RIE'S SUSTAINABLE DAILY - VOL. 12

[Sustainable Cosmetics great for gifts!]

Today I'd like to introduce the eco-friendly sustainable cosmetics that my friends recently gave me.

I love giving presents for various celebrations, but recently from the perspective of sustainability, I've started to think whether or not the product is eco-friendly, whether or not the person who receives the gift would really use them etc.  It got me thinking about the responsibility of both gifting and receiving.

Having said that, I'm very happy that my friends have taken the time and money to choose something for me, so when I receive a gift, I am really thankful and am conscious of using them!

Also as I have more opportunities to talk about sustainable themes in conversations with my friends, many of the gifts I receive are environmentally friendly, which makes both the gifter and receiver happy.

Let me introduce some of the items!
