Latest Obsession
Chocolate Covered Strawberries

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. :)

African Shea Butter

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.

Find it in: Vanilla Coconut Whipped Shea, Pumpkin Glow, Norwegian Oceanic Salt Rub
