Give Great Scents

We love giving gorgeous little gifts for the holidays, especially when said gifts are made by Indiana based artisans and makers. Enter Amber Blends, one of our fav-o-rite fragrance lines, that just so happens to be made just south of us in Indianapolis. 

The range of unisex fragrances is unique and luxurious and features natural ingredients. The scents are sultry and warm, and as they mix with the wearer's unique chemistry, they deepen for a customized finish. We know women who've lost their bottles to their husbands and vice versa, so we're confident these fragrances are gifts anyone will enjoy. 

Our sister store, The FIND, caught up with the owners of Ambre Blends to chat about the history of the company, current products and what we'll be wearing from them next year.

Read the blog post then come shop the comprehensive line of fragrances and bath & body products for those on your gift list - or for yourself (we won't tell).

Smell ya later!

Current Obsession: Charcoal

When it comes to beautifying potions, these days we're all about charcoal. This unlikely ingredient can be found from some fab beauty brands and we're so in love, we stock a few charcoal products.

Because charcoal attracts toxins, it's brilliant at cleansing every skin type. Charcoal can help make pores appear smaller, balance oily skin, treat acne, detoxify and soothe irritated skin. In basic terms, you need this multi-benefit ingredient in your life, STAT.

Little Barn Apothecary's best-selling Charcoal + Aloe Foaming Face Cleanser draws out pollutants, helps to heal and prevent breakouts while gently hydrating. With additional ingredients of hemp seed and essential oils, this effective facial cleanser cleans with a smooth and silky lather. $22

FoxSea Skin's Konjac Cleansing Sponge works with your favorite cleanser du jour or simply water to deeply cleanse and gently exfoliate. When properly cared for, this inexpensive tool can last a couple of months. $8

Gentle enough to use every day, Herbivore Botanicals' Bamboo Charcoal Detoxifying Bar Soap gives both face and body a deep cleanse. This soap is especially great for oily, combination or acne-prone skins. $12
