First launched in 2016, Projekt Glitter is a company that strives to do things differently. From London to Berlin, founder Jeen comes from a background in product design, making her skills an integral part of her company. Their unique glitter is made up of a special biodegradable film derived from plant cellulose meaning you can wear and dispose of the sparkles without guilt. Plus, the raw ingredients are ethically sourced and certified compostable. They sell all sorts of funky and classic color combinations and glitter types, but we found that their gel packets make it that much easier to dive right in. Conscious raver, festival follower, or something entirely different — Projekt Glitter will add a positive vibe to every party. (Text: Emilie Wade / Photos: Emilie Wade, Projekt Glitter)

The holiday season is right around the corner, and there’s no better time than now to be inspired to do something different. To spend your money on something less material, more charitable. Thanks to the 24 Good Deeds advent calendar, you can give yourself, or someone else, the gift of goodness. From a donation of just €24, you will get a simple, tree-shaped advent calendar with 24 windows — one for each day leading up to Christmas. Behind each window, you’ll see how your donation will help finance projects across environmental and nature conservation, health, education, and nutrition, implemented on the ground by aid organizations worldwide — scouted and trusted by 24 Good Deeds. From organic agriculture training for young farmers in Mexico to a daily fruit ration for endangered monkeys in Peru, since 2011 24 Good Deeds has gathered €966,000 to support 144 different projects in 55 countries: treating 72,000 people medically, providing 333,300 meals, and protecting 600,000 square meters of rainforest. It’s never too late to give a gift that keeps on giving. (Text: Devan Grimsrud / Photos: Sabine Scheer Fotodesign, Emilie Wade)
