Fortunately there is a very small yet growing segment of the beauty industry that is seeking alternatives to single-use, hard-to-recycle plastics. It is still uncommon and hard to find, but I wanted to offer a list of a few brands that are challenging the status quo. It’s not easy. Glass containers are heavier than plastic, which adds to shipping weight and cost. Recycled plastics are a temporary solution that eventually goes to waste regardless; and just because something is recyclable or refillable doesn’t mean it actually gets recycled or refilled. There’s a long way to go to making this system truly circular and accessible, but at least some companies are trying.
This drink takes inspiration from the classic Silver Bullet cocktail, but the addition of champagne adds a little extra fun.
Sitting pretty 27 July Founded in 2014, Brussels-based design duo LeviSarha are known for their simple, functional creations and clean aesthetic. Headed by Sarha Duquesne and Levi Dethier, LeviSarha’s latest design to catch our eye is their striking series titled ‘Constellation Mirrors’, pictured. The set of three speckled monochrome mirrors are fashioned out of leftover acrylic stone panels. The series’ clean form and sleek aesthetic was achieved by milling into the acrylic and seamlessly placing a thin sheet of silvered glass into the created void.Photography: Claire Payen; www.levisarha.com Writer: Sara Sturges
Younger women often prefer a light, floral and sweet scent. Marc Jacobs Daisy, Paco Rabanne Lady Million, Donna Karen DKNY Be Delicious, Tommy Hilfiger Tommy Girl and Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb are all good bets. Marc Jacobs bottles are always a delight and will make the gift even more special.
If I were ever stranded on a deserted island, I’d want to have this oil on hand. Frankincense is the closest to a panacea that I have found, and still the musky scent and powerful properties of this biblical masterpiece never cease to amaze me. Simply inhaling frankincense always induces an overall sense of peace and vitality to my system, bringing me calm in the center of chaos.

CACAO 70: There’s never such a thing as too much chocolate and Cacao 70 just adds to the richness of this favourite food item. Cacao 70 initially began as a chocolate drinking bar in Montreal, but company officials soon discovered that customers had an appetite for more, so they went in a new direction and started bean sourcing, product development and new store concepts to showcase a chocolate that’s good, and affordable. Cacao 70 is now expanding its Montreal roots and opening up stores in locations across Canada – and you can enjoy Cacao 70 products (from chocolate bars to chocolate fondues and powders along with drinking chocolate, all made at the Cacao 70 factory in Montreal) here in Toronto, in the Distillery District, on Queen St. W., and on York Blvd.

‘However you would have to drink an awful lot of turmeric lattes to get much benefit and we’re not at the stage where the worried well should be popping a daily pill to prevent illness. But for someone putting up with the daily pain of arthritis, a decent supplement might be worth a try.’
Most of the eyeglass frames they carry are bio-acetate, a product made from plant materials like cotton fibre or wood pulp. Some use recycled metal. One supplier, Sea2see, makes frames from recycled plastic marine litter. Another, Toms, provides eye care — an exam, surgery, medical treatment or prescription glasses — to someone in need for every pair of glasses sold.

Brooklyn bars 13 December Given its name and the almost parodic images of bearded hipsters caressing its products online, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Brooklyn Soap Company is one of those achingly artisanal outfits that Brooklyn is famous for. Yet it’s actually based in Hamburg, selling men’s beard and skin care globally via its website and in barbers and menswear stores around Europe. In an imaginative move, BSC has commissioned star perfumer Mark Buxton (who was born in England but grew up in – Hamburg) to create a scent for its body wash and its first perfume. Called The Woods, it’s an appealingly earthy and, yes, woody fragrance, with a formula that includes bergamot, ginger, nutmeg and incense. Writer: Christopher Stocks
