My kitchen skincare experiment ended with a glitter explosion

I decided to add biodegradable glitter to a homemade moisturizer for a fun glow effect. Now my entire treatment room sparkles, and I found glitter in my coffee this morning. Clients keep asking if I’ve been at a festival, which is kinda embarrassing. Any easy ways to clean this up or should I just embrace the sparkle life?

Ugh, glitter is the herpes of craft supplies, it never truly goes away!

My cousin's wedding had biodegradable glitter as confetti. Six months later, I was still finding specks of it in my car's air vents. I opened the sun visor last week and a single, defiant piece fluttered down onto the dashboard. It's a permanent part of the interior now.

Is this actually a crisis or just a minor mess? Glitter gets everywhere but it's BIODEGRADABLE so it won't hurt anything. Clients joking about festivals might just be making small talk, not judging you. A good vacuum pass should grab most of it, or yeah, lean into the sparkle. I've seen worse disasters in my day and this seems pretty tame. Honestly, a little glitter never ruined anyone's life.

My shop vac on max suction grabbed 90% of the glitter (the rest just adds character, honestly). A damp microfiber cloth caught the stubborn bits stuck to hard surfaces.
