We love it when food waste is put to good use. Enter The Body Shop’s latest “ugly beauty” campaign, where wasted fruit and veggies are transformed into the shop’s latest line of body and skincare products. For example, cucumbers are used to fashion some yummy body yogurt, body butter and shower gel that feels so good after a day in the sun. For a much-needed zest in your life, there is also the lemon collection that includes body yogurt, scrub and shower gel. Tasty, indeed.

Chaumet’s Bee My Love collection is inspired by the bee and honeycomb. Each jewellery piece gives a fresh look at how gold, diamonds and geometry can be combined in the most artful manner. For example, rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings in yellow, rose and white gold come together in a range of sophisticated designs. The classic tennis bracelet is given a Chaumet touch in the form of a delicate line of white gold diamonds that can be worn with a matching short necklace in fully diamond pavé white gold.
Choose to reuse and recycle
That is a clarion call to action from H&M with an initiative that supports the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). How this initiative works is that customers are charged 10 cents for the use of every plastic or paper shopping bag across all stores in Singapore. Money collected from this initiative will then be donated to WWF-Singapore’s Plastic ACTion (PACT) initiative — an industry-wide plan for businesses to reduce plastic and work towards the goal of “No Plastics in Nature” by 2030 to support conservation efforts including research, innovation and conservation projects on plastics. Also, customers can also bring their unwanted clothes by any brand and in any condition to H&M, which will be collected to be reused, reworn or recycled with none going to a landfill. Other in-store sustainability efforts includes sustainability exhibitions to raise greater awareness and promote recycling and waste reduction among customers.
You’ve got mail
The humble mailbox has given Longchamp designers some ideas to design a handbag. This elegant leather bag has an illusion of a mailbox where letters can be slipped into a front pocket designed to resemble a mail slot. Like a mailbox, it boasts sleek lines and a structured look and the signature details give it a distinctive character. A metallic oval medallion adorns the leather, like a piece of elegant jewellery.
Wear it like Beckham
