For some people, loving nature is a full-time job.
For you, however, it’s more of a hobby.
Sure, when you see how they paved paradise, it brings you down. But it beats parking three blocks away. And it’s not that you don’t have a deep-seated respect for all living things — you’ll pick up any lonely mutt — but sometimes strappy leather sandals need a good home, too.
Don’t worry. You’re not alone in your struggle.
Reform also is working to marry nature’s bounty with life’s little luxuries, and the jewelry company is doing a mighty fine job. Flora- and fauna-inspired charms like antlers, leaves, and sea horses mingle with Japanese keishi pearls, black coral, and pretty pink sapphire. And each piece is hand-hammered from gold or silver or carved from tiger ebony for an organic edge.
They may not make a total tree hugger out of you.
But you’ll be at least a little bit reformed.
