"Green Festivals, a vegan/vegetarian event and longest running and largest sustainability-focused expo is ready to celebrate LA as one of the friendliest vegan cities in the nation!  This year our primary goal has been to help our attendees gain the tools they need to personally help mitigate climate change, which is why we have partnered with A.U.M Films/Cowspiracy for all cities in 2016.  On Friday September 16th we will be screening Cowspiracy followed by a Q and A from Co-Director Kip Andersen.  Donations for the screening will go back to helping the efforts of American Wild Horse Preservation and Rowdy Girl Sanctuary.  Factory Farming Awareness Coalition will also be joining LA in a presentation as well as John Lewis from Bad Ass Vegan; Ed Begley Jr., veteran vegan of 22 years will speak, Spork Foods will show us how easy it is to make great vegan cuisine.  Praised film Speciesism will make its debut on the Green Festivals circuit followed by a talk from Director Mark Devries.  Vegan Health & Fitness Magazine and Holistic Holiday at Sea will be onsite and internationally acclaimed musician Moby will address the audience with a testament to the plant based lifestyle."

Menstrual Cups and Sponges


Menstrual Cups Menstrual Sponges
 A 20 minute video below, but it covers 2 types of menstrual cups and sea sponges!

Times are below, if you would like to skip to a particular topic.
Beginning- Overview
1:20- Diva Cup
3:28- Moon Cup
7:45- Inserting the Cup
12:25- Sponges
14:15- Inserting the Sponge
16:05- Cautionary Tale :)

It's so important for women to share with other women, our daughters, sisters and friends about these types of topics. I hope this helps someone starting out and if you have been using cups and/or sponges and have some tips or your experience to share, please do so below!



Sea Sponges: Plant or Animal? Sea Sponges are technically classified as animals. However, they do not have brains, central nervous, circulatory or digestive systems. In fact, they even survive and reproduce as other plants do. For these reasons, I am okay using sea sponges as a vegan. If this is something that you are not okay with, please do your research and decide for yourself.
Be sure to use sea sponges from a reputable source that harvest the sponges sustainably without harming the eco system.

Products from the video Diva Cup , Sea Sponges and special thanks to Glad Rags for introducing me to the Moon Cup!
