Women circles and so-called women's (empowerment) work keep circling back to my attention. It doesn't matter how hard I try to hide and stay small, the calling keeps coming up. The Feminine is rising and asks of me to rise with her. And what better way to rise than to…
I am so happy to see that reusable menstrual products are increasingly being celebrated! More and more good-hearted companies produce and sell menstruation cups, reusable period pads and period panties. I personally have been using these for many years. As I have noticed that reviews often come too soon, here…
Boom Festival 2018 was absolutely beautiful. It took place back in the summer, and I have been wanting to share one glorious thing. You're already seeing her: this gigantic and beautiful artwork of the Goddess. She was situated right next to the main stage. She's made out of wood, and…
