You Can Get Free Pads And Tampons In This Country

by

Just let us start by saying, that sanitary products for women should be free everywhere! Not only that they are not free of charge, they are quite pricey due to being taxed. Condoms have always been traditionally given for free for education purposes. However, women have been raising their voice asking governments to make pads and tampons free. Scotland on the other hand, has officially become the first country in the world to approve this proposition. Now on, you can officially get free pads and tampons in this country.

Scottish Parliament Approves Free Sanitary Products For All Women

In fact, the legisltaion has been in discussion since 2016. As sanitary products for women are taxed in most countries, as if they were products for luxury. However, feminists argue that women didn’t choose to have periods, and that pads and tampons should be free worldwide.

The Scottish parliament voted almost unanimously to be the first country in the world to change that. In addition, there were 112 votes in favor, 0 in against and only one abstention. Furthermore, the second step of passing the bill could witness some amendment propositions. The products are to be made available free of charge, at community centres, youth clubs and pharmacies, at an estimated annual cost of 24.1 million pounds ($31.2 million).

Women Spend Almost 2000$ On Such Products

This new law is supposed to come as a consequence to research showing the unrealistic cost of such sanitary products. According to a study, women spend almost 2000$ on period related products in their lifetime. Not only does the figure concern pads and tampons, but also PMS medication, and of course, »the pink tax» that’s added to sanitary products for women.

Scottish lawmaker Alison Johnstone asked: “Why is it in 2020 that toilet paper is seen as a necessity but period products aren’t? Being financially penalised for a natural bodily function is not equitable or just.”

The Right Path Towards Normalizing Menstruation

This is actually not the first time Scotland makes an impact regarding this issue. In fact, back in 2018, it became the first country ever to provide »free sanitary products in schools, colleges and universities.» This initiative comes as an attempt to normalize menstruation, especially for the young women of the country. In addition, according to parliament member Monica Lennon, this new introduced »bill» aims to promote gender equality, and change perception about women’s bodies.

These Are Natural Ways To Get Rid Of Greasy Hair

by

Waking up to a greasy hair that looks like it hasn’t been washed in weeks is not exactly a great way to start the day. We understand your struggle, as having oily hair requires extra care. However, it’s not always that you will need to spend all your money on hair-care. Sometimes, you can get rid of greasy hair using natural remedies. We have prepared for you in Cachet, 5 natural ways to get rid of your greasy hair without suffering too much in the process.

Don’t Wash It That Often

If you already wash your hair more than once a week, then you are draining your scalp from natural oils. Furthermore, over-washing a dry scalp will make it produce even more oils to rehydrate. Therefore, try to stretch the frequency and schedule washing your hair with your workout calendar as one of many natural ways to get rid of greasy hair.

Use Dry Shampoo

Moreover, not washing your hair as much as you are used to, doesn’t necessarily mean having dirty hair. In fact, using dry shampoo or baby powder will save you the hassle of morning showers.

In addition, it dries out the oils in your scalp, and give it a clean appearance in few seconds. The downside? Dry shampoo leaves residues on your hair that will make it look dirty after multiple uses. However, if you plan your hair-washing schedule correctly, you shouldn’t have a problem at all.

Moisturize With Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is known to have many benefits. It has been used as a natural remedy for hair and skin issues since forever. Experts actually recommend using a coconut-based conditioner to have silky, and shiny hair. Moreover, using coconut oil as a frequent treatment will eventually allow to lift oil off the scalp and roots, while adding some much-appreciated deep hydration.

Apply Shampoo Properly

One important factor to having greasy hair is not dedicating enough time to the washing process. In fact, applying shampoo properly, and rinsing it well after is key. Since residues of the shampoo cause your hair to produce even more oil, and possibly even dandruff.

For that reason, always make sure to »massage» your scalp without using your nails. Press gently and focus on the scalp rather on the length of your hair. Then, make sure to deeply rinse and clean with warm water. (Hot water damages your hair!!!)

Stop Playing With It

Yes, maybe you like to play with your hair when your stress at work, or let your boyfriend run his fingers through it. However, touch actually makes your hair more oily. Think about it, all the dirt on your hair will literally stick on your hair. In addition, Brushing and touching your hair frequently can stimulate oil glands, which will make your hair look dirtier and more greasy much quicker.

Experts Tell Us Why Is Modern Dating Becoming So Hard

Experts Tell Us Why Is Modern Dating Becoming So Hard

Would you believe someone who tells you they met the love of their life on Tinder? It’s a possibility, since everyone is basically resorting to social apps for dating. One of the reasons why modern dating is so hard, is because Nowadays, people just DM each other, or hit the follow button looking for their »special person.»

The thing is, most of us grew up in an environment in which we believed true love exists, and that someday, we will meet the person who will change our life. Moreover, as we grow older, and immerse ourselves in the modern dating culture, we realize how hard it is becoming to find the right person. Technology has basically shaped our lives, and experts tell us why modern dating is so hard.

Hookup Culture Is Making Everything Easy

Every time I met a new guy that I liked and thought was quite interested, I feel the obligation of making it clear that I don’t want a hookup. Sometimes, the look on their face says it all, and other times, you know it after they stop responding. Either way, it seems like not wanting a one night stand is an obstacle in today’s dating expectations.

Moreover, the same line of ‘’I’m not looking for anything serious right now’’ is partially due to how easy getting someone has become. I mean, both men and women have been through a lot, that finding love has become such a negatively perceived word.

We Don’t Know How To Deal With Our Emotions

Another consequence of having it easy, is the fact that we don’t understand our emotions. Instead, we rather burry them in, and just jump into the next interesting thing we find. In fact, experts argue that being hurt too many times causes several people to avoid commitment, under the pretext that they are not ready. Actually, they explain, that you will never be ready until you face your issues.

The way to do it? They recommend opening up, being honest with yourself, and learning to give people an opportunity. while some people may be needing some sort of psychological help, having a more positive outlook on dating and love could be fruitful.

The Perfect Love Is Blinding Us

In addition, movies, songs and reality TV have made it even harder to settle down. As we are always drawn to the idea of ‘’the perfect person’’, that nothing is ever enough. Experts argue that the high expectations we have created for ‘the perfect love’ » makes dating harder because it’s common for us to look for what’s wrong with someone, instead of focusing on what’s right.

In other words, when you find someone who is not literally perfect, you choose to move on to the next person, as oppose as learning to work on things and grow together.

Feminism Is Changing The Game

Yes, feminism has raised so much awareness about women’s rights, and equality. If anything, this movement has given women a higher voice when it comes to dating. As a matter of a fact, experts explored the aftermath of the worldwide #metoo movement, finding that it has destroyed app dating for women.

Why? well, mainly because women are becoming more aware of the dangers of rape and abduction, and have adopted an approach of fear regarding app dating, or hookups in general.
