When I think spring, I think of strawberries. And when I think of strawberries, I think of the big-as-my-fist models, dipped in milk chocolate and drizzled with white chocolate, sprinkled with nuts, dashed with coconut and studded with chocolate chips. Exhibit A: Shari’s Berries. They’re my never-fail, go-to gift and they always draw raves. Birthdays, thank you’s, anniversaries, apologies…there’s never a bad time to send a box, Hell, just send a box to yourself. :) 
Two weeks and $10,000 to kill. Where to? 
Revered for centuries by the women of Africa, shea butter is a renowned skin soother. Obtained from the karite nuts of a tree native to the West African tropics, the supple butter’s high concentration of fatty acids gives it the ability to deeply moisturize and retain the elasticity of the skin, while also protecting against the damaging effects of the sun. Bella Luccè is proud to use organic shea butter imported from the Ghana in our product collection.

Mumbai- Inspired Summer LemonadeMay 29, 2009A few years ago, my mother and I were traveling abroad and we discovered the world’s most perfect lemonade in Mumbai, India. I’ve been on a quest to recreate it ever since and I’ve come dangerously close to succeeding. Here’s my recipe- splash of of vodka optional. :)
12 lemons Place two cups water and two cups sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat and stir occasionally. Bring to a boil and allow to continue- stirring constantly- for 1 minute. Fill the pitcher with remaining eight cups water and add the simple syrup mixture you just created. Juice all twelve lemons into a measuring cup to yield approximately two cups of lemon juice. Strain seeds and add to pitcher. Add 1/4 cup of lemonade to a blender and toss in a handful of fresh mint sprigs. Blend on high until leaves are pureed into teeny-tiny pieces. Pack a tall glass full of ice, fill with lemonade and add one teaspoon of mint mix. Stir well and serve with a lemon slice garnish! This recipe yields 3 quarts. I realize that’s a small avalanche of lemonade, but it goes quickly in my house and we’ve purchased a larger-than-average pitcher to accomodate the demand. Enjoy! printer friendly |
