REturn & REflection

Lately, I found out a popular trend among beauty/fashion bloggers called "my favourite products of the month" which led me to a careful reflection regarding how much our daily life depends from market and advertising. This kind of trends, apparently harmless, are actually rich soil for the growth of destructive behaviours, first of all the production of massive pollution. We have created an unsustainable society based on consumerism, the biggest trap of modern times and poison for our souls, while we keep on poisoning our bodies with lots of chemicals we don't even know.

Instead of contibuting to all this, why don't we start to make by hand our own new favourite products of the month ever? If you pay attention to the list of ingredients in most of the commercial products you buy, you will start to look at them with different eyes.
Let's take a step back and join the wonderful world of diy! Once you try the fulfilling experience to see how a bunch of ingredients can turn into a beautiful creation, you will feel like a baby moving his/her first steps :)


Here you are two of my latest favourites which I'm really proud of, homemade by me following youtube tutorials:
