About

Hey! I’m Lu—a lifelong maker, rebel, and believer in building a life outside the system.

I grew up in the thick of the Punk generation, fueled by raw music, anti-authoritarian ideals, and a deep desire to live differently. Which made so much sense to my teenage self. While the slogans were loud—anarchy, veganism, freedom—they weren’t just noise to me. They were a code. A call to reject the mindless consumption and control that corporations and governments push on us daily. Decades later I find myself reawakening the dormant punk rebel of my youth, as a way to stand up to all atrocities happening in and by the US.

This blog is a modern extension of that spirit. It’s about buying nothing, making everything, and living with conscious resistance to the structures that want us dependent, distracted, and disconnected.

Here I share DIY recipes for everyday products (like natural deodorant, and low-waste products), tutorials on repurposing old clothes, knitting, sewing, recycling, and tips for living a zero-waste, self-sufficient life. It’s not just about crafts—it’s about revolution. Every handmade item, every reused jar or thrifted shirt, is a quiet act of rebellion.

This space is for the misfits, the makers, and the mindful. For anyone tired of being told they need more to be enough. Whether you’re here to save money, fight capitalism, reduce your footprint, or just learn to make your own damn stuff—welcome.

Let’s tear it all down and make something better.
