Lunapads Blog

As most stories start:

I was born and raised in North Vancouver, and with a few very short exceptions have lived in Vancouver all my life.

I’m a “directionless” student, much to the chagrin of my Academic Advisor, and have spent the past two years taking a slew of courses (everything from Sociology and Religions Studies, to Human Geography….even Business!) and have savored every minute of it.  If I could get away with it, I’d probably just stay in University until it’s time to retire.

I live in a little house with a little garden and the perfect baby and husband.  My life outside of work/school is focused on raising my daughter, gardening, reading, and learning to sew.

I love horror movies, good old fashioned rock &roll, cupcakes..and long walks on the beach (I’m joking…).

Hello out there! I am new to this world of blogging, but excited to be here, and honoured that you are reading this! I am the newest Lunagal to join the gang, and boy am I ever pumped to be a part of the team. I am a compassionate vegan and ecoholic who cares about animal rights and the future of our environment. I was drawn to Lunapads for the eco-aspect in embracing my monthly rendez-vous, and have been a fan of Lunapads for a couple of years now. I found Lunapads after a quest of searching for alternative menstrual products. Traditional disposable menstrual products all of a sudden became appalling to me after a beach clean up along the shores of the St. Lawrence in Quebec where the majority of the litter I came across was no other than tampons applicators. I kid you not! They were everywhere, in the sand, under rocks, intertwined with seaweed, crunching under my shoes… Not at all a pretty sight (or sound). That experience immediately put into perspective the impact that we have as women on the environment.
