 
 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. 
 Last month, at the IECSC show in Orlando, we met a handsome cowboy and his lovely bride from Louisiana. They were debuting their new earth-friendly, soy-based candles at the show and they kept us in stitches for a solid three days. We now affectionately call them “Cowboy” and “Mama” and nicer people you will never meet. I purchased several of Mama’s Heirloom Candles at the show and I am wishing I had grabbed a few more. Gorgeous, etched glass jars hold natural soy wax and a sparkling array of elegant fragrances. Since soy burns cool, you can pour the melted wax directly on the skin for a surprisingly soft skin conditioner. Cowboy grows soybeans himself, so a single purchase supports two of my favorite people on the planet. God bless cowboy…we miss you!

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 
“Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hate. It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.” -William Arthur Ward 
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!

Its time for a road trip!October 2, 2008Jenny, Jackie and I spent the morning loading up a rental truck with all the various sundries we’ll need to make our trade show debut at IECSC Orlando this weekend. What’s inside? 1,000 catalogues We’ve been planning for this trade show for more than five years and slaving away at the necessary preparations for months and I cannot explain what a relief it was to see that truck roll away.  Jenny and Jackie rolled into Orlando tonight and are (hopefully) spending an evening with their feet up before they begin setting up our booth tomorrow. I’ll fly into the city late tomorrow, just in time for a glass of wine and a quick sleep before we officially kick off the Orlando adventure. Don’t they look like two fun chicks to travel with?  printer friendly Comments |
