I like a bit of sparkle. It may be the fact that I’m a pixie, my inner child is a princess/unicorn/mermaid or the fact that I started going out in the 90’s and smearing your face was the thing to do. This natural love for glitter gets stronger at Christmas but as joy-giving as glitter is, it’s terrible for the environment and that does not increase the fizziness of the season. Glitter is a microplastic which means it gets into the water supply and causes havoc in our oceans.
There are other options. You can get ethical, vegan, biodegradable glitter. Isn’t it heavenly the people find ways to not harm the planet while adding sparkle?
Wild Glitter have a great range that you can use for crafts or a bit of self-decoration if the spirit takes you. You have a choice of fine or chunky. The packaging is either recyclable or biodegradable. I’m a fan of the fine turquoise and chunky aqua. They are just a bit fizzy.
Moving to ethical glitter and away from microplastic would have a huge positive impact on the environment. And you know glitter looks better if you are glowing with feel-good fizziness that you are doing your own fabulous bit for the planet.
