Well this is just amazing! Why couldn't I have invented this!?

Honestly... Where is my time wasting away to?

The Mooncup is a replacement for tampons and pads during the red flag days of the month. It's really good and loads of women have raved about it (facebook fan page).
It's such an improvement environmentally and of course saves you loads of money which is really all that matters.

The Mooncup® is the original silicone menstrual cup designed by women to be a convenient, safe and eco-friendly alternative to tampons and sanitary pads. Loved by women all around the world, and made in the UK by a multi-award winning ethical business, the Mooncup offers an end to the waste, discomfort and expense of disposable sanitary protection.

Safer: made from medical grade silicone, the Mooncup is latex-free and contains no dyes, toxins or bleaches. It’s also great for women with sensitive skin.

Greener: on average, one woman will use over 11,000 tampons or pads in their lifetime, which will end up in landfill or in the sea.

Cheaper: one woman uses up to 22 items of sanitary protection every period. Regardless of your flow, you only need one Mooncup, and it lasts for years and years, making it the most economical sanitary product you can buy.

Reasons Why The Keeper Is Preferable to Disposable Menstrual Products:

1. The Keeper (natural gum rubber — i.e., latex) and The Moon Cup (medical-grade silicone — i.e., non-latex) are both FDA-approved and the only menstrual cups made in America.

2. The Keeper is made from natural gum rubber and has a potential life expectancy of 10 years.

3. Although most women think pads and tampons have been sterilized, they have not. In fact, no feminine hygiene product has been sterilized.
FDA does not require that the ingredients in tampons and pads be listed anywhere in or on the package.

4. Over 12 BILLION pads and tampons are USED ONCE and disposed of annually, adding to environmental pollution.

According to a 1998 article in Vegetarian Times, studies conducted by the sanitary products industry have found that lurking within tampons are trace amounts of dioxin, a chemical deemed a probable carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Means:

To pull a MacGyver.

This is the art of slapping together a solution to a problem at the last minute, with no advanced planning, and no resources. It's the coat hanger you use to fish your car keys out of the toilet, the emergency mustache you hastily construct out of pubic hair.

What's interesting about desenrascanço (literally "to disentangle" yourself out of a bad situation), the Portuguese word for these last-minute solutions, is what is says about their culture.

Where most of us were taught the Boy Scout slogan "be prepared," and are constantly hassled if we don't plan every little thing ahead, the Portuguese value just the opposite.

Coming up with frantic, last-minute improvisations that somehow work is considered one of the most valued skills there; they even teach it in universities, and in the armed forces. They believe this ability to slap together haphazard solutions has been key to their survival over the centuries.

Don't laugh. At one time they managed to build an empire stretching from Brazil to the Philippines this way.

Fuck preparation. They have desenrascanço.

All day I long for it
The nightly phone call
The warmth of my bed
The release from the long empty hours of the day

The effortless work of sleeping and being empty
For you are far away and I am completely unoccupied
The slow and gentle spin of the earth that soothes me
Like a rocking chair in the cold of the wind and rain

My purposeless day goes on until night saves me and we can be together
For all the things I busy my mind and tire my limbs with
I have only you to fill my heart and my soul and then I can sleep again

The warmth of the sheets and comfort of my bed trap me
I do not wish to face another day so I sleep the morning away

If I cannot live then I wish to sleep and if I cannot sleep
You are only a phone call away

A Alicia Keys como eu nunca a ouvi, nem reconheci o Jack White sequer. O video é um bocado seca comparado à introdução do filme, mas a música é fixe.

Uma curiosidade é q este video foi posto no youtube no dia do meu aniversário!
