EDITOR’S NOTE It isn’t truly summer until you’ve travelled to an exotic island, swam in the clear, yet stunningly cerulean blue ocean, and sipped a signature cocktail. While we can’t serve you said cocktail, we can take you to Phuket in the Far East, or to the Isle of Pines in New Caledonia through the pages of this exciting issue. We can introduce you to some of the sexiest indie swimmer designers, like Shalaja, Indah, and Andrea Iyamah. And speaking of swimsuits, I’m excited to announce our newest segment The Look, a haven of ensembles curated by the Editors for your shopping pleasure. Are you ready? Dive in.

Besos,

NATURE’S CALLING Review by Blasina Salam

hello there, beautiful...

Nothing but natural ingredients are allowed anywhere near my skin, so when my goodies from Norabloom Botanicals arrived, I was ecstatic to discover the benefits of Holly Green’s coveted treasures. 12

I had the chance to try the Safflower Body Butter right away when my husband and I took a quick vacation to Florida and didn’t bring sunscreen. Just a few hours on the beach left us, you guessed it, sunburned and sore. Fortunately, I brought along my Norabloom package and decided to try the body butter on the burns instead of wasting precious vacation time in the first aid section of the drugstore. When I first opened the jar, I was instantly welcomed into a world of pure, untouched nature. It may just be me, but there’s a slight cooling sensation that emits from the butter.


Just a thin layer went a long way and we were set! I’ve used sugar and rice scrubs, but I’ve never thought to use one made of grits. And as a Southern gal, I did not hesitate to use the Petals & Grits Scrub (combined with the Chamomile Gel Cleanser) to wash away the day’s impurities. The flower petals remind me of sunny Spring morning in my old neighborhood and made my skin feel “baby smooth”. Next, I (hesitantly) moved on to the Cran Orange Astringent. I haven’t used an astringent in years because the harshness of the drugstore brands never played fair with my skin, but with Norabloom’s, I just let the

natural acidic properties work their magic. No oily buildup and no flaky skin afterwards? I’m sold. Last but not least, I dabbed a few drops of the Rosehip Seed Oil on the trickiest areas of my face (and hairline) and not more than a day later, I saw results. Overall, my skin is now spoiled, thanks to Miss Holly. My next experiment will be to visit her spa in New York for a much needed day of pampering. Pack your bags, little sis!
