 
 The weather is finally cooling, which means that our Tuscan Wine Therapy Collection is in high production in the Bella Luccè kitchens. I am often greeted by the alluring aroma of crisp red wine as I open the door to my office (thanks to the products, not because the staff is hitting the bottle while I am away), and- let me tell you- that aroma is pleasantly addictive. Exhibit A: our Bacchus Body Oil. Cleverly disguised in miniature wine bottle, the emerald glass holds a luscious body oil that harnesses the power and aroma of burgundy grapes. Slather it on daily after showering to lock in moisture or try it as a silky massage oil for those nights by the roaring fires. Even Bacchus (the Roman god of wine and intoxication) would be proud. 
 Confession: This isn’t so much a “latest” obsession, but an ongoing obsession that I was startled to realize I have not yet shared with my gentle readers. Introducing Leg Shine by Michael Kors, or- as my husband calls it- “Lela’s Leg Deodorant.” All kidding aside, this silky stick glides on effortlessly- try it on legs, arms and dècolletage. In its wake you’ll find a divine aroma, a thin veil of moisture and a subtle, sexy shimmer. Not exactly the “I just rolled myself in glitter” effect….let’s let the teenagers of America reclaim that look. This is subtle, yet sumptuous. Loves it. 
Just for fun & completely anonymous, who are Bella Lucce clients voting for in November? 
Brimming with potent antioxidants that wage war on the free radicals responsible for aging, pomegranate seed oil is also rich in ellagic and punicic acids, which are reknowned for their ability to increase skin elasticity as they moisturize and protect dry skin. It takes 200+ pounds of fresh pomegranates to yield one pound of costly pomegranate seed oil. Find it in: Spiced Pomegranate & Yogurt Detox, Nourishing Sandalwood & Almond Creme

Dry, chapped lips are an unfortunate reality of winter. Thankfully, outrageously priced lip scrubs don’t have to be. You can recreate a simple version of those department store concoctions at home- for a fraction of the price. For less than a nickel per application, you can use this handy little tip to help loosen and gently remove dead skin for a Pitt-worthy pucker. Take a pinch of brown sugar and gently rub onto moistened lips (don’t attempt this dry or you’ll risk raw, overly exfoliated lips). Rinse with warm water and immediately apply chapstick. I do this routine several times per week throughout autumn and winter and it yields beautiful results in seconds!

A Trip To…Om Day SpaAugust 3, 2005
Opened this past spring by a team of medical doctors with an obvious penchant for detail, Om has met with immediate success. Their eye for style and detail is pronounced throughout the spa in the numerous “extra touches” Om provides to each and every client, including a selection of Tea Forte teas in the relaxation room and individual iPods that hold hundreds of music titles. The eleven treatment rooms offer clients an incredible array of unique options. In addition to traditional spa treatments, Om’s menu includes numerous unique pedicure and body exfoliation rituals that incorporate Bella Luccè signature products, including their Fruit Of The Earth Wrap ($95), Thai Body Masque & Scrub ($95) and the Floral Foot Fetish Pedicure ($65). Claire O’Reilly, spa director, has dubbed Bella Luccè’s chocolate collection as one of her favorite lines, and they’re often enjoyed by Om clients as part of their popular Dutch Chocolate Indulgence Pedicure ($65). Clients can extend their spa experience with a variety of top-of-the-line luxury products from Om’s extensive retail boutique, including selections from Murad, Deep Steep, Sundari and Erbaviva. Interspersed amongst the Asian-inspired decadence are some of the industry’s latest technological developments, including state-of-the-art vichy showers, microderm abrasion treatments and a laser hair removal system. From the simplest manicure to a full day of indulgent pampering, Om Day Spa delivers a soothing retreat with modern day conveniences for an unforgettable experience. Phone: Hours:
