Over the past decade, there's been a serious
increase in consciousness— people are more health conscious, environmentally
conscious and community conscious than ever before. That being said, there’s
not only an interest in products that give back, there’s a demand. Even if it’s not your thing, you have to admit you feel a
tad less guilty on a splurge investment when you find out it saves the
environment, combats child labor or donates to a charity. Luckily for me, one
of my latest investments was far from a splurge and hit the “consciousness”
ball way out of the park.
As a sucker for aromatherapy, I often find
myself wandering in aisles full of luxury soaps and body butters knowing full
well that I should be content with my shelf full of Elizabeth Arden and
Caudalie products at home. Nevertheless, an innocent sniff session usually ends
with me in the checkout lane. However, this
time, I didn’t feel an ounce of remorse! As I browsed through a sea of
beautifully packaged and promising items, I stumbled upon a shower crème by
Love and Toast. The irresistibly cute packaging drew me in, it passed the sniff
test and the label read “paraben,
phthalate and sulfate free.” I was sold for all of this at a very reasonable price.
After a week of use, I realized that my skin had never felt softer in my life.
I have very dry skin that beckons the daily use of body butter. However, Love
and Toast lets me cheat a bit! As soon as I hop out of the shower, my skin is
noticeably soft and glowing. Now that it’s warmer out, some days I skip the
body butter all together. I feel completely and utterly spoiled. So spoiled
that I decided to look online for more products. In my research
of sorts, I discovered that 97% of the ingredients are naturally derived, there
are no animal ingredients, never animal tested and the kicker…a portion of
every sale goes to Girls Inc. Even better! So not only am I incredibly soft and
sweet smelling, I’m helping empower young girls! Who knew I was being
unconsciously conscious. I look forward to trying more Love and Toast products soon!
