I recently reviewed the first products I got from Bath and Body Works - Aromatherapy Stress Relief. They were just three. There is always a Buy-3-Get-1-Free offer going on at Bath and Body Works India shops. So, I like to believe this is my free one - Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Focus Body Scrub. Which BTW is not true because the free one is the least priced one and this is not. 😊
Today, I am excited to share this with you - Limited Edition The Body Shop Cactus Blossom Hand Wash.
Because:
1. I have been following The Body Shop for almost 10 years. In all these years, I have never seen a hand wash from TBS. In fact, this is the first time, I am reviewing any hand wash on Sweet And Bitter Blog.
2. Cactus Blossom! How interesting does it sound? I have never tried anything with Cactus Blossom. I do not even know what Cactus Blossom smells like in real! (But I am eyeing the Bath and Body Works Cactus Blossom candle.)
3. Limited edition. Will go away from the market soon.

April 2018: Bath and Body Works is going to come to India.
July 3rd, 2018: I enter Bath and Body Works. Runs out screaming
internally.
The choices at the store are insane. Moreover, the names are
not easy to predict. How I am supposed to know how 'Fiji Sands' smells like or
'Comfort' smells like? Your comfort can different from my comfort! By the time,
I have tried five-six, I get overwhelmed and I step out. This continued for more
than six months.
This February, on my birthday: I decided - come what may, I am going to buy something. Something. Anything.

(I remember that the same happened when I went to Bath and
Body Works in Bali. I purchased three mists because I had no intention to miss
anything.)
In 2012, I planned a trip to Andaman. On day 1, our driver informed that we might be able to get entry to Jolly Buoy. I had not done much research, and I was not aware of what I was about to witness. Without a doubt, what I saw was the best things that my eyes have ever seen - coral in a myriad of colors. Beautiful creatures that I could not believe are in the same planet we live in. In the next 15 days of our trips, I saw more corals. Scuba dived at Havelock Island and witnessed lovely fishes. However, I also learned how plastics are damaging them. How the change in water temperature is harming them! I want them to survive. I want them to live. I want my future generations to see what I have seen.
I was always against the use of plastics. I hated how stray animals will eat food in them and the plastics later developing issues. I do not want to dig deep. Please google this. Even writing about it gives me chills.
But, after I returned, I realized that something needs to be done. It was a slow change but the biggest change started to come around last year. I am still far from perfect. Here are just some little things I do to do my part:
1. Refuse: I refuse a plastic bag altogether. I never buy groceries from malls because they need to tag everything and even a small item needs to be inside a plastics bag. Luckily, I have a farmers market outside my society every Friday where I get my weekly vegetables. Even at Malls, I say no to paper bags. I always carry a tote with me in which I shove in everything I buy. There have been days when I have a cart full of things but because I forgot my tote and the shore had no option of the cloth bag, I have dropped everything and returned without buying anything.
