    • Huge congratulations to Jess and the team at @myhu Huge congratulations to Jess and the team at @myhumbleearth on the rebrand of their period undies!! Emflower 🌻 (get it, like 'empower'!) [PR sample/affiliate] I'm a huuuuuuge fan of period undies and have been using them for over 2 years now. Not only is plastic in period products super concerning (#EndPeriodPlastic @elladaish), but on average, we menstruators will dispose of over 11,000 disposable pads and tampons our lifetimes. That's a LOT of single-use plastic waste and a lot of money spent on period products. The answer is to try out the alternatives: cups, undies, and organic products. These alternatives aren't a rare occurrence anymore is Aus (yay) and are arguably more convenient than your average pad or tampon 👌🏼 A pleasure to have supported this local Perth biz @myhumbleearth over the past few years in their mission to reduce single-use plastic. I've been testing out their undies over the past few months and am happy to report back that they measure up to other popular brands I've tried. So, if you want the peace of mind plus supporting small and local (and vegan friendly!), check them out @emflower.co 🌻 Use 'MOLLY' at checkout for 15% off while they're still available on @myhumbleearth 🌏💙
    Last night’s supermoon and some moon history for Last night’s supermoon and some moon history for you 🌝👇 All around the world, there are stories about and names for the moon and its cycles. While the Gregorian calendar months are mainly used to mark the moon today (e.g. the April full moon), many cultures used to (and still do) label a cycle of 12 to 13 lunations around the weather, seasons, activities, plants and/or animals of that particular moon cycle. Link to a NASA article in my bio if you want to know more about different cultures, not just the Northern Hem. & the West. The Pink Moon, from what I know (which isn’t much – still learning), was published in the Farmer’s Almanac, a North American periodical which shared both Native American and Colonial American moon names, many coming also from European tradition. The Pink Moon is named after the wild phlox, a pink flower of this time of year in North America. So, while the current moon cycle in the North/West is the Pink Moon/Seed Moon/Egg Moon and so forth, depending on the culture, it feels disconnected to use these names in Australia at the moment (and maybe even year round), where the seasons we experience are not only different to Europe and North America, but vary even throughout the country. In Southern Hemisphere Pagan/Celtic communities (which I am actually familiar with), it’s common to flip the cycles around and use the moon names for the opposite time of year, just like how our seasons are seemingly opposite. So, this current lunation becomes the Hunter’s Moon/Blood Moon/Harvest Moon or many more depending on the culture. As somebody who lives on Noongar Boodja, vastly different to Ireland, I’m still finding it difficult to reconcile my own cultural practices with Country and the activities and environment of this region during this time of year. Is it still the Ivy Moon if all of the ivy is introduced? Is it still the Harvest Moon if it is Djeran, not ‘harvest season’? I don’t have the answers, but remembering where language comes from is important, and I think it’s worth putting the question out there.
    Yesterday's misty morning in the South West 🌞 Yesterday's misty morning in the South West 🌞 This weekend was our first adventure in what feels like a very, very long time but it certainly didn't feel like an escape. With a lockdown announced back home as we were arriving at our destination, it became the most unexpected weekend but we did our best to remember that it was a trip with purpose! So happy that we could be there to see our friends finally get married in the most enchanting patch of Jarrah forest 🦘 A timely reminder that love is always the answer ✨💚
    24th April – Fashion Revolution Day. On this da 24th April – Fashion Revolution Day. On this day in 2013, the Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh collapsed. The building housed a number of garment factories making clothes for fast fashion brands. 1134 people were killed. Over 2500 people were injured. This wasn’t the first case of unsafe working conditions in fashion, and wasn’t the last. Modern slavery in the fashion industry exists — it exists all over the world and it exists in Australia. Over the years since, I’ve seen so much change. Thanks to the grassroots work, brands are listening. But not nearly as well as they should be. If you’re not sure where to start to help the cause, know that by reducing the amount you buy in the first place, you will be reducing the amount you support injustice and exploitation in fashion. The next steps: 👉 Change who you buy from. Support ethical makers. 👉 Advocate for change. Send an email to the brands you love asking #WhoMadeMyClothes? More tips on my second last post and over on @wa.ethicalcollective. Let’s fight for a safer world, for all. #FashionRevolutionDay

    It's #FashRev week. And you know what that means: It's #FashRev week. And you know what that means: learning! 🌿 I can't believe it's the 8th Fashion Revolution Week and it really just feels so bittersweet. Bitter that we need a revolution in the first place. That so many people and animals have suffered and died for fashion. That fashion is causing so much harm to our environment and ecosystems. But it's lovely and sweet that there are literally thousands of humans who care enough, all over the world, to join in the fight for industry, cultural, and policy change. I've seen the change with my own eyes over the past few years. We've got a long way to go but it IS catching on 🌸 Anyway, swipe for my responsible fashion checklist for this week and every week, along with some resources for you all! Happy absorbing ☺️💚 P.S.
