Lush Products: My Favorites!
Lush is a cruelty-free, 100% vegetarian brand of bath and body products. They are based in the UK and make natural products by hand with love. Lush is an earth friendly brand. Many of their items are packaged in black plastic pots. Once you have five empty black pots, they can be brought back to the store and exchanged for a free fresh face mask. I think it is wonderful that they reuse their old containers and will give their customers a free face mask for bringing back empty containers for them to recycle.

Love Yourself
I'm sure by now you have heard the phrase, "If you can't love yourself how do you expect anyone else to love you?" If you're like me, then you probably rolled your eyes at this statement.
