How to Travel on a Budget

*Collaborative Post

Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer.” It’s an old quote but it’s a good one, the benefits of travelling and experiencing new places are almost endless. Whether you’re relaxing on a beach or exploring new cities, a break from the routine helps us refresh and reset. No matter how fulfilling our lives are, doing something different every so often is vital to prevent fatigue setting in. Experiencing new cultures and new ways of living helps us learn not just about the world, but about ourselves. Stepping through historic streets or immersing ourselves in modern wonders helps bring life to the stories we’re told about them.

Reusable Period Product Options for Your Tween or Teen

*Contains affiliate links

When the time comes for your tween or teen to begin their period you understandably want to be prepared for them but with so many period product options out there it can be a little confusing knowing what to opt for. With younger people being far more eco-conscious than previous generations choosing reusables for their period is the best step you can take. Not only will you be helping to protect their future by helping to protect our environment but you will also be helping their vaginal health too. It’s no secret that disposable period products are in fact classed as single-use plastic but did you know that most also contain chemicals and perfumes that can wreak havoc with your pH balance, your skin and how heavy your flow is. Yes, of course, there are now “eco” disposables available but how eco these are is yet to be seen really. They will still be thrown away, won’t they?! So for me, it is reusables that come out top each and every time. Let’s see which reusable period product options there are for your tween or teen.
