I mean. But where does that happiness come from? What is the connection we establish with yoga and our happiness?
We take you through a very simple exercise and give you some ideas that you can think about how to become less emotionally dependent and let all the good emerge - from, to & within you! Would you like to try how it feels?
