Lunapads Blog

Hello! I am really excited to be joining the Lunapads team.

I was born and raised in a small town on Vancouver Island and spent my after school hours in the dance studio since before I even started kindergarten. When I was in high school, I got really interested in the costume design aspect of the performance world. So much so, that upon my graduation, I moved to Vancouver to study fashion design at Kwantlen.

Studying fashion, textile arts and history of costume opened me up to a plethora of feminist concerns and passions; women’s empowerment, body image, textile art vs. craft and women’s role in society post Women’s Lib, to name a few. I did my internship with local designer, Allison Wonderland becauseI love our growing local fashion scene and her stuff is so darn cute. Working at lululemon’s little sister, OQOQO, is where I got schooled in the eco-fashion/textile movement and again, found a new passion.

Hi Everyone: I am thrilled that I have the opportunity to be a Lunagal and to help women have healthier periods! Getting Lunapads into retail stores across North America is my goal.

I am a born and raised Vancouver girl, I spent 6 years in my 20s living in la belle Province of Quebec, qui je parle francais. I have two teenaged daughters and one that has just ‘left the nest”; she is in her 20s. Pastimes I enjoy include painting, sculpture, going exploring, baseball, Rockhounding, and reading (I am a BIG Seth Godin fan.)

We are all part of the Luna Revolution and my husband loves Lunapads because he never ever has to buy pads or tampons and we adore saving money every month: big cheer for the Luna “guys” who support us!

Looking forward to doing some traveling spreading the word about Lunapads and meeting our retailers and consumers across North America. If you see me you are welcome to come over and say “Hi” – you never know, I may have one of the new coveted Lunapads 1-Inch Buttons in my pocket for you!

Well it looks like I am next on the role call! I found my way to Lunapads in December of 2007 and have been quietly learning the ropes without so much as a squeak in terms of blog-writing so I guess its time I introduced myself.

I grew up on an organic farm in the sleepy little town of Metchosin BC on Vancouver Island. If nearby Victoria is known for its population “Newlyweds and Nearly-Deads” then Metchosins’ handle would be something like “Sheep Farmers and Old Timers”.
Childhood consisted of a lot of tearing around outside, playing with/ running away from farm animals and absorbing my parent’s vast knowledge of organic agriculture. At a very young age I tried my hand at growing my own food and was very successful. I still do it to this day when my living situation permits it.

Why, hello! Lisa here, resident web wizard. I’ve been the newest addition to our covey for quite a while now, and thought it high time I peep up and introduce myself.

I was born an only child in Quebec, and raised in a rapidly sprawling bedroom community of southern Ontario. There, I spent my young days merrily climbing my home town’s garbage mountain, swimming its fake lakes, aimlessly wandering its strip mall parking lots, and creating my own fantastic dream world out of the so-called tedium that surrounded me.

I am so excited to be here writing to all you wonderful women who do us the honor of being curious about who we are and what we do. A few brief biographical details about me before we move on to more interesting topics: I was born and raised here in Vancouver, and love the city of my birth passionately. I attended University in Ontario prior to doing a lot of traveling and working abroad. I am an enraptured parent to Genevieve (or Miss Milk, as she is commonly known), who was born on April 10, 2005. I am married to her Dad, a very sweet man called Tim, who is an incredible source of love and support to me. Some other random personal tidbits: I am a left-handed Capricorn with a wicked sweet tooth who is also a proud reformed smoker, tennis enthusiast (although I refuse to keep score), novel-reader, armchair fashionista and sewing fiend.

Hey Lunagals everywhere, here is my intro to the blogosphere. It’s exciting, as I’ve often fantasized about blogging  so that I could share with others the story about the birth of  my boys and my personal journeys.  Plus, I really enjoy reading a few friends’ blogs as well as lurking in the local motheringdotcommune discussion boards. But, I never got around to creating my own blog. So, Lunapads’ foray into the world wide blog is my chance! And it’s been really fun learning how to use the blogging tools and writing stories and comments on what is going on in my mind.

I was born and raised in Victoria BC by immigrant parents from China who moved to Canada looking for a better life.  I moved to Vancouver in the early 80′s to attend university and get a business degree and become a Chartered Accountant…

Ever since in my life, I haven’t put my mind to a blog or thoughts surrounded my self, because in my reality, as a human being I will exist through my belief to my passion, which is my work satisfaction. I’ve been encouraged to blog about myself, when I’ve heard such words or stories from my co-workers about Lunapads’ foray into the worldwide blog and it ignited my enthusiasm and curiosity to the concept!

As a Filipino woman I can describe myself as a workaholic. I was given a proper determination in life that was shadowed by my mothers discipline when I was still young. My dad died just a year after I was born, but with the full love of my mom I enjoyed my childhood life till I became an adult.
