When I was buying my dress for New Year's Eve at Stella McCartney in London I had to use the washroom. Look what I found. ECOVER. And what most definitely felt like recycled toilet papier. It is good to see Ms. McCartney's commitment to the environment extends to the products she uses in her bathroom as well as her designs (she chooses not to use leather or animal skins). And, her UK stores are powered by Ecotricity.
Three verifiable things about me. One. I am an only child. The concept of sharing, therefore, is foreign to me. Two. I am a Virgo. The sign regarded as a perfectionist. Three. My mother raised me to be meticulously clean; compulsively tidy. According to my mother, "You have taken this clean thing way too far." I disagree. Apologies to my mother.
Nature or nurture? Who knows? Who cares? I have not been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Nor would I label myself a Cleanaholic. Or a Germaphobe. My world though, is definitely a unique place. One where doors open magically. Hotel mattresses are pristine. And estheticians never double dip.
I live in this world without a bubble or a honeycomb mask. About 15 years ago I got tired of catching the flu du jour and became ever more so hygienically vigilant -- perhaps obsessively so.
