We promised you we'd bring you with us, so that's what we're doing here.Let's find out our team's gOOOd practices while on vacation.
Today, we’re sailing around Elba with Camilla Camata, our executive assistant. Elba, Tuscany, August 2021
Camilla went on a boat trip in the Tuscan Archipelago. Blue waves and sea breeze: so gOOOd.
Summer sunsets from a sailboat are definitely unforgettable.
If you're choosing to go on a trip like hers, she has a few tips for you!
gOOOd Tip no.1
Be natural on board!
Go for natural shampoo and soap, paying attention to the amount of water you use. And if you can get them as soap bars, even better!
gOOOd Tip no.2
Protect the sea and your skin.
Use a sunscreen that doesn't harm the sea, marine life and your skin, like our Alena Organic Floral Sunscreen, formulated without any synthetic ingredients.
gOOOd Tip no.3
Recycle!
Being zero-waste is the ultimate goal, but until that, remember to recycle correctly (and never throw anything into the sea!). Recycling isn't just a gOOOd practice to respect our planet, but it's also a way to create something new: that's why we're so proud of our Jellyfish Earrings, made from recycled plastic bottles collected in another Italian Archipelago, the Eolian one.
Oh well, we're not saying that boat trips are only about dos and don'ts: they also mean relaxation, fun and time for yourself.
In fact, what better time than holidays to lose yourself in a book? You'll find a lot of wooden boxes for book-sharing all across Elba: let the books inspire you, pick the one you like and leave another one you think everyone should read.
But if you need some advice, we got you! Camilla read 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari: a book that surely gives plenty of food for thought.
Did you know that legend has it that the islands around Elba originated from Venus' necklace? The goddess, while emerging from the Tyrrhenian sea, lost seven pearls that turned into the seven islands of this Archipelago.
To match with Elba's Greek side, check out our Isole & Vulcani Pegasus swimwear collection. Our bikini, swimsuit and high waist bikini are created in collaboration with gOOOders and made from organic and fair-trade cotton. Simple, timeless and blue like the sky from the sailboat.
Let the sea breeze whisper to you new ideas.
Until next week,
with love,
Your gOOOders team
