Ring sling

I was going to share this post as one DIY project, but it is actually also a zero waste project because I finally used a bedsheet fabric.

In perfect shape, just unused because the color didn’t fit anymore with our bedroom.

So I am happy to finally have sew my own “handmade-upcycled” ring sling ?

I’ve just need 2×2 meters of fabric. Fold it and sew it inside out, leaving one of the edges free to turn the fabric. Add the rings and sew this edge to the rest of the fabric

That’s all, just 4 linear seams.

I am still learning to use it and wrap the baby perfectly with this type of sling but I like it so much because I can carry my baby on the side.

You can find a lot of tutorials, but you mainly need to pay attention to these points :

-Close enough to kiss

-Rings high: corsage position,

-knees higher than the bum

-Don’t twist the fabric

Can’t wait to train myself every day to carry her!

Charcoal face mask

Charcoal face mask

Today I am sharing my charcoal face mask.

It’s been a long time since the last post! I’ve been super busy mono-parenting and I took a break of social media (sort of).

That means not much time for funny projects, but I wanted to share an easy DIY, a home-made face mask.

Charcoal face mask

Aloe vera gel

I’ve just needed three ingredients: water, charcoal and aloe vera gel, mix them and that’s all! Clean after ten minutes and my skin was super soft.

Charcoal

That’s fun because I am currently using the aloe vera gel for many things: for this mask, but also to fix my eyebrows, as an eyelash growth serum, and I found a great DIY spray for hair, I’ll share it here soon!

Hope you like it xX

160 g of beggar (mixed nuts)

30 g of golden flax seeds

50 g of brown sugar

80 g of honey

Chop the almonds and the hazelnuts, mix the ingredients and oven 125°C /25minutes

I’ve just use the baking tray and cut the bars after, but also love it mixed with yogurt and fruits

You know, zero nasty ingredients, and zero waste (and so yummy).

But it is really a thing,and it works! You can make your own #zerowaste dry shampoo,with ingredients that you probably already have at home!

Banana oat strawberry smoothie

Banana oat strawberry smoothie: Let’s say that summer is not finished yet and prepare a yummy #milkshake to celebrate the sunny days.

I’ve just found this recipe and we all loved this #smoothie, no tricky ingredients and so delicious.

-Some strawberries (I always freeze some strawberries when they are in season so we can enjoy them a little longer).

-1 banana (same for bananas, when they are about to ripen, I freeze them and they are perfect for smoothies, no waste!)

-A cup of oatmeal

-A cup of milk (“vegetal” or animal your choice)

-1 tsp of honey (our honey comes from our visit to the lavender fields-valensola-)

So good!  I love smoothies and milkshakes, these are really quick to make and it’s perfect for staying fresh and hydrated during the heatwave.

Milky way

Today is the last day of the “world breastfeeding week” #wbw
Is crazy how challenging is to share this kind of post, and how normal that should be. #normalizebreastfeeding
I usually always look for a quiet places if I need to breastfeed out of the house, basically because my daughter gets super distracted. But even if I never had problems with that, I don’t feel comfortable breastfeeding in public and no mother should feel this way.
Any other breastfeeding mom’s feeling this way?
