Latest Obsession
Sandblasted Tea Mugs from Stash

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!

Food For Thought

“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

Home Spa Rituals
Lavender- Honey Milk Bath

3 tbsp. Dried Lavender Flowers*
1 1/2 cups Whole Milk or Buttermilk
1/3 cup Honey

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)

Announcing the launch of our African Adventures Collection

September 1, 2010

I traveled to Africa six times over the past two years, studying the natural botany and beauty traditions of village juju’s and native women. Through Ghana, Morocco, Mali, Egypt and Uganda, I’ve observed essential oil distillations, listened at the feet of village chiefs and cheered on women in war-torn lands who are harvesting and processing shea butter as a means to escape abject poverty. I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Bella Lucce’s new African Adventures Collection. The culmination of over 60,000 miles traveled, 23 planes ridden and dozens of hours in cars along rutted clay roads in transit to remote village, these eight innovative products are a celebration of the richness of indigenous cultures, incorporating a stunning array of natural oils, fruits and extracts rarely seen in the American cosmetics market. Handmade bogolan soap wraps from Mali. Colorful woven display baskets from Uganda. Rare oils from Kenya, South Africa and Morocco. Out of the wilds of Africa, we invite you to join us on an African Adventure!
