 
If you thought playing in mud was just for kids, we encourage you to reconnect with your inner child and rethink those priorities. Our Sandalwood Infused Dead Sea Mud, part of our new Arabian Odyssey Collection, will cleanse and detoxify as the rich aroma of pure sandalwood soothes the mind. Child’s play? We think not. 
As the slightest hint of a chill hits the air here in South Carolina, I find myself thinking of autumn and warm boots…specifically THESE boots from Frye via Anthropologie. They will set you back quite a significant chunck of change, but Frye boots are a special kind of tough and should last damn near forever. I am still trying to reconcile why I cannot eat a steak but I can rock a fine pair of leather boots. My conscience is conflicted, but a girl can dream, no? 
As the summer winds down, how are you feeling? 
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!

The dreaded “P” wordJuly 1, 2008When people realize what I do for a living, they typically have a few questions. More often than not, their first question is “how did you get started doing THAT?” I realize that starting a beauty company from your kitchen is a bit atypical and I usually launch into a monologue about my personal health history and a serious health scare from my sister. These brushes with destiny were the catalyst for my journey down the path of scrutinizing labels and ultimately deciding that I could do it better myself. I have previously been reluctant to discuss those details in depth as I have a hard time respecting companies who sell their products based on fear mongering. I want you to love Bella Luccè for who we are and what we do, not because you’re frightened that products from other companies will mean imminent death. Nevertheless, I have decided to elaborate on why I started this company and that dreaded “p” word. If you feel so moved, I invite you to read my view regarding parabens in personal care products. I have attempted to sort the facts from the speculation and the fear-mongering from genuine concern on a rather prickly issue that gets the blood of industry-insiders boiling faster than almost any other. I’d love to hear your feedback- send your thoughts to thebuzz@bellalucce.com. printer friendly |
