Everyone of us has had different ways of coping with the "new normal", whether it's doing yoga every morning, baking or just trying to keep your routine as normal as possible. Some of you might not be coping so well, and that's okay too! For the most part, I have enjoyed the free time I've had the past few months, some times I've really struggled. Self care is so much more than plastering a face mask on or having a glass of wine in the bath... That being said, I am very fond of drinking in the bath while wearing a face mask.

Slogan tees however, are a different story. About two years ago, I couldn't walk into Penney's or any other high street shop on Grafton street and not pick up the latest t-shirt with a catchphrase from the latest movie or a saying that went viral because of a goddess-like creature from Love Island. I had to have them! Now, however, the more I research the fast fashion industry the more I realize how much damage those slogan tees are inflicting on the environment and humanity. Cotton is seen as a nice, clean fabric. How could it be harmful when it's so soft and grown naturally unlike synthetic fabrics? But you may be surprised to learn that, in fact, cotton isn't that great at all. It takes 2,700 litres of water to make one single cotton t-shirt, which is enough water for one pe
