Introducing: Love Beauty And Planet

love-beauty-planet By far the easiest way to help save the planet.

What Is Love, Beauty, and Planet?

Love, Beauty, & Planet is an eco-friendly line of shampoo, conditioners, and body washes created with the planet in mind. The company has six goals they want to accomplish in the short term:

  • Responsible ingredient sourcing
  • Reducing waste – bottles are made from 100% recycled bottles
  • Saving water – conditioner even has fast-rinse technology – yes, thats a thing!
  • Reducing carbon footprint – by donating a self-imposed carbon tax
  • Supporting environmentalists
  • Creating new and innovative products every year

There are both hair and skin products, all priced anywhere between $3-$9. When sustainable goes to mass market, its definitely a sign we are all moving in the right direction. I was so excited to be one of the early testers of this line that I have been using consistently since December.

The entire range includes the following fragrance families: Coconut & Ylang Ylang, Tea Tree & Vetiver, Coconut Water & Mimosa Flower, Argan Oil & Lavender, Shea Butter & Sandalwood, and Murumuru Butter & Rose.

I opted for the Murumuru Butter & Rose line, which is best for color treated hair. It is made with Amazonian murumuru butter and Bulgarian rose petal. I’m obsessed with anything rose scented so I knew I’d love at least that part of it. I can’t stand when a scent is too overpowering, and i was very happy to find the rose was fresh and light.

But does it work?

The shampoo and conditioner left my hair feeling soft and silky. I use a lot of high-end (and much higher priced) products and I would say these are on par with those in terms of performance. I know that the conditioner has a fast-rinse technology but I can’t say I noticed a huge difference in the time it took me to rinse. I loved the body wash so much and I felt like the rose scent mixed with the shower steam made me feel like I was having a luxurious spa experience.

Overall I was very impressed. First off, the company eco-friendly mission isn’t just a marketing tactic – everything from the formula ingredients to the packaging recycling is a part of an intentional strategy to align with their sustainability goals and with companies like Impacked providing things like wholesale packaging caps and other forms of packaging then it is easier than ever for companies to make the switch to more sustainable materials. Most importantly though, the products really work, and the accessible price point is going to make it even easier for more people looking to shop ethical beauty. Because if everything else was equal, who wouldn’t choose beauty products that also help save the planet?

Last week we took a quick trip to escape the snow for some sunshine in Key Largo, Florida☀️ We spent every moment possible outside, Tom and Adam got their Scuba Diver PADI certification (yay!) while Sophia and I spent our days either swimming or drawing marine life and landscapes. This was my first trip after my sister passed last November, and even though I look so happy here, there were so many moments I felt the grief and sadness, as if it happened just yesterday. I am still figuring out how I want to show up in this space, as I have changed so much as a person since the loss. I just don’t feel called to post some of the things I shared before. Maybe that will change someday, or maybe it will just naturally evolve into something new. I think I will take this year to just process it all. (Even the idea of taking an entire year to think through something is a huge shift for my usually hyperactive type A personality) My focus at the moment is just living in the moment with my family and friends, spending time doing things that make me happy and healthy. I hope to share some of that journey here with you ~ thanks for following along ❤️
I had planned to shoot this outfit in collaboration with @lenacoutureofficial right before my dear sister passed away. Saba, the designer, was more than understanding if I didn’t want to anymore - but after thinking on it for a while I decided I wanted to - in my sister’s honor 💗 She was always my biggest hype woman. When i would feel like I’m not good enough or that I should quit (which was often) she would tell me I was unique and great and to keep it up. When I think of my sister, beauty and love is all that she embodied in her being. She expressed that on the outside also - as she loved to wear everything glam, bright & colorful, and full of bling. Hair done, nails done, everything did - that was Nusrat. For this shoot I took the time to get glam after a long hiatus - and makeup and hair took so long because I think I forgot how to do it, but afterwards I was surprised how I felt transformed. When I wore this gorgeous outfit that I know was designed with such love and incredible attention to detail by @lenacoutureofficial, I felt all of that beauty - like a walking piece of art, and very much at peace. Thank you so much to @divmophoto for capturing the feeling so well 💕
Ski weekend with my favorites ❄️❄️ So proud of Sophia for skiing on her own for the first time!
There are some trees with seeds that only grow after a fire. Their seeds are completely sealed with a resin that have to be physically melted off by a great fire in order to propagate. So to do we as humans, gain wisdom only after great pain and suffering.*
A month ago (and one day) I lost my sister and best friend to cancer. I am still completely gutted and broken. But, I’m also so so grateful to have had felt the love that now brings me so much heartbreak. ❤️ I am so inspired by her - and I will forever live my life to honor her memory. Miss you sis ❤️

Cozy for a coffee date ☕️
French. Toast. Egg. Bake. Save this recipe for a weekend or holiday brunch - it’s SO good and fool-proof! I’m not even a sweet person and I love it. The pecans are a non-negotiable IMO - I get honey bourbon vanilla pecans for this and it is just heavenly. Enjoy!
