Turns out, a Canadian company called LUSH does make vegan shampoos, conditioners, and body washes by hand. Then they ship them in minimal packaging. They promise their bath and beauty products are 100% vegetarian, made by hand and never tested on animals. Fresh, natural ingredients benefit your body.


Not only is Lush one of my favorite places to get some pampering products, this busy cosmetics company that's busy buffing up some backsides while advocating against cruel seal hunts is also planning a campaign to make your neighborhood more lovely in honor of Earth Day with their handmade Seed Bombs.

Yes, Lush is all about the bombs (my favorite is the Sex Bomb) but these Seed Bombs aren't for you, but instead they're for Mother Earth. She could use some pampering too! It's a combination of soil, seeds, water and clay rolled into a small ball which can - and should! - be tossed anywhere that needs to be beautified with flowers native to North America. There is certainly alleyway I always pass through that I believe could use a little "seed bombing!"
