 Our innovative selection of 100% natural facial masques just got a facelift: we’ve tripled the size of each jar, while delivering a 60% savings. Tres fabulous, no? 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. Luscious strawberries blend with Argiletz rose clay and powdered buttermilk to create an amazing facial treatment that softens and renews tired skin as it boosts brightness. The perfect “perk me up” for you rksin this holiday season!

 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. (Recipe courtesy of the National Honey Board)

It is finished…June 25, 2008Hallelujah…Bella Luccè’s Fall 2008 product collection is done! This particular collection is near and dear to my heart as it draws upon a region of the world that I have a particular affinity for and have spent a good deal of time in. More details (including some fun contests for *free product*) are coming up soon, so stay tuned. This new collection will debut on our website August 14th and I can’t wait to share it with you. An extension of our recently-launched Luxe banner, all eight products (eight!) feature custom packaging embellishments, insanely exotic ingredients, sophisticated graphics and the sexiest, knock-your-socks-off aroma I’ve ever worked with. Good times are a’coming… I was a week late turning in the marketing copy for the labels to our graphic designer, thanks to my rather unfortunate camping adventure. I was determined to meet my new, extended deadline, which necessitated a late night writing spree that ended at 3am. I went to bed immensely proud of having finished up that project and awoke the next morning to recheck what I had written. Goodness gracious, that was some of the most outrageous copy in the history of the free world. It solicited far too many giggles at Monday’s staff meeting, so it was back to the drawing board for a few of them. Writing label copy is the last step of any product launch at Bella Luccè. It can only be initiated after concepts have been drafted, ingredients procured, packaging determined, product names are created and cleared and formulas have been developed, sampled and tested. That entire process usually takes 9-12 months, so birthing a new collection is tantamount to birthing a new baby. Except more painful. Only kidding- mine would have been far less painful had I not passed on the delightful assortment of narcotics they offered me during delivery. Be ye not so stupid. Anyway, it’s always a tremendously rewarding day when I hit “send” on the label copy, as it means we’re all downhill from there. The months of development in our office are finished and the workload shifts to the printers, photographers, web programmers and the like. Anywhere but on my desk is a personal relief. Woohoo!
