I called my sister this morning to tell her that Fucked Up Chick said, “Tampons from the dollar store sound scarier than the bear!”
My sister told me I wouldn’t have to worry about buying feminine hygeine products if I started using GladRags. I have a few more years of hiking before my full Granola transformation is complete. This will mean wearing Tevas with dresses, no long tweezing my eyebrows and giving up deoderant.
Luckily for those who are reguarly in contact with me, I’m not there yet.
Have you heard of the diva cup? Now THAT is when you will know that your granola conversion is complete.
You must keep the eyebrows in check. Are you insane????
I grew up really Granola, so now, of course, I have a regular job, wear make up and heels every weekday, and shave my legs and pits. I still have my environmentalist ideals, but growing up without running water sucks ass!
punchlinewalking,
I haven’t heard of the Diva Cup, but from the name I imagine it’s similar to the Instead Cup? Which by the way, did not work well for me. This probably solidifies my Granola status, huh? Is it OK to wear Tevas with a dress if it’s a cover up on the way to the beach?
apollocreed,
Anyone who’s spent more than five minutes here knows that I’m insane…but not insane enough to let the eyebrows go. At least not forever.
J. ,
WHOA! Did you really grow up without running water?! I want to hear more about your childhood!
I felt suddenly transported to Santa Cruz, CA with that visual you painted.
I’d love to see you in some furry (fake, of course) clogs and plaid, flannel pajama bottoms.
Thanks for introducing me to fucked up chick’s blog. She’s great!
I think that I can solve your tampon problem AND help you transform in to the granola you’ve always wanted to be… Grab some dried leaves or plant material. Crush them into a ball, and POOF! Your very own hand made tampons.
Granola tampons?
I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago and now I don’t have to worry about dollar store tampons. I suppose that isn’t the suggested route to take to save money, but it’s working for me. If only I had known you right after my surgery because I had boxes of them leftover that I was giving away to every friend who came over to visit. Like a party favor or something.
i recall in high school annoying my debate coach with my habit of wearing Birkenstocks with dresses to tournaments. It didn’t do me any lasting damage, and I still have those shoes – they last!
…and let’s not forget about no waxing/shaving the pegs or armpits either!
what is a GladRag?
