Mia Cup /Diva Cup Review

September 30, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 4 Comments

cup closeup“Despite all the  progress that’s been made since the early 1900s, little about tampons or sanitary pads has really changed since they were first introduced almost one hundred years ago. Miacup is a modern, liberating way to deal with menstrual hygiene and one that solves many of the problems associated with traditional, antiquated methods.” – excerpt from Miacup Website

Unable to test this beauty out myself I passed it onto a fellow female friend who had this to say about her experience with Miacup.

Miacup Pros

* Pretty neat & compact

* Easy to insert

* Wears comfortably

* Easy to clean

* Great for overnight

* Comfortable During Sport

* Loves the cute storage bag that Miacup comes in.

* Money saved can be spent on other things.

* Less landfill waste

* No flushing sanitary items down toilets etc ( not that she does but there are people out there who STILL flush tsk tsk )

Miacup Cons

* I wouldn’t use it on my heaviest day if I was out and about as it is not the most discreet thing to clean in a public toilet. ( my solution to that is to but 2 or 3 cups and carry a spare, put used Miacup in a          plastic bag, seal it, then pop in storage bag. OR don’t wash it, you don’t have to wash it every time )

* Needs lubricant on very light days.

* Can be daunting to insert at first ( don’t let that stop you, remember the first time you tried a tampon – now that is daunting )

    I have a Moon Cup (which is almost identical) and it’s brilliant. I can heartily recommend them to anyone, even those with extremely heavy flows. 🙂

DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
