These days, with the Body Shop owned by L'Oreal and a Lush on every High St, it's hard to recall what a major change the chain was when it started out. (Mostly) ethical products, campaiging against animal testing, good quality shampoo that didn't make me itch all over. Oh, and mostly cute staff friendly staff as well.

Then there was the whole putting your money where your mouth is thing, and the outspoken campaigning she put in. That she was ill was known, didn't know she was as ill as she was.

My humanism believes that the impact you have on the world and the legacy you leave is how you should be measured. By my measure, the cup floweth over.

Rest in peace Dame Anita.
