adara Gift!

Buy 2 Large adara oil & get a 3rd as your gift! $30 retail value!  No code is needed.  Just simply tell us what scent you would like in the comments section during check out.  We are obsessed with the multiple powers of adara.  I use it nightly on my face....a little goes a long way!  It soaks up the redness in my face, shrinks pores, makes my face less shiny during the next day, softens fine lines and helps heal pimples! Honestly -- what more could you ask for from a product.  The bonus is that it is natural, organic, fair trade, PEG free, Paraben free and more!  I'll be addicted to the healing powers of this product for the rest of my life. 

Are you afraid to put oil on your face?  Don't be!!!  European women have known the power of face oils for centuries.  I literally slather this oil on my face, neck and chest at night.  The gorgeous aromas lull me to sleep!  I have very oil skin.  Normally around 10:00 in the morning I have a shiny face. When I use adara the night before my face stays matte all day long.  Why?  Because my skin is getting the natural hydration it needs so my body doesn't over-produce oil during the next day. 

Also, the natural anti-bacterial powers of coconut oil help heal and prevent pimples.  The natural anti-inflammatory powers help get rid of redness...and of course the hydrating powers help firm skin!  It's a work-horse! 

Added benefits are that you can use it for conditioning hair treatments, to tame fly aways, as a massage oil, as a bath oil and of course a body oil.

Remember that untainted coconut oil will solidify in colder temperatures.  Simply run under hot tap water to liquify.  adara likes warmth like we do!

Customer Reviews

As ironic as it may seem, I only became an online shopper within the past year or so. I always agreed with Carrie Bradshaw's famous quote from Sex and the City “shopping is my cardio” when she was asked whether or not she shopped online.  What finally altered my thinking about online shopping was the amount of customer reviews that were now plastered all over the web....

My Travel Beauty Companion

My constant beauty travel companion is adara!  $12.  It comes in Lavender, Jasmine, Peach, Green Tea, Rose and Unscented.  It's my work-horse beauty product that is super multi-functional and effective.  I'm ready to pack my bags again this weekend to head to NY in search of new brands for our customers.  adara always goes in my carry on bag!  The travel size is TSA approved so no worries about them tossing it in the trash during security check through.  What do I use it for?  Everything!  I use it to wash my face (without water), remove my eye makeup, moisturize my face and body, repair my cuticles, heal my dry lips overnight, tame hair fly aways, to relax in a hot, fragrant oil bath at night and more!  While I love choosing from an array of beauty products, carry-on travel these days can be challenging for the beauty-junkie.  I can always rely on adara to keep my skin healthy, clear and glowing while I'm away.  And it makes me feel great knowing that I'm putting on my skin 99.9% organic, fair trade coconut oil! 

Afraid to put oil on your face?  I was too!

Clark's Botanicals Skin Clearing Face & Body Wash

Without a doubt, the very first item that will be on my “staff picks” list will be Clark's Botanicals Skin Clearing Face & Body Wash. I have never put much importance on cleansers in the past and used to often pair a very luxurious serum or moisturizer with a generic drugstore cleanser, never really thinking that step mattered. This all changed the first time I used this Clark's Botanicals cleanser.  My skin has been clear since the first week I used this product....

Kiss Down Under

For 5 years we've been huge fans of Apivita's Multi-Gyn.  We hadn't found a personal hygiene wash that was more loved by women!  Since the Fall Apivita Multi-Gyn hasn't been available in the US.  Our fingers are still crossed that it will be available again, but we've searched high and low for something even better!  We found it!  Kiss Down Under (imported from Australia) is natural, Organic, PH Balance and Carbon Neutral.  Hard to find that kind of combination!  Both men and women will love these products.  You can feel good about applying such organic and natural ingredients on your body...

Love + Toast

"Philosophy:  Pretty is as Pretty does..."....we LOVE Love and Toast!  It's an adorable new line from the creator of Lollia and Tokyo Milk, Margo Elena.  Sweet, playful, pretty packaging encasing lovely gems of enticement.  Lip Balms, Roller Ball Perfumes, Spray Perfumes, Mini Luxe Perfumes & Hand Creams.  A sweet way to treat yourself!  $9 to $32.  We've simply fallen in love with Margot's beautiful designs and attention to details.  And it goes without saying that her scents are simply sublime.... 

Massage Wrinkles Away

I recently went for a facial and the aesthetician told me about the importance of daily facial massage to get rid of wrinkles.  It's a super simple at-home treatment we can do day and night.  It only takes about 60 seconds, but really makes a difference.  Deep massage directly into wrinkles helps relax those muscles.  Whatever cream, oil or serum you choose to use after gently massaging into your skin...take a little more care around your wrinkles by deeply massaging them apart.  Use the tips of your fingers on your forehead to massage apart those deep lines...

Meet b-glowing:

Erika here! This is my first entry to our blog and I’m a little overexcited to have an outlet to share my ever-evolving beauty obsessions. I’m sure my friends are breathing a sigh of relief knowing that now I won’t steer every happy hour or dinner conversation to the imperative fact that I have a new face cream or fashionable nail color. I am always looking for fun new products to change up my look or change the way I take care of my body...

Welcome to our Blog!!

Welcome to our new blog!  Ok -- so we're behind the times.  It took us a while:)  Well, better late than never, right?  My colleagues and I will be writing about our favorite things, likes ,dislikes, ideas, travels, foods, music, fashion and so much more!  We're an ecclectic bunch here at b-glowing with ecclectic tastes.  Some days you'll find out blogging about our new favorite beauty product...other days it will be about some new Korean food we just tried or some cool new destination we've gone too.  If you like to try new things -- this is the place to share your ideas...

The Holy Grail!

I found it!  The Holy Grail of skin care for me!  The kaplan MD Perfecting Serum has changed my skin forever (well, as long as I keep using it!). I'm 43 with combination skin and prone to redness & breaking out.  This serum has transformed my skin!  All the redness is gone, my skin is luminious, bump free...and best of the best...my deep expression lines between my eyebrows and on my forehead and dramatically softened!
