5 DIY Composting Toilet Ideas And Details To Consider

Image
Most of us were raised on flush toilets. You go in the bathroom, do what you’ve got to do, and then the press of a shiny lever flushes all your unpleasantries into oblivion, never to be thought of again. But that modern luxury — and it is a luxury — is something that many of us see as not worth the damage it wreaks on our environment and water supply, or the fertility it steals from our land. Many people are deciding to shirk the wasteful ways of the water closet and reclaim responsibility for their own waste … enter the composting toilet. View this post on Instagram To all the DIY skoolie converters (and other folks that are curious, or have need for a composting toilet) out there, I finally created a blog post explaining how I made my composting toilet. This was my second attempt, and it is vastly improved over my first version. Click the link to go to my website, then visit the blog for complete, easy to follow instructions. It's a pre...

Review! Don’t Miss These Halloween Time Starbucks Drinks in Downtown Disney!

Image
Halloween Time is in full swing in Disneyland Resort, and even Starbucks is in on the spooky fun! Halloween Time in Disneyland During our last visit to Downtown Disney, we couldn’t resist trying their pair of limited-time Halloween Time drinks — the Maleficent Frappuccino (which we told you about recently) and the Dr. Facilier Elixer . Halloween Time Starbucks Drinks We first tried the Maleficent Frappuccino — a blueberry and vanilla bean creme frappuccino blended with diced dragon fruit and topped with matcha tea whipped cream . Maleficent Frappuccino We thought the three flavors blended well and tasted very fruity . The diced dragon fruit was finely blended, and we didn’t get any sips with small chunks of the fruit. The drink had a pleasant aftertaste, as the taste would fade softly after each sip. It honestly tasted a bit like Smarties candy to us! We could easily taste the matcha tea from the whipped cream, but it wasn’t overbearing and nicely complemented the fl...
