    Hawaii’s Malie Organics introduces luxurious Botanical Body Gloss

    Original first-of-its-kind product

    Precisely formulated for ultimate hydration

    Gives skin an alluring luster similar to a lip gloss but without the sticky factor

    Kauai: Hawaii’s leading and most beloved organic beauty brand, Malie Organics, is proud to unveil its new locally-made Botanical Body Gloss, an innovative, first-of-its-kind product that gives skin an intense hydration boost to reveal a healthy glow and an alluring luster similar to the shimmer of a lip gloss but without the sticky factor.

    Malie’s Botanical Body Gloss is luxury natural skincare at its finest. A carefully crafted blend of organic botanical butters are melted with raw island honey and beeswax, then whipped with sumptious extra virgin coconut oil to form a thick, smooth mixture that glides on effortlessly, sinks in immediately and satisfies the skin with silky radiance.

    While most lotions contain up to 70 percent water, Malie’s Botanical Body Gloss is water and alcohol free allowing the nutrients of the natural ingredients to deeply penetrate the skin to naturally cleanse and rejuvenate pores, creating a gorgeous, youthful glow.

    This deluxe ultra moisturizing formula, which can be applied to wet or dry skin, contains emollients from the rich oils inside the seeds of fruit and nuts, also making it last longer in topical applications than lotions.

    Creamy coconut oil serves as the perfect carrier oil that easily absorbs to deliver the powerful benefits of honey, butters and beeswax to every pore. Coconut oil is abounding in antioxidants helping to prevent wrinkles and sagging skin.

    The ancient healing properties in honey have been proven to promote healthy skin tissue growth, fight aging factors and sooth irritations. Both honey and beeswax contain antibacterial and antifungals that remove and prevent toxic build up.

    Botanical butters paired with beeswax, plump, soften and feed dehydrated skin:

    • Organic mango butter is rich in vitamin A, C and beta carotene and prevents degeneration of skin cells, restoring skin flexibility.
    • Organic aloe butter, rich in amino acids and active enzymes, relieves irritations caused by burns and rashes.
    • Organic macadamia nut butter is high in Omega 3 & 6, promoting a soft, youthful appearance while aiding in recovery of sunburn and scars.

    The characteristic fragrances of delectable coconut and sweet honey complement Malie’s signature aromas and leave skin with a perfectly perfumed tropical essence.

    Indulge in Malie’s Botanical Body Gloss while enjoying the tropical scents of Plumeria, Kokeʻe, Pikake and Mango Nectar.

    The luxurious formula is temperature sensitive and will solidify at 76 degrees or colder. Simply run under warm water and the butters will soften.

    Malie’s Botanical Body Gloss is an extraordinary natural treatment that leaves skin with a remarkable and rejuvenated shine and eye-catching shimmer.

    Malie never uses petroleum, mineral spirits, sulfates or parabens, and never tests on animals or uses animal products.

    Retail Price/Availability: $25 (4 oz) at Malie flagship boutiques and www.malie.com

    Every Foster Youth Deserves a Bright Future – Educate Tomorrow

    Last weekend, Lulu went to Miami to attend Educate Tomorrow’s Anniversary Gala on Saturday night April 1st at Rubell Family Collection Gallery.

    Educate Tomorrow, Corp. is an international, nonprofit, certified 501(c)3 organization. All over the world, poverty denies children, as well as adults, the promises of a better tomorrow. Forgotten by society and social welfare programs, children born into poverty are trapped in a cruel and often violent cycle that frequently continues for generations. Lacking the inspiration, confidence, knowledge, and means to change, entire families are lost to the cycle of hopelessness.

    Educate Tomorrow believes that the best way to end the cycle of poverty is through education. Their mission is to make education an attainable goal for the most disadvantaged in our world, so that all may be afforded the possibilities that can be achieved through learning. They strive to reach out to these individuals and provide them inspiration, guidance, and support and lead them on the path of life-long learning.

