Taking Care Lips while Saving Earth

I've been living with chapped lips since i was in juniorhigh. But back there, i dont care! As a boyish girl, i thought it's too girly applying lip care to your lips. I ignored my bad chapped lips and often teared the dead skin off my lips. As the result, i have over pigmented lips instead of pink healthy lips. I kindda regret it. Because black over pigmented lips are looked bad!!! So, finally i decided to pay more attention to my lips health. I no longer think that lip care is too girly, lip care is magical tool that can transform my dull chopped lips into bright healthy sophisticated lips, wahahaha!!!

Choosing the right lip care was another problem for me since i was dummy for this beauty kits thing. I saw nivea lip care repair and seems so match for my highly damaged lips. So,i bought it.
Lately I've been thinking, nivea lip care is made in Germany, how much carbon it cost to transport it from germany to Indonesia. So i evaluate my nivea lipcare and decided to choose another lipcare. Then, this lip care catched my eyes. My sister used it, and when i tried, i felt like this was my lips' match....
Vitamin E Lip Care with SPF 15 from body shop!!!
It kept my lips moist for long time, so i didnt have to apply it so often. It is packed in cute pink stick and also smell like vanilla, hm......yummy.....

It is made in USA tough....but, body shop has good values and campaigns for saving earth and developing community in several poor and developing country, unfortunatelly not Indonesia.
In Body Shop website, you can browse your product and get informed where does your product come from. For example this lipcare contains Beeswax from the remote tropical forests of North West Zambia, where the extra income helps more than 3,000 beekeepers preserve their traditional way of life and Olive oil from an area in Italy that has produced olives since the middle age. So, by buying this lipcare you are also helping beekeepers in Zambia and olive farmer in Italy. Beekeepers in zambia now have good income so they dont have to cut trees in forest to get more income. Yay, we save the trees in Zambia and our lips smell like vanilla!!!

Or, if you like chocolate better than vanilla, you can try this one, i've tried this one too




Body Shop said it contain : Cocoa Beans For centuries the women of Ghana have used cocoa butter to moisturise and cool their skin in the African heat. Since 1995, The Body Shop has been buying cocoa beans from the Kuapa Kokoo company in Ghana, a fair trade co-operative with over 30,000 small-scale farmers. The money made by the co-operative enables the development of community projects such as schools and village wells in addition to providing the farmers with income to support their families.
Beeswax from the remote tropical forests of North West Zambia, where the extra income helps more than 3,000 beekeepers preserve their traditional way of life.
Olive oil from an area in Italy that has produced olives since the middle ages. The Nuovo Cilento Co-operative formed as a result of people abandoning the land to seek work elsewhere. In a remarkable story of success over adversity, the co-operative has gone from strength to strength, cutting out the middle-man to sell their organically produced olive oil directly, maximizing their profit and so preserving their traditional way of life. Every product you buy containing Community Traded olive oil further helps the community and local environment.

Well, i dont know how much carbon these products cost, and do their campaign in Zambia by saving trees pay the carbon that the products cost. But knowing that i contribute in saving our earth makes me feel better. Consumtion activity is always related as carbon source activity. So it is good for us to select what product that not only has benefit for us but also for earth and other people.

I wonder is there any local product that has values and campaigns for saving earth and developing community. Body shop i think has proved us that being nice to earth can give good image and profit for the brand. People eager and proud using body shop products. I hope what they're doing is not a mask to cover the greedy, nasty, dirty things that they do for bussines. Let's just be possitive, everyone!!!
