Knitivisea for the underwater festive season

December 10, 2017

Well, the weather outside may be frightful, but knitting is so delightful! Over the last few weeks, I have embarked on a crafting adventure to ring in the holiday season. Building on my new-found obsession for the underwater world (via diving and Blue Planet II), I set about knitting a underwater nativity scene, or a … More Knitivisea for the underwater festive season

Zero-waste adventures in the toilet

September 27, 2017

My zero-waste journey took an interesting turn lately – one which may make some rather uncomfortable. So to get you in the mood to discuss poop, here is Amy Schumer. There. Now that you are thinking about your fudge-machine, let’s think about one of the rarely questioned aspects of modern life: the roll of toilet … More Zero-waste adventures in the toilet

Homemade… mascara?

February 6, 2017

I had never even considered that I could make my own mascara, but as I was wandering the aimless halls of the internet, I saw someone talk about making mascara from almonds. The entire thought process for me was – I have almonds. I should make a batch. So, that is what I did. It … More Homemade… mascara?

Zero(ish) waste check-in

December 6, 2016

Time for a check-in about how my attempts to reduce waste went during my time in Stockholm. As I mentioned in my intro blog post, my 3-month stint in Sweden seemed like the perfect opportunity to test out this way of life. This grand experiment had  a lot of challenges but also several triumphs. Challenges: Guests and … More Zero(ish) waste check-in

Be a Deer, and pass me the Soap

November 16, 2016

Originally posted on Wonderful Wanderings:
Deer season has come and gone.  I spent some quality time sitting in a tree. Waiting. Sitting. Hoping. Fidgeting. Although no deer ambled my way, it was still not a bad place to spend some time. ? Luckily another fella got a doe, so I still will end up with yummy…

Shopping ban: 5-month check-in

November 7, 2016

It’s official. I have fallen off the shopping ban(d) wagon. It started small, with this justifiable purchase of neon socks, as I had showed up in Stockholm following months of sockless summer life with not enough foot coverings to last through a week or two. But, things have escalated a little bit from there. I have … More Shopping ban: 5-month check-in

Zero(ish)-waste life: Next 3-month challenge

August 24, 2016

Because it is not enough to be hopping over to another country for a few months whilst trying to power through some research for my PhD, I have decided to add another challenge to the mix. Over a year ago, my sister threw down a challenge for me to try to live garbage free for … More Zero(ish)-waste life: Next 3-month challenge

Enjoying the wild in my garden

April 20, 2016

This has been a very exciting week in my life. In my approx 6 months in this flat, I have not *yet* established myself as the neighbourhood weirdo. Rest assured, however, that I am taking the appropriate steps to ensure that designation is forthcoming. When I got home from Stockholm, I was greeted by a very … More Enjoying the wild in my garden

Essential oil roller-balls

March 18, 2016

According to my flatmate, I need an old-timey chemistry lab to support my brewing and mixing of my various potions and lotions. It seems that I have many of the habits of an apothecary, making pots and bottles of mixtures to rub on the skin, inhale, or soak in. I was really excited for this most … More Essential oil roller-balls

Tried and true DIY beauty products

February 14, 2016

Drug stores have always been dangerous places for me. I will walk in for a toothbrush and out with a new moisturizer, hair treatment, and bath product, completely forgetting the reason why I went in the first place. Two moves ago, I acknowledged I had an addiction, as I had a literal tower of beauty … More Tried and true DIY beauty products
