“The human race has been marching upward from the first ages of history. Under what law has that mighty procession of the ages taken place? Science and history both answer that man has advanced, step by step, from the ignorant and selfish rule of his lower brain organs uptoward the beneficent dominion of his higher faculties.

The laws which have controlled that vast upward movement are still in force. They are fixed in the very constitution of man. And they are of supreme importance at the present time, for they determine what new institutions and what social changes are now required to meet that higher growth of man.”

Good to know that Wallpaper Mag is spotlighting The good’ old Portuguese traditional products (in this case beauty products). These are becoming very “Fashionable” today and seen in the selective shops all around the world, something I wouldn’t imagine of when I first met Catarina Portas, who’s been collecting and re-collecting these forgotten and almost dead products that are part of our parents and grand-parents generation, under the name of Uma Casa Portuguesa. Beautiful Packaging. // (Retro passion aside) :)
