World Oceans Day & Biotherm
I automatically associate the ocean to beaches, sand between my toes and the sound of waves. It suddenly occurred to me that I often take these sounds, feelings and sights for granted. For this reason, I’ve taken the opportunity to discuss a really exciting movement by Biotherm for Worlds Ocean day.
World Oceans Day and Biotherm Water Lovers
World Oceans Day has been celebrated internationally since 1992. Across the globe, people join together to act for the ocean’s future in a big way, with more than 400 events in 70 different countries on the calendar for 2014.
Why not combine our love for skincare with an environmental cause, such as protecting oceans?
Biotherm Water Lovers supports Mission Blue by creating a strong sustainable water plan. They have a minimum 90% biodegradability target for new rinse-off formulas, 100% FSC certified cardboard packaging, and are now introducing naturally-derived particles in their skin scrubs.

My favourite place in the world is West Bay in Roatan, Honduras. I am of Honduran heritage so it might seem a little bias, but there is no denying how gorgeous the crystal clear waters are in the Bay Islands. In the future when I have children (God willing), I would love to bring them to this place. Preservation is key.
I intend on visiting Cayos Cochinos, Honduras one day (high up on my bucket list). It is composed of islands that are a Marine Protected Area and form part of the world’s second largest coral reef system known as the Meso-American Barrier Reef.
