LOVE THIS LIFE CLOTHING
|
| |
|
David Culiner launched his clothing company from his inspiration as both a musician and an artist. David has quite a following – Angelina Jolie, Hallie Berry, Bruce Willis, Cameron Diaz, Chris Rock, Willie Nelson, Sting, and the staff at Rituals Spa, just to name a few. Many of David’s clothing designs include the Love This Life Manifesto. People often ask us about it, so read it, cherish its great spirit and if you can- live it!
Love This Life's Manifesto:
Love this Life...
is about celebrating the moment
and that we're not guaranteed or owed another day
and how cool it is that what we hide
can actually be the fuel towards our glory
and that it's not so bad being proven wrong
LovethisLife...
is about welcoming the blind turn
and the possibility
that there's no such thing as coincidence
and that empathy is incredibly sexy
and that it's never too late
to pick up a guitar or a paintbrush
or to make an amend or to make a new friend |
LovethisLife...
could be about rekindling a past flame
or igniting a new one
or shapeshifting from a dreamer into a doer
or savouring the caress of a love long gone
LovethisLife...
means whatever it is you want it to mean because
LovethisLife...
is a celebration of you and your path
LovethisLife...
cuz it could go at any second
you rock.

JUARA
|
| |
|
JUARA is a unique fusion of natural Indonesian skincare treatments of ancient royalty and modern science. Utilizing high concentrations of pure and powerful active botanicals native to a lush tropical archipelago, JUARA's effective yet safe and gentle skincare line focuses on maintaining skin wellness, while feeling luxurious, elegant, and sensual to the touch.
Recognizing that present skincare offerings did not have solutions that were rooted in history and simple to use, four young friends sought to bring back the traditions of the past by creating products that fuse the active botanicals of Indonesian herbal recipes with Western science to create products that represent the best of both, the east and west.
Metta Murdaya, Yoshiko Roth, Jill Sung and Tami Chuang, four creative, culturally- diverse young women with a follow-your-dream mentality shared a vision to build a brand that combined their Western upbringing with their Asian ancestry and turned it into a passion for results-driven skincare. Together, they founded JUARA, an east-meets-west Indonesian line of treatments, reminiscent of the ancient spa experience, relevant to the savvy, conscientious person of today.
Utilizing active botanicals such as rice, tamarind, turmeric, candlenut oil, healing teas and red sandalwood, JUARA combines time-honored recipes for skin health and well-being with the best in modern technology and innovation to deliver efficacious and elegant treatments of the highest quality.

ZULUGRASS

This is the gift of opportunity! Zulugrass jewelry blossomed out of a severe drought that devastated Kenya's pasturelands and impacted the livelihood of the Maasai that live there. Katy and Philip Leakey found a solution by using the sustainable, natural resources around them. They designed contemporary, eco-chic products and utilized the beading skills of their neighbors, the Maasai women. Since Zulugrass is made from grass and glass beads strung on elastic, it can be worn multiple ways. With over 50 ways to wear necklaces, bracelets, anklets, hair accessories and more, Zulugrass is as creative as the individual who wears it!
- All products are handmade, using sustainable, natural resources such as grass or fallen wood.
- Your purchase brings work opportunity directly to the Maasai women of rural Kenya.

SUNFX
|
| |
|
Today SunFX has grown to become the world's number one professional spray-on tanning company. SunFX tanning products and solutions are now sold in the United States, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Spray tans are an absolute must for any big event. You won't experience any of the streaking, dirty knees or orange palm horrors because you will be hand sprayed by a licensed aesthetician.
In a time where our skin is exposed to an ever increasing number of harmful chemicals and artificial additives, it's good to know that one company is committed to producing 100% all natural tanning solutions. In fact, since their inception, SunFX has worked hard to ensure that their products remain the purest in the world.
To achieve this, they have created tanning solutions made from 100% all natural ingredients containing:
- NO Alcohols
- NO Perfumes
- NO Preservatives
- NO Parabans
- NO Oils
- NO Odors
Doesn't that sound better than roasting in the sun and dealing with the inevitable damage that comes from UVA/UVB ray exposure?
The secret to the success of SunFX tanning solutions lies in their clever, all natural formula, which combines highly purified water and natural bronzers, with the purest Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) available. The results are the most stunning, natural looking tans, free from chemicals and harmful additives.
Mother Nature has already provided us with the perfect ingredients, they have simply put them together.
Rituals offers a body treatment/scrub as a package with your spray tan, but if you choose to exfoliate on your own, do a good job because it will not only effect how your tan comes out, but also it can extend the length of your tan.
As you get hand sprayed, you will see a bronzer go right onto your skin. That is applied for two reason; one, so the aesthetician can see where she has sprayed and two, so you can walk out of here a bronze beauty. For 5-6 hours after that, the bronzer must stay on because underneath that the all natural spray tan is working with your skin to create a natural glow. Once the 5-6 hours has passed, shower the bronzer off and below you will find your new healthy tan!
Additionally, you can purchase tan extenders, exfoliators, body wash, body butters and shimmers to complete your look and extend & enhance your tan. Not to mention they have the most delightful tropical aroma and the smoothing results on your skin are incredible!

K. HALL DESIGNS
|
| |
|
Kelley Hall &John Barr are the dynamic-duo behind k.hall designs. She is the creative spirit; he's the businessman. She's the visionary; he's the planner. Together, Kelley Hall-Barr and her husband John Barr have succeed in building a beautiful and balanced business union called k hall designs, which specializes in aromatic bath, body and home care products including reed diffusers, candles, sheet sprays, perfumes, bath gels, salts, shea butter lotions and triple milled soaps made from high quality essential oils and other natural ingredients.
Soon to be celebrating its 12th anniversary, k.hall designs is located in a charming 1940s Deco-style warehouse in Brentwood, MO. The building serves as both head company headquarters as well as houses an expanded and busy 2000 square foot retail store.
The products are as natural as they can be while still having a shelf life. They are a minimum 95% natural and most products are much higher. They do not use animal, or petroleum bases and their products are not tested on animals.
The candles are all vegetable blend with a large amount of soy but their formula is blended with other waxes for a denser wax. Produced by American Farmers, this renewable resource is 100% natural. The wicks are cotton core.
The diffusers can last anywhere between 2-8 months, but average about 4. Because they use natural oils and they do not add any enhancers or scent extenders, it is up to the makeup of each individual oil that determines how long it will last. Another determining factor is where it is located in a room. Keep it out of direct sunlight, and away from vents to help the scent last longer.
A last added bonus - they use all recycled/reusable glass, PET#1 and poly styrene #6 plastic. After burning their candles, k.hall suggests you use the container as a drinking glass, they do!
