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
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

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.
