The Glitter Box Book Club, online and IRL, gives us a space to talk about what we’re reading or listening to; a space to find suggestions, ask critical or moral questions, and grow together. Unlike a traditional book club, we don’t all read the same book within a set time period. Everyone can bring anything they’re reading and share what they’ve learned or what they’re musing on!

Giving someone just the right lil’ something can put a genuine smile on their face (and give you the warm and fuzzies). And doing that while supporting a small business and femme-maker makes it even more delightful! Shopping locally and supporting living makers can sound intimidating and expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. We’ve put together a guide of products made by womxn and femme folx that are all $20 and UNDER! So you can get everyone on your list - all the birthdays, graduations, promotions, and just-becauses - a perfect prezzie.

Free bleeding is exactly what it sounds like, going through menstruation in the most natural way possible; no pads, no tampons, no cups… no blocking or collecting the period flow. The reasons people choose to free bleed can range from comfort to environmental concerns to simply not having a choice.
