I’m completely and utterly obsessed with beauty products; I wouldn’t be very good at my job if I weren’t. Receiving free samples is one of my greatest pleasures. But there comes a time in every woman’s life when she questions everything. For me, it was back in 2020.
We’re in lockdown and I’m in my home office, buried in my beloved beauty samples, procrastinating harder than usual. So hard that I was reading news articles (I believe ignorance really is bliss), and stumbled across one about carbon emissions having the biggest global decline ever recorded. Amongst the bad, there was good – the Earth was healing. I looked at my small mountain of boxes and decided I didn’t want to be part of the problem anymore.
Fast forward to now, and I only accept samples or shop from brands that want to make the world a better place. Since it’s Earth Day today (April 22nd every year FYI), I’m sharing my insights and eco-friendly ride-or-dies to treat yourself to.
