Everything is certified organic, created by the founder of Aveda (WHO IS INTELLIGENT NUTRIENTS?) and the products all that ultra-pure-essential-oil-of the earth chemical free smell. I especially love going to sleep with this exact kind of product on my face.  

And you know I go nuts over a great packaging.  And the bottles are – hark! – real glass!

This line is VERY VERY VERY COOL. LA ROCCA.

Created by Laura DeLuisa, the force behind the $10 million dollar company DuWop, (can you say, “I created LIP VENOM” …? Yah, me neither…), LA ROCCA was born when both of Laura’s kidney’s went into total failure.  This life-altering event launched her quest for natural healing via 24K gold.  She made it her mission to create a collection of age-defying potions that utilize the power of gold while promoting a better environment.  

I’m just now getting into the stuff.  I’m loving the 24K GOLD EXFOLIATING CLEANSER.  And I’m looking foward to trying the 24K C GOLD GEL cuz I love me some gels.

Just take a look at what’s inside this yum cleanser…

Cellular Gold Complex an exclusive formula made with 24K Colloidal Gold which is known to promote electron transfer with the metal ions found in the skin to stimulate anti-aging cell turnover.

Diatomaceous Earth gently and quickly exfoliates to smooth and soften skin texture.

Orange Peel Oil gently moisturizes and energizes the skin.

Green Tea Extract, a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, defends against free radicals, leaving your skin hydrated, smooth and radiant.

Fulvic Acid, a natural source of approximately 60 bio-available minerals and nutrients, restores electrical balance to damaged cells and neutralizes toxins, resulting in optimum skin health.

Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-6 stimulates collagen growth, improving firmness and elasticity.

Aloe contains 8 of the 13 recognized vitamins, including important antioxidants A, C and F and provides 20 of the 22 necessary amino acids required by the human body.

Chamomile Extract conditions the skin and helps retain moisture. It contains phenolic derivatives, which have antiseptic and healing qualities, azulene, which helps in reducing puffiness and cleans the clogged pores of the skin.

YUM YUM GIMME SOME…MALIE ORGANICS

Malie Organics ingredients range from cultivated organic harvests to the rare wild-crafted plants of our rainforests. All of our ingredients are sustainable grown, ensuring constant renewal. We draw on the talent and time-honored traditions of local artisans to create our products. Malie Organicsi is dedicated to strengthening our Hawaiian way of life, so we can continue to share the gifts of paradise with you.

There a few scents I go nuts over:

Plumeria, lemongrass, ginger, coconut and vanilla (I'll never out grow them, sorry!) and Fracas perfume.

When I heard about the delicious, fresh, organic line MALIE from Hawaii, I knew I had to sample some stuff.  And sample I have.  I keep the ORGANIC PLUMERIA MIST  on my desk, next to my laptop and spray it on me, and into the air all day. I'm like a crazy spritzer. It makes me feel so CLEAN, it's like taking a shower, ten times a day.

Infuse the essence of paradise in your life with Malie's all in one Organic Aroma Mist. As a perfume these Hawaiian Hydrosol infused distillations are unique, subtle and fresh. Use on linens or in the air to transcend to the islands. Malie's Organic ingredients help save our environment one spray at a time.

The other product I'm ga-ga for is this ridiculous LEMONGRASS ORGANIC BODY POLISH. It feels like someone whipped it up in their kitchen just for me. The only problem with these scrubs is I have to ration my use of them cuz I would use it all in like…two showers if I could.  Note to self: order three bottles next time…

Here's a bit about them…Check out other divine organics from their line…

Organic Hawaiian wildcrafted lilikoi and organic lemongrass… therapeutic botanicals rescue skin from fatigue and daily stress by reducing swelling and puffiness and stimulating blood flow. Pure Lilikoi Hydrosol and Lemongrass Essential Oil work together to uplift the spirit and balance, firm and refine skin.  Lilikoi, the bright yellow sister to the purple passion fruit, creates balance and promotes well being. Delicately fragrant lilikoi hydrosols reduce stress and calm the mind and emotions.  Famous for its therapeutic power, lemongrass firms, cleanses and refines skin as it reduces toxins and fluid retention. It’s bright citrus scent is a staple of aromatherapy, used to balance and strengthen the nervous system and help the body recover from stress.

OH! As you know I only write about TOP GRADE STUFF, companies committed to making the best stuff possible, so… read this:

I'm already an obsessive fan of anything by Yon-ka.  They could put out a dog food and I'd eat it.

Luckily, they make the finest skin care products on earth.  So this won't be happening anytime soon.

BUt seriously, I literally cannot get enough of their serums as it is…now they've come out with this, a duo Serum and Creme that cuts to the chase of everything else on my shelves…

It's hot off the press, and just came out this month.  I'll be listing stores in LA that sell it…

Read all about it below.

Even though this does the trick for all my anti-aging needs, I'm still nuts over anything and everything they make and will not give up that dab a little of something, a serum, a cream, anything(!) every time I go to bathroom.  OH, I also keep the serums in my coin holder in my car and I'm not giving that up either…Sorry!

Oh, and it's selling for $140 in spas nationwide, that's for two products, so it's totally wallet friendly.

YON-KA Advanced Optimizer:



It's a firming  & lifting program, a duo of Serum and Creme (packaged together), you apply the serum first, then layer the creme on top (to face and neck).

What's unique about it is that it uses the  groundbreaking technology of pure flower peptides, which no other skincare line uses.

Hibiscus flower peptides in the Serum have been proven to increase collagen production 23% (that's crazy  high!) And increase production of GAGs(Glycosaminoglycans) by  294%.
White Lupine peptides in the Creme have been proven to slow down  the breakdown of the support tissues in the dermis.

Both products also contain Hyaluronic Acid (very hydrating), horsetail  extract (firming), and marine collagen (fills out superficial lines  and wrinkles). The Serum also contains soy peptides (help the support  tissue) and the Creme has milk proteins and shea butter (very  nourishing).
So you're increasing production of collagen and other support tissues while slowing down their breakdown – talk about  turning back time!

On top of it, your skin is left super  hydrated, smoothed out and nourished.

Advanced Optimizer is $140 in spas nationwide (2 products, so it's totally wallet friendly).

Ric Pipino, THANK YOU for introducing me to this phenomenal line of hair products.

MOROCCANOIL 

When does a hair product actually DO what it says it will?  Especially in the deep conditioning treatment department?  Uh, from my experience, next to never.
