It’s better for us to deal with it, this November (unfortunately) seems to be the new mMrch. So, instead of daydreaming of those dear cold nights we could spend out, we can prepare for a zen mode-on winter and try not to leave space for melancholia and bad thoughts. On this purpose, all the five brands that we’re recommending this month are natural magnets of positivity and wellness, good for you and good for earth.
FreakLèChic
The first italian yoga house. As defined by its founder, Alessia Brilli, an italian stylist and yoga enthusiast, who decided to create a complete collection in which you can find the perfect style for your daily yoga/pilates session. Undershirts, sports bras, shirts and sweatshirts designed with an elegant and cosy style. A great eco-friendly example of Made in Italy fabrics, produced only with natural fiber.
Herbivore Botanicals
If the attention for our inner well-being is important, it is also important the dedication for our body wellness. And where do we start from if not from skincare? I know, I know… It sounds so cliché. But really, in a moment like the one we’re living in even simple daily rituals like taking care of our own skin can be therapeutic. Herbivore Botanicals vegan and cruelty-free products are created with this intention. From moisturizing creams to aromatherapy oils, every ingredient is there for a specific therapeutic reason. And not to sound excessive but probably your skin will feel more hydrated just if you look at their website. I don’t know if it is because of the vibrant packagings that probably came all the way from unicorns’ universe or because of the non-toxic products’ ethic, but if the intention of the brand was to bring enjoyment to our beauty routine, well they certainly made it.
Pana Organic
After so much care to our skin, it’s time for a sweet break. On the Pana Organic website there is a plenty of choice. Chocolate Bars (white, dark, caramel salt, milk), ice cream’s flavours, hazelnut spread. Vegan and gluten-free products, genuinely made with 100% organic ingredients. It sounds crazy but we couldn’t ask nothing healthier than a piece of chocolate.
EcoFemme
We could start writing a very long dissertation regarding all the necessities that having menstruation means, in terms of costs, health and environmental sustainability. Luckily, projects like EcoFemme really take care of these three issues. Based in India, the brand created a collection of washable cloth pads able to meet the needs of different menstrual cycle. But what makes these products really special is the possibility to contribute to menstrual health education for young and adult indian women who live in poor conditions. Moreover, through the Eco-Sisterhood programme, buying a cloth pad means giving a pad set to those indian girls who couldn’t afford it anyway. A project of female empowerment that is also really good for our environment.
AVA&MAY
Between fall and winter, there is no such thing as delightful as a scented candle. Pefect to create the right mood, AVA&MAY vegan candles are handmade with 100% soy wax, which is biodegradable and cruelty free. Fully eco-friendly, the brand provides a wide range of products and flavours, able to please every different taste: from sweet to floreal, from fresh to spicy.
So, what else we could say? Light your favourite scented (and eco-friendly!) candle, take a deep breath and let this winter begin.
