Everyone lately wants organic this and organic that. Food, clothing, baby products, toys. The most important one of those is food, because we actually put it IN our bodies.
So when I heard about TrueMoon, organic tampons, I thought Right, why am I not using organic tampons? That’s something I put IN my body too!
I guess I was just a creature of habit – buying the same old thing I had for years, and never thought about it. Plus when I’m standing there in the aisle choosing a tampon, there aren’t any organic options like there is when you grocery shop. Organic tampons aren’t offered at stores like Target or your local drug store. Why is that? I don’t know. And apparently the question is being asked by others because I found this article on the very subject.
For some people, talking about tampons and periods and (and oh gosh, please don’t use the the word menstruating!) can be an embarrassing thing. But that is one of the very things that TrueMoon wants to change. They want women to be proud of their cycles. It’s part of what makes us women! It’s how we are able to create a new life, a full new human being, inside of us! How cool is that?
And, for young girls getting their first period, it’s key that they see it that way, rather than some dreaded, embarrassing thing. It should be empowering.
You can buy TrueMoon organic tampons here on Amazon and hopefully someday in every aisle of tampons you shop.
Here’s a video the founders of TrueMoon made on why organic tampons are important for women:
And here’s a funny video they made on how ridiculous it is for women (or men) to be embarrassed by one of the very fundamental things that makes them a woman:
I’m not choosing a party. I’m not choosing a candidate. I’m not voting today.
I’m just saying I read this article about the Rubio’s and it made me smile. I love a family that works well as a team and has a loving and positive attitude.
Don’t believe everything you read, right?
I’m not saying that everything in this article is truth. It might not be at all. I could find out next month that all of this is bogus and there is crime, infidelity and an underground drug run going on within this family. But I’d like to think not. I’d like to think what I read was true.
As for a fun, productive, positive, loving family – they definitely have my vote.
I introduced the game of ‘Simon Says’ to Max recently. He got a kick out of it. The next time I wanted to play again he said “No. I’ll do it.” So HE was telling ME what to do, “Simon says touch your nose!”
Of course I played along. I was thrilled he caught on so quickly and you know (gee, I may be biased here, *ahem*) showing leadership skills at the age of 2.
Then we switched it up and I got to be the leader again.
ME: “Simon says JUMP!”
Max jumps!
ME: “Simon says touch your head!”
Max touches his head
ME: “Simon says say cock-a-doodle-doo!”
Max: He shook his head and said, “No. I’m not chicken.”
I have a story to tell you. A really, really long story. But I’m not ready to tell it yet.
Some day.
And it will explain my long hiatus from blogging.
For now, check out my feeble attempt at grabbing snapshots of my two favorite people – who never sit still – and are growing so fast!
Everyone is now entitled to marry their love and make it last forever (or end up divorced) in California.
The first gay pride parade was in the 70’s. We’ve come a long way. Man’s small steps down the aisle – but a giant leap for mankind. Thank you, California. Finally.
