As soon as they are born, the love affair begins and lasts a lifetime.

I Naturali soaps from Italy

In Italy, there remains a respect for many of the "old ways". Go up the hill and find Nona sitting in the shade of the large chestnut tree. Tell her your skin is chapped. She’ll walk you over to the flower garden, probably pick some marigolds, squeeze the petals together so the oils escape and tenderly apply it to your skin. Dry no more! Or perhaps the sun has made your skin sensitive and tender. Tell Nona. This time she’ll take you to the vegetable garden, probably return with some vibrant green lettuce, extract the mineral rich water and gently wipe it on. Presto, the sting is gone! Nona knows.

I Naturali is a line of soaps utilizing the natural properties of plants, natural extracts or flowers to gently clean and nurture the skin. The old remedies are still the best.

see the selection, and put a few in your wicker basket. http://bellarenata.biz/collections/inaturali.html

I Classici, perfumes for young ladies

Our young daughters are at the in-between age when they still want to smell pretty but they’ve outgrown toddler products and adult lines are too sophisticated. What to do? We need to supply them with something youthful. Fresh. Pure. And innocent. May we recommend one of these fragrances, made with only the finest natural extracts and essential oils?

Rose:

She’s moving through the rose garden, remaining on the stepping stone path, inspecting each flower. She closely cradles each one, avoiding the thorns, and inhales. She carefully picks one, brings it to you and you realize she’s been perfumed herself.

Lavender:

Their hair bounces as they run through the lavender fields, playing tag with the flowering stalks. In between peals of laughter is the hum of peaceful bees as they drift from flower to flower, collecting pollen for the beekeeper’s prized lavender honey. You marvel at the youthful beauty of your daughter as you hug her, and she’s beautifully fragrant from the fields.

Violet:

The butterflies are floating across the garden of violets and she’s trying to get one to land on her hand. As she chases them, she’s brushing through flowers, one after another. Soon, she’s as sweet smelling as if a violet herself, and the butterflies land, one on her finger and one in her hair.

Erbario Toscano http://lerbariotoscano.com/

Every visitor to Tuscany says there was something that touched them. It’s not just the light, the food, the wine, the smell of the air and the earth. These elements combine to create a…mood. It’s the mood of Tuscany that seeps into our soul and our dreams. If you can’t be in Tuscany, why not let Tuscany come to you? It will with these beautiful products from Erbario Toscano.

Olive Oil
Many olive oil aficionados claim that the world’s best comes from Tuscany. We agree. And it’s not just good on the inside; it works wonders on the outside as a healthful moisturizing component to your skin and hair care regime. When it comes to olive oil, this line is the best of the best.

Red Wine
The dreamscape of Tuscany is crisscrossed with vineyards. Much of it goes into wine, but some of those magnificent red grapes go into this line of beauty products that nourishes your skin and hair…and smelling like you’re crushing grapes barefoot in Tuscany is a wonderful added extra!

Rose
Is any flower more complex than the rose? Whether sweet or spicy, white or pink or purple, the rose is always involved with affairs of the heart. So, from Erbario Toscano, enjoy a Tuscan romance.

Orange and Cinnamon
Ever compare prosciutto from Tuscany with one from Parma? The Tuscan is spicier. Likewise, many Italian fragrances contain citrus, but with the addition of cinnamon…ah, now we’re conjuring up the land of the Renaissance.

White Musk
A classic scent with specific aromatherapy benefit (positive mental energy and self image) that was once the perfume of choice for emperors and kings. Helps you keep it together while you rule your own kingdom.

Lavender
Calming. Slows things down. Helps practice the Italian philosophy of “pazienze” (as in, “take it slowly, Pricinina”). Relaxing.

Vetiver and Rum by Helan, out of Genoa, Italy

An appetite for discovery and daring lies at the heart of Genoa's seafaring history, when her great merchant navies traversed the oceans in search of luxurious goods and returned with them to Italy's beautiful Ligurian Coast. Helan's Vetiver and Rum men's line combines the excitement of mysterious adventure with the seductiveness of the Italian Riviera. Haitian vetiver, rum, jasmine, mimosa and black pepper create a spicy and unique fragrance designed for the man not afraid to be noticed.

Monoi de Tahiti

There was no returning to the Bounty for Fletcher Christian and his men after they were exposed to Tahiti’s brilliant colors, her intoxicating fragrances, and the warmth of her caressing sun. Remaining true to local Polynesian tradition, Helan combines the Tiare flower with coconut, and then enriches it with Tamanu oil to create the wonder Monoi de Tahiti line. Nice to use on the beach in Tahiti, Portofino or Southampton.

You can return to “civilization” later.
