Malie Mango Nectar Luxe Cream Soap instantly transports you to that first step off of the tarmac once you hit Hawaii. This luxury cleansing bar (isn’t there just something about a bar?) is creamy, dreamy, smooth and leaves you and your shower smelling of sweet mango-y goodness. Skin is left soft and lightly scented.

Enriched with the hydrating properties of Kukui Nut, Macadama Nut and Coconut Oils, this easy to grip bar moisturizes and nourishes skin. Malie fruit and flower hydrosols add exquisite, pure scent and aromatherapeutic power to this luscious hand and body cleanser. Also comes in koke’e (a crisp, green scent), coconut vanilla, plumeria, and pikake (Hawaiian Jasmine).

Eco Friendly Beer. I Mean Bar - Part Two

I like beer. I like pubs.

I guess that is why I am still talking about eco-friendly coasters. As I mentioned before we are doing some research on eco-friendly coasters for Intrepid Travel and now that research has lead me to cork coasters.

And this is the thing, cork has been around forever. According to the dictionary the origin of the word itself dates from between 1275–1325 AD.

This is an old material, but how many of us think of it as a green material? Hemp and Jute have also been around for a long, long time and they are considered green. Why not cork?

The thing that got me thinking about this are these core coaster from Americanna. When I asked Americanna if they had an eco-friendly coaster they immediately came back with cork.
