Body Shop’s new look store Oxford Street store has a shower gel refill station, a feature that’s been brought back at a 20-year hiatus. There’s also a massive block of Shea butter than has come all the way from Ghana by boat to avoid notching up airmiles!

I found this old picture frame in the trash on the way to work today. I liked it. So I’m carrying it with me to document my day through a new lens. Ready? Here we go.
