Each one is a dry powder that you can mix in 30 seconds or less with pantry ingredients to create a fresh, totally customized treatment especially for your skin type. It’s super-simple and no-mess, with instructions right on the jar. My personal favorite? Strawberries & Creme.

 Regular readers will likely know that I am obsesses with tea. And I don’t mean mildly obsessed. I fuel my addiction regularly with new tea varieties and teaware, but this particular tea-to-go mug is my favorite. Crafted of ceramic, it boasts double walls which help the tea stays hotter longer and also means it isn’t uncomfortable to hold, even when freshly filled. I love the bold graphic design and the sandblasting adds texture making it even easier to grip. Snatch one up for just $12 at Stash and take your morning pick-me-up on the road! 
Crushed Freshwater Pearls: Celebrated by Asian women and ancient Chinese pharmacopoeia for more than 3,000 years, pearl powder has a rich history and a myriad of legendary tales about its use at the Imperial Palace. Created by pulverizing real freshwater pearls, it is reputed to boost skins brightness and is rich in both amino acids and trace minerals. 
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma- which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs 
3 tbsp. Dried Lavender Flowers* Process lavender flowers in a blender until they become a powder, turning off the blender and scraping down the sides as necessary. Whisk together lavender powder, milk, and honey in a glass bowl, then pour into a jar. Before each use, shake the jar and pour half of the mixture into the bath. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Makes enough for 2 baths. *Dried lavender flowers can be found in the spice section of gourmet and specialty stores.

It’s good to be home…March 24, 2008The kids and I just returned from a week of fun in New York City. Life has been more hectic than I care to admit for the last few months and it was great to spend some quality time together. We did it up right, with a tour of NBC Studios, an appearance in the audience of the Today Show (did you see us last Sunday?), a divine chocolate lunch at Max Brenner’s, shopping at FAO Schwarz, the famous NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade, ice skating in Central Park, a private workshop with a Broadway composer and a choreographer to give the kids a taste of acting in musical theater, three great Broadway shows (The Little Mermaid, Wicked and- our favorite- Young Frankenstein), dinner at the fantastically elegant NYC Buddha Bar, jaunts to Little Italy and Chinatown, visits to Ground Zero, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Bodies Exhibition at South Street Seaport, the American Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Times Square. Whew! We were also lucky enough to meet up with Nadia, our NYC-based brand consultant for Bella Luccè and it was so great to have her finally meet my children. Our grand finale was a pajama party- complete with divine room service desserts and a giant pot of hot chocolate- at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. The girls look rather excited about those desserts, no? It was an awesome trip, but I am very glad to be home…  While I was out, Abby and Melanie held down the office beautifully and polished off our massive product launch. I hated not to be with the staff on our big day, but I did have my dear friend, Teri from Blue Flour, drop off a nice bottle of champagne and an assortment of maple pecan cheesecake squares, lemon poppyseed tarts and mini chocolate cups brimming with mousse. She is a dessert goddess. Judging by your response, you’re loving those new products as much as we are and we couldn’t be happier to hear your enthusiasm. Our free Starter Kit offer (see below) is still available…get ‘em while they last! Tagsprinter friendly |
