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 »
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).

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.
Marjoram plants are available in garden centers or supermarkets from springtime on. Repot the marjoram into a bigger pot to give it more space to grow (the pots you can buy them in are usually too small). If there is more than one plant, plant them separately into several pots, which also allows you to experiment with different locations.
Here’s the recipe of my fav face mask – the mud mask:

Amaranth is mainly available in two different versions: as whole grain or as puffed/popped amaranth. The amaranth grains usually cost less than half than the puffed ones, and it is insanely easy to pop the grains yourself at home in just a few minutes.
Here’s how it works:
