"When I think about soapnut, I don’t just think about clean clothes. I think about babies wearing garments washed in something safe and gentle. I think about the farmers and local suppliers who benefit from our purchases. I think about the earth, spared from harsh chemicals. And I think about the small but meaningful act of choosing something natural, something slower, something better."

I've bought soapnuts in the past, but I didn't know how to use them. They are such a natural way to clean clothes, I was really intrigued to read how my sister-in-law's baby wear company in Nepal washes all their fabric using them. And this article tells me how to use them!

What a creative, inspiring initiative!

At a time when Nepal has gone through a period of political upheaval and violence, this team of women who work with Kokroma has taken the scraps from their baby clothes making company and turned them into beautiful quilts!

This article explains how these seamstresses started from never having made a quilt to designing and producing the beautiful pieces that you can see here!

Inspiring Ted talk by a Nepali family friend, Rewati Gurung

I admire this amazing lady's achievements through her determination, dedication, and motivation in spite of what might have been insurmountable challenges for many in her situation. Her talk is well worth listening to.
