In another round of admiring our majestic planet, we bring you these breathtaking photos from Cap Formentor, the northernwestern most tip of Mallorca, one of Spain's Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean. The road to the Formentor lighthouse boasts a number of lookout with stunning views. The steep winding road is popular with cyclists and is only accessible by public transport up to a certain point making it an eco-friendly destination in our view.

When you travel, take a break from lounging at the beach and go explore the land to be awed and inspired.

La Cuevas del Drach:
A work of art carved by nature
Our planet is beautiful and full of wonders. Go out there and experience it for the sake of your mental wellbeing. Travelling is great for mental wellbeing as research shows that new experiences improve brain function and boost your mental health. Travelling is also enriching, exposing you to new surroundings and wonders that you never imagined.

A visit to La Cuevas del Drach on the east coast of the beautiful Spanish Island of Mallorca had me reflecting about the positive impact of adventures and about all the things that we can learn through the exploration of our planet. These adventures can lead to personal growth — enhancing emotional agility, empathy, and creativity and they can ground you by making you realise how you are just a speck of dust in a this beautiful vast, and complex world.

Dated to about 5.3 million years ago, the Drach (dragon) caves were formed during the upper Miocene period. The rocks were formed by minerals such as Calcite or Aragonite (CaCO3). Rainwater seeping through the cracks sculpt the caves over time, by dissolving the Calcite and Aragonite rocks upon contact. Extending for almost 1,200 metres in length, and reaching a maximum depth of 25 metres below ground level, the caves conceal several underground lakes, the largest being Lake Martel. The cool temperatures ranging between 17° and 21° gave a delightful respite from the Mallorcan heat. A short classical concert performed by a quartet (two violins, cello and harmonium), on a fleet of small row boats, aided by the enhanced the acoustic of the caves added to the serenic atmosphere.

So you see, It is good sometimes to escape from the mundane and experience something outwordly and awe inspiring.

Did you know that plants like cactus 🌵 could be used to make leather?

Sustainable fashion brands like Ikon Sweden and DriiBe featured in our eco-store are using animal-free alternatives, including coconut, cork and cactus to make leather. And, according to environmentally conscious experts like the folks at treehugger.com, Cactus leather is completely sustainable.

The bio-based material used to make cactus leather is lauded for its breathability, making it a perfect vegan leather option to make handbags, shoes, apparel, and furniture. Apparently, even Mercedes-Benz has used leather alternatives, including cactus, to the interior of one of their concept electric car.

Cactus leather is made directly from the nopal cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) also known as the prickly pear or Indian fig optunia, which is widely available and fast-growing without the need for pesticides, making it sustainable and organic.

The farming practices of Desserto, the only manufacturer of cactus leather are eco-friendly; they are certified organic and use only rainfall to water the crops avoiding the use of excess water.

Head to the link in our bio to browse through the vegan leather collection in our eco store!
