Did you know you can use olive oil to remove eye makeup - seriously, it's all you need. No other chemicals or nasty oils. Just put some on a cotton round and wipe away. 

Are you already using The Dew Nourishing Face Oil  in your skin care regime?  Perfect, dab some on a cotton round and wipe the mascara off your lashes. This oil is loaded with skin nourishing ingredients unlike most makeup remover full of chemicals which cause irritation to the eye area. 

So simple, because why would you want to put anything else irritating on the most sensitive skin of your body.

Saul Good Gift Co is a Vancouver based company providing unique customized organic corporate gift solutions. The difference between their gift baskets and other gift baskets is what they choose to put in them. All the gift baskets contain products from Vancouver or the surrounding BC area and must stand up to their code of conduct and they package everything in awesome gift boxes that are as environmentally sound as possible. 

We're excited to be a part of the Saul Good community and a recent vendor in the spa gift baskets.  The peeps at Saul Good recently featured us on their blog with kind words, 'Belmondo products are created to enhance our skin’s natural radiance. If you want a thoughtful alternative to this season’s edible expectations, this might just be the perfect solution'  

This is the time of the year when you may be looking for corporate gifts or know someone who is...I seriously suggest checking these guys out. They've created gift boxes with chocolate to coffee and even green cleaning products...and they look fantastic without all the over - packaging of traditional gift baskets. If you'd like to learn more about corporate gift giving they've recently discussed this topic  5 Tips for Successful Corporate Gift Baskets.

Thanks to Saul and the team!



We love Bowen Island for it's precious charm and beauty and this gulf island retreat is only 20 minutes from Vancouver by ferry.

Recently we've had a new admiration for this special place when Genevieve over at Still Waters Massage and Spa contacted us with interest in using the Belmondo Skin Care line in her treatments. 

We happily agreed and you can now add the Organic Face Treatment featuring Belmondo Skin Care to any of the services offered at the spa ~ this includes a face massage, hot towels, wash, masque, toner, moisturizer all incorporated into your full body massage. Sounds wonderful and I'll be making a trip for a visit soon!

Drift away at Still Waters Massage & Spa on Beautiful Bowen Island offering certified holistic spa fusion that can deliver relaxation through massage to rebalance & align both body and mind. Still Waters Massage is open by appointment, seven days a week, and is within easy walking distance from the ferries and Snug Cove. For more information, questions or to make an appointment visit the website and as Genevieve reminds us 'being still is doing something'

Vancouver View Magazine, July / Aug 2011: "The best part: every ingredient is instantly pronounceable, recognizable and wholly organic - no mystery additives that read more like tongue twisters than things you'd want to put on your skin."
