Green Options

Well, it finally feels like summer has really begun.  With bathing suits, bare feet and less clothing a typical part of our daily lives, even the mind set changes.  We crave cool fruity drinks, a quiet moment in the sun (or shade, whichever you prefer) and a sultry, musky scent.  Ok, as for that last one, it may not be exactly what comes to mind when you conjure up a summer’s day.  But Lavanila Pure Vanilla Healthy Fragrance ($56) is the perfect match for warm skin and relaxed living.

A blend of Madagascar vanilla, freesia petal, patchouli and heliotrope, the frangrance is made of pure essential oils.  This delicious, slightly-spicy scent mellows when it soaks into the skin.  Leaves you with a lovely, warm, natural fragrance that lasts all day.

With blizzards and airport delays, there’s no doubt about it - winter has arrived.

Fortunately, the new vanilla coconut moisturizing body balm ($25) from LaVanila combines luscious coconut, creamy sandalwood and madagascar vanilla to creates a scent that preserves the feeling of a so cal summer. It also comes packed with vitamins to nourish your skin.
