‘Tis that time of year again…Valentine’s Day draws ever closer. May we humbly suggest you shake things up a bit this year? Our Peruvian Chocolate Renewing Masque should do the trick. Brimming with potent antioxidants, real honey and luscious organic cocoa, it’s a little slice of heaven for the face and body. Just mix with warm milk to create a sinful masque that can be painted head-to-toe with the enclosed body brush. Perfect for sharing the romance this holiday- if you get my drift. 
 I am completely smitten with these amazing cards from Sakina Design. Each laser-cut card is a “modern intrepertation of traditional Islamic art.” Printed on recycled paper with soy-based inks, they also include 5 bi-lingual inserts to capture just the right sentiment…or write your own. Graphically stunning, I can’t wait to start sending them to my family and friends this holiday season! 
Two weeks and $10,000 to kill. Where to? 
Created in French Polynesia, this luscious oil is made by macerating Tiare flowers in pure coconut oil and leaving the mixture to steep for several weeks. The result is a serious skin hydrator with the natural aroma of tropical flowers. 
“The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority.” ~ Ralph W. Sockman 
The perfect remedy on a warm spring day, this softening mask utilizes our favorite skin treats from your pantry! 1/2 cucumber Toss peeled and deseeded cucumber into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add honey, cream and yogurt and blend for 45 more seconds. To use: massage mask onto freshly cleansed skin. Grab a good book and relax for 10-15 minutes. Splash face with cool water to remove. Store any remaining mask in a covered container in the refrigerator and use within 4 days.

I was in aroma heaven yesterday…· January 28, 2010 - Bella Luccè NewsFor a girl that’s completely smitten with aromas, a meeting with an essential oil company is a dream come true. I was lucky enough to visit an essential oil distillery in Khemisset, Morocco last September: we spent an afternoon in the fields discussing dozens of varieties of trees, shrubs and flowers grown in the region and then watched the live distillation of fresh geranium. That same company from Morocco sent a representative to our South Carolina office yesterday and I was thrilled to finally meet Patrice in person.  I was like a kid at Christmas when he whipped out several large cases filled with literally hundreds of vials of exotic essential oils. We spent an entire morning sniffing all kinds of goodies (think: iris absolute, Bulgarian rose absolute, vanilla absolute, black pepper essential oil) and swapping travel stories. Patrice told me about visiting the company’s Madagascar facility and watching lemurs jump from trees dripping with vanilla bean pods. Trip to Madagascar, anyone?  We’re working on a new product collection to debut this autumn and you just might be seeing some of these fabulous essential oils make their way into the products! Time Out Chicago· January 26, 2010 - Bella Luccè NewsBella Luccè was pleased to receive a plug recently from the infamous Time Out Chicago. One of our very favorite Chicago stockists, Chocolate For Your Body, is offering our luscious Peruvian Chocolate products for Valentine’s Day. Owner Normal Alanis “welcomes visitors with a menu more closely resembling a chocolatier than a spa.” We invite you to indulge in rich chocolate without adding a single inch to your hips…stop in and tell Alanis we said “hello!” Chocolate For Your Body Rain, rain…go away!· January 21, 2010 - General News Of NoteBeing a buddhist, I have a fabulous spiritual teacher known as a Gesha-la. He’s a tiny Tibetan man with an endearing spirit and more wisdom in his pinky than I have in my entire body. He also happen to make the most amazing chai tea in the history of the free world and- truth be told- that tea is half the reason I attend his talks. Being the lovely person that he is, he has shared the recipe and I love it make it at home on when the city is under siege of a dreary, rainy day. Today is such a day… Fair warning: it’s not fast, though it easy. But I promise you the results are worth the effort. Geshe Topgyal’s Chai Tea Excerpted from Geshe Topgyal’s book “Holistic Health: A Tibetan Monk’s View” New products on special + a FREE body wash!· January 15, 2010 - Bella Luccè NewsA new month brings new featured products to the website.
