Are Tampons Toxic?
You’ve probably seen the uproar on the news or social media about the presence of lead in tampons. A study conducted by researchers at UC Berkeley found that tampons from several brands may contain toxic metals like arsenic, cadmium, and lead.
Tampons are particularly concerning when it comes to exposure to these toxins because the skin of the vagina is more sensitive to chemical absorption than anywhere else on the body.

Tips for Thrifting
Thrifting is one of the most sustainable ways to shop for clothes. It gives unwanted garments a new life and prevents us from buying new pieces, which saves natural resources and reduces our environmental footprint.
However, thrifting, and especially finding good-quality pieces, can be challenging when we are not used to it. Sorting through racks of clothes of various styles and sizes is time-consuming, and we often need to do a lot of digging to find things that we love and that fit well.
We can also easily fall into the trap of overconsumption and end up with ..read more

Italian Sweatshops and Luxury Goods
Italy makes up 50-55% of the luxury fashion production. Behind all the glitz and glamor lies a darker secret. Recent investigations have uncovered that prestigious luxury brands, including Dior and Armani, have been implicated in labor exploitation practices. Several other high-end labels have similarly been brought under the microscope, with many eyes keeping a close watch on their supply chains and labor practices. With the luxury fashion economy already in a shaky position, this has come at a precarious time for the sector.
