Welcome to my Hazy Meadow

How organic can you go really? I like the idea of an organic cotton tampon for many reasons. Did you know that our internal tissues are great at absorbing and carrying chemicals throughout the body.   Your vulvar tissue is already a very sensitive part of the body, and any synthetic and potentially irritant material can lead to discomfort, rashes, and other irritation as a result of the close skin contact.   Some tampons contain chemical fragrances and   many conventional tampons contain traces of the chemical  dioxin, which is   a known endocrine disruptor that can cause issues with your hormones. They don’t just create imbalances, they also exacerbate fertility issues, thyroid conditions, PCOS, hormonal and cystic acne, thyroid conditions, endometriosis, and even some forms of cancer . The idea of having toxic chemicals in such a sensitive area is scary. Guess what guys! They cost the same as the non-organic tampons too so it will not cost you more to switch over. I decided to m

Today I worked on one of my regular clients. We usually do barrel twist on him (2 strand twists), but today since he is going away to college I decided to switch it up a bit and do 3 strand twists. Yes, yes I know its still twists, but that's why I said switch it up a bit. He is not very flashy and he likes to keep it simple with his hair. None the less I fell in love with this method of twisting and I will be doing it more often. The twists created a nice amount of volume so the style didn't have that spacey look that sometimes comes along with a re-twist. Another plus is that there were less twists so it took a little less time to do. He usually will wear the twists for a couple weeks, then take them loose to wear it free for a couple weeks and then we meet again for another re-twist in about a months time. The process of doing these twists were way easier than I expected and can be done on any hair not just locs. If I can do it I am sure you can do this on your own or so

 So today I made a DIY tomato plants in planter. The tomato comes out the bottom and grows upside down. But is not just a conventional looking tomato plants here I actually re-purposed a reusable grocery shopping bag and turned it into a planter. I guarantee this is very easy to do and very functional. Try it out and let me know how it goes. Materials  1 Breathable bag (i used a reusable shopping bag) Soil of choice make sure that you have plenty of perlite to help with drainage Tomato plant (needs to be big enough to go in its final container) Cut an 1.5” wide hole in the center of the bottom of the bag Cut up the side of the bag starting from one side of the hole in the bottom. Wrap the bag around the pot that the tomato plant is in Get a needle and thread (I used a yarn needle and 100% cotton string) and stitch the bag up along the side that was cut 08/01/2019 UPDATE: The tomato planter is still functioning and has not torn up a bit.
