Zero Waste

What happens at this level after pregnancy, childbirth, lochia and a capricious return of childbirth? It’s because my little feminine balance has been a bit disrupted in recent months. Well ok it was for a good cause I grant you, but I had to relearn how to function with my new body, its new menstrual habits and find new solutions. This is what this article will be about, without filters, because there is nothing taboo about it. Periods have been around since the dawn of time, it's not dirty and half of adult humans experience them. So that's enough of this hypocrisy and secrecy around one of the most natural things that exists. As a reminder of previous episodes, before my pregnancy, I had nothing really specific to mention at this level: very regular periods, over a period of 4 ...

To start the year off right, there's nothing like making a short list of simple things to replace with healthy, zero-waste options in order to make 2018 an eco-friendly year, without endocrine disruptors. To return to the definition: endocrine disruptors (ED) are “chemical substances of natural or artificial origin foreign to the organism which can interfere with the functioning of the endocrine system and thus induce deleterious effects on this organism or on its descendants” . Basically, these substances will create major hormonal problems in adults and pregnant women (decreased fertility, cancers, nervous system of the affected fetus, etc.) but also in children who are also highly exposed to them (early puberty, allergies. ..). What really fears is the cocktail effect and mixtures...

Yes, zero waste affects all aspects of life! So we're going to talk without filters, without taboos and a little muy caliente today... Why all of a sudden do I want to talk about sexuality here?

Well yes, what a good question in the end! Well quite simply I replaced my paper towel/handkerchief with a washable fabric handkerchief which goes into the laundry bin directly afterwards. I have several planned for this purpose and it works perfectly. So just to give a little context to my st...

In almost 3 years of living a zero waste lifestyle, I have had time to see my definition of the term “zero waste” evolve. Indeed, if I embarked on this change of life, it was mainly to reduce my waste and my environmental impact linked to my trash. In the end today I realize that the word zero waste means so much more, it is much broader than simply being interested in your trash and what it contains. Be careful, I'm not saying that it's bad to only be interested in your trash, because in the end everything starts more or less with that and it's already HUGE! I'm simply saying that as my zero waste journey progressed, I expanded on the definition I had of my lifestyle. Moreover, at the start of each of my conferences, I like to clarify what zero waste is for me in order to make it cl...
