Treats be with us
This wellness brand is beauty and environmentalism all rolled into one.
I’m a sucker for beauty products. Drugstores and beauty bars are my biggest temptations, and more often than not, I find myself with a bagful of new products even when I really just planned to buy one small thing. Call me unhinged, but a sweet-smelling lotion, or a new shade of lipstick, is enough to make me happy for the rest of my life.
But then again, there are products that are good for you, and there are products that are good for you and the planet. Lately, sustainability has been the talk of the town, with the emergence of metal straws, the call for more cruelty-free and vegan products and, of course, the use of recycled plastic (or even better, no plastic at all). If you’re one of those who’s been searching high and low for that all-in-one beauty product, Love Beauty and Planet is perfect for you.
As the name suggests, Love Beauty and Planet is all about loving beauty and the planet at the same time. When they say that they want to make you beautiful while also protecting the planet, they really aren’t kidding. Their products are made from natural ingredients, they’re vegan and cruelty-free, and packaged in 100-percent recycled plastic. Talk about legit sustainability. On top of that, the three collections — Argan Oil and Lavender, Tea Tree Oil and Vetiver, and Murumuru Butter and Rose — cater to your specific needs. Trust me when I say that they have everything for you.
For days when you need an extra push
Mondays are hard work. It’s like a splash of cold water after a cozy and lazy Sunday, a wake-up call that you have to get up and do adult stuff. Snoozing the alarm might seem like a good idea when you’re still under the covers, but it will definitely have repercussions later on. The Tea Tree Oil and Vetiver Collection is enough to kickstart your week and give you all that extra push you need. You get in the shower wondering if your job is really worth it, and you step out a new person, energized and ready to seize the day.
For pampering days
Some days my confidence is sky-high, and others, I feel like I look like Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars. We all have off days, and it’s nice to take a moment to pamper ourselves and pretend that we’re in a luxurious spa when, really, we’re just in our bathrooms. The Murumuru Butter and Rose Collection is enough to make you feel like a million bucks — and smell like it, too!
For days when you just…can’t
Yes, I know that long baths and afternoon naps can’t really cure my depression, but they sure help me get my mind off of a lot of crazy things. February has been a pretty rough month, and it’s easy to get stressed every day, what with all the hectic days and the unbearable traffic. As someone who sometimes finds it hard to fall asleep, lavender-scented products have been my saving grace for a while. Lavender has been proven to help you sleep better, and with Love Planet and Beauty’s Argan Oil and Lavender Collection, I found myself drifting off to dreamland in a jiffy. Relaxation is at the forefront with this collection, and boy, do they deliver.
