Recently, we’ve heard a lot about the Covid vaccine and potential risks of blood clots. In response, people have been talking about the blood clot risk related to the contraceptive pill and how this isn’t talked about very much.

Nutella is one of my favourite foods. I love pairing it with peanut butter and apple slices as a pudding or a snack, which is basically what I would have most afternoons when I came home from school (when I was still in school).

In a perfect world, I would be zero waste all the time, but particularly in a pandemic that is very difficult. So, this week, IContinue reading “Things I don’t do Zero Waste”
