Natural Fabrics Are Still With Us

"Once upon a time when a woman went shopping, she was sure to come home with clothing and household furnishings made of cotton, linen, silk, or wool."


Today's post is about Man Made fabrics vs Natural Fabrics.

Today you might even see terms like "organic" fabric.

Organic fabrics are made from cotton, bamboo, hemp, or other sustainable textiles.
These clothes might even be called "Vegan" if they are contain no animal products like feathers, wools, fur, or silk.
Vegan fabrics can be synthetic so it isn't always Organic.

I seriously do not know how we as a collective society got to this point.
We are choosing what type of clothing to wear based on how the source was treated.

This is one of the worst cases of our privilege.
How much brain power do some people waste on this?

It is so annoying that I don't even want to write about it.

Our Almanac goes into a lot of detail about these different things.

I. CAN'T. EVEN.

Maybe I would give a darn if I had a medical condition that I needed to only wear natural clothing.

I mean they seriously made paper out of elephant poop.

If you do not believe me here is the link!

My favorite part of this entire website is that they are promoting it as good for the earth but I'm sure that with delivery, the packaging and fuel used to get it to you isn't made of poop.

Dear God,
You can shop for products by what animal poop it is made of.

These sheep are not standing around their own wool fabric here.


This sheep has seen it all.
Humans straight up made something out his poop and is mad he didn't think of the idea first.

19 March 2018 - Why Woodn't You

Try Putting Up Wallboard? Why Not? "In the spring one tends to think about the sprucing up the home." In the 70's wood paneling was all the rage. Wallboard or as it commonly called today - Decorative Paneling. There are some seriously cute panelings out there today. Typically, when you think of wall paneling, you think of wooden paneling. I have some in my living room and it is very dated. It's so dark that is great for movie nights but mostly it just feels like a room that is sucking the light from your house. I found an article from Houzz that has some modern looks for us in the year 2018. So if you decide to go the way of decorative paneling, please steer clear of the basic stuff, and go for a nice chic modern look!

5 February 2018 - The Christmas Star

Store Poinsettia Soon Did you get one of these flowers for Christmas? If so and you haven't thrown it away or killed it, it is soon time to do something else with it. This Almanac entry is about taking care of that red plant. I don't garden. Let me clarify I can garden. I choose not to. Once upon a time I had a vegetable garden and it was amazing. The best tomatoes, organic produce, crazy long green beans, and some fresh basil. Now when a weed came and destroyed everything and all my hard work was gone I just put my gloves and shovel down exclaiming "I QUIT!" .... If you care to keep your plant around for next Christmas you can follow these instructions here. .... URBAN LEGENDS Now there is a myth that the plant is toxic. There is an urban legend that states a child died from eating the leaves of the plant.  In truth the poinsettia isn't toxic enough to kill a person. Eating it can cause an ...

20 May 2018 - A History of Child Safety Seats

Keeping Child Safe While Traveling by Car "You know that the use of seat belts is specified at certain times when you travel by plane, and constantly in a car. But have you heard that ordinary seat belts in a car are often bad for children?" It's 2018. Let me just preface this blog post with this: We have come a long way in child safety seating. In the 1930's, child booster seats were being made but not for safety reasons. They were made so that the adult could see the child easier while driving. It looked a little horrifyingly like this. And also if you ever needed to fly with your baby, they made some great ways for you to store your baby with your overhead luggage. It wasn't until 1962 that child seats were being made with the purpose of protecting children in a car. Models like those were not mandatory though. So you could still find boosters similar to those in the 30's for you kiddos to sit in. Seat belts ...
