To quote the wise words of Kermit the Frog, “it's not easy being green”. There comes a point when all this green living gets to be too much. Like, now designers are making green dresses out of organic cotton, and people look at me weird in Tesco when I dilly daly in my decision whether to buy locally sourced, free-range, organic, natural, sustainable, happy-lifed and, dare I say it, astronomically expensive, chicken for dinner, or opt for the cheaper variety (maybe I should flash them my student card). To be honest, it’s all a little confusing.
Thank goodness for Spa Ritual; they’re making it simple to live in line with Mother Nature. To offset my cheap-chicken eating ways, I’m going to attempt to make one element in my beauty routine a little greener, by swapping my regular nail polish for one that's truly chemical-free. SpaRitual's Nail Lacquer, in addition to being free of DBP, toluene and formaldehyde, the vegan polish (yes, you read that correctly) comes in a bottle made from reusable glass. Among the 72 shades of polish (none of which are actually green in colour, shame) I particularly like Strike A Pose, a cheerfully bright pink hue, perfect for my toes. My choice of earth-friendly nail polish is hardly the shopping equivalent of living off the grid, but hey, I like to think I’m saving one polar-bear at a time.
