Conserving our resources and saving the environment has been a hot topic for some time, but unfortunately, it has been moving at a snails pace where fashion, home and family friendly finds are concerned.
Today, thanks to the passion of some great designers, local boutique owners, creative store concepts, and cosmetic and skincare lines like Lush and Origins, which have been around for years begging us to take note of the importance of eco-friendly products, we can now find environmentally friendly and ultra-stylish products at our fingertips.
Here are just a few that we could not pass up.
Lush Bubble Bar
Bubble bath in solid form? Yep! But it goes deeper than that. Lush’s products contain no preservatives or surfactants, and these bubble bars actually allow you to experience what a true bubble bath should be – bubblicious! This one, The Comforter, is just one of many delicious fragrances to choose from.