    Based in Miami, Florida, Educate Tomorrow supports 15-23 year olds, who are aging out of the foster care system, by matching them with mentors. These mentors in turn help the young people to enroll in college and training programs, find housing and jobs, as well as apply for educational and social assistance that may be available to them.

    Educate Tomorrow also provides educational and life skills camps called “It’s Your Life”, which is funded by The Children’s Trust. These camps are a coordination among many community participants including the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, the Dade County Bar Association, Legal Aid, Department of Children & Families, CHARLEE, Children’s Home Society, Lawyers for Children America, University of Miami Children & Youth Law Clinic, the Guardian Ad Litem Program, Suited for Success, the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers – Miami Chapter, and Casa Valentina.

    Internationally, the founders of Educate Tomorrow established one of the first local language primary schools in the remote and impoverished village of Kabey Fo in Niger, West Africa. The founders also developed an Adult Literacy Program in the same village. Established under the same principals as the Miami-based efforts, these educational programs are designed to provide inspiration, guidance, and support and lead the children and adults on the path of life-long learning. Some of the first students will graduate from primary school this year. To facilitate their continued success, Educate Tomorrow is establishing a dormitory about 2km from the nearest secondary school, which will provide room and board, as well as tutoring to the students from Kabey Fo. These programs continue to be funded by generous donations to Educate Tomorrow’s International Program.

    Haircare Pairings: Must-Have Brushes & Styling Treatments

    It’s easy to overlook the importance of investing in a quality hairbrush or products to match, much less on which are best for our hair type. But rather than rip your hair out (literally and figuratively), here’s a look at a few perfect pairings from Marilyn Brush and ProRituals.

    Marilyn Brush uses only the finest materials including true ceramic barrels and natural boar bristles, plus they launched the first hourglass design on the market. ProRituals is an eco-friendly haircare line with paraben and sulfate-free formulas, offering amazing styling options for every hair type.

    For Volume

    Pair the Tuxedo Pro with the Lift Volumizer. The brush is designed to create volume through a combination of short and long bristles that lift even the finest of hair, while the spray adds volume, fullness, texture and shine.

    For Fine Hair
    Pair The New Yorker’s premium natural boar bristles and nylon quills that help stimulate scalp and distributes natural oils with Matte Texture Paste. The brush’s soft, durable pneumatic pad eliminates static and gives hair “finished” look, while the paste texturizes and thickens thin, fine hair.

    For Detangling
    Pair the Flatter Me Paddle with Dream Cream. This is the perfect brush for detangling and smoothing wet or dry hair, as the tortoise shell base with cushioned pad and massaging ball tips has a comfortable rubberized grip. The Dream Cream is a leave in styling conditioner that grooms hair with a soft, touchable hold.

    For Heat Tolerance

    Pair The Hot Flash with Heat Styling Protection. The brush has anti-static nylon bristles with a 460 degree heat tolerance and a ceramic coated aluminum barrel that allows for dryer heat transfer to the hair. Thermal and UV added protection from heat styling tools in the spray reduces cuticle damage, leaving hair soft and silky. This heat-fighting team is a no joke combo!

    For A Teased Style

    Pair The Teasing Brush, which has reinforced natural boar bristles along with an elevated center row of bristles for increased control, with Volume and Texture Foam. The brush has an extra-long grip for sectioning hair and added comfort, while the foam builds lift, body, and texture into the hair. Infused with repairing proteins and rich botanicals, this combo will give your hair a “day at the beach” look that’s perfect for the upcoming spring and summer seasons.

    For Smoothing and Straightening

    Pair The Double S Pro, designed to smooth and straighten medium to thick hair, with the Smooth Straightening Balm. Boar Bristles set on a perpendicular draw hair from all angles, while Silk Amino Acids in the balm seal hair’s cuticles creating silky, smooth, shiny hair without grease.
