Easiest Cashew Milk Recipe Ever
My personal fav of all homemade plant milks is by far the cashew drink: it is super fast and super easy to make and it even tastes like real milk in your coffee.
The good news is, that you do not have to filter out the nuts after blending! The recipe really involves very few steps and kitchenware – only the soaking of the cashews takes a bit of time.Read More »

Self Herb: How to Cultivate Your Own Basil at Home
How many times did I buy a pot of basil for my kitchen at the farmers market, rather than just getting a few bunches – hoping I could harvest my little plant whenever I need basil for cooking (sustainability!!…plus it looks so nice and chefy to have a basil plant on your window sill <3).

No Poo // Water Only: the First Three Months
During this year’s Lent period I decided to give up shampoo – and kept going beyond Easter.
My No Poo / Water Only adventure started when I was searching for some zero waste alternatives for my regular shampoo that comes in a plastic bottle. Since I really don’t like soap (looks ugly in the bathroom and is pretty inconvenient for travel), and creating my DIY-shampoo with stuff I don’t know how it will affect my hair (baking soda? lemon? nope.) didn’t seem like a good alternative for me either. The combination of me not being a chemist and being somewhat lazy lead me to the ultimate No Poo version: Water Only.
