A World Of Green For You To Enjoy

The Body Shop celebrates 20 years with one of their top selling product ranges, that nearly didn’t hit the shelf. Disrupting the beauty industry since 1976, the brand seems to be at the forefront of fighting for more ethical beauty. The company was founded in Brighton England by Anita Roddick, a business woman, entrepreneur and human rights / environmental activist.

As I got onto the subway with a potted cauliflower plant (I planted too many at home so I am giving one to Catherine – #Adulting problems) and put my bag down, I noticed that a woman wanted to sit down and I was in her way. I adjusted my things and let her take a seat, smiling at her as I did. She smiled in return and the simple interaction made me happy. Funny how a smile can change someone’s outlook on the day.
