Amala Holiday Gift Idea

Filed under Info You Want to Know
Green has a whole new meaning this holiday season. It’s not just for the eco-chic and fabulous, it’s a lifestyle choice for us all. It’s about giving a gift that gives back 365 days a year. Amala – which means “most pure” in Sanskrit, “revered mother” in Tibetan, “love her” in Spanish – is a certified organic, uber-luxe line of skin and body care, created in Germany, that is doing its part to make the Earth a better place while also making it easier for your readers to shop for their moms, sisters and girlfriends.
Adored by many of the hottest celebrity makeup artists and their clients, Amala is once again raising the bar so all of us can give the gift of responsibility. We are proud to introduce the exclusive Spa Valise collection by Amala. An eco-luxe hemp and woven straw travel bag features Amala’s must-have organic skincare treatments – ethically sourced, powerfully pure and proven effective.
Filled with one of Amala’s four lines:
Hydrate, Purify, Rejuvenate or Detoxify – it’s a perfect gift for whomever on your gift list, addressing the every skin type from dry to oily to mature to body care.
Detoxify Spa Valise (retails for $74, if purchased separately is $92).
I truly unique and caring gift for any person on your holiday list!
Amala’s Spa Valise collections will be available in October and throughout the holiday season at world class spa destinations across the U.S. and online at amalabeauty.com.
Natural Luxe Giveaway
You may remember my article on Natural Luxe, your eco-friendly gift store. They are giving readers a chance to win a Mama bag?
Well let me refresh your memory a little bit just in case. Natural Luxe takes the hassle out of finding eco-minded gifts. Whether you want to buy something for yourself, the guy your dating’s mom, your sister, brother, uncle, whomever, they take the research out of the equation. Everything they have is promised to be unique, good to give, good for you and good for the environment. Natural Luxe’s products have been selected because they are natural, organic, hand made, recycled or promote a sustainable environment but never skimp on style or substance!
Natural Luxe sent me a bar soap to review, The Bubble Room’s Ylang Ylang & Cinnamon Goodness Bar. Now I could probably be certified as a bar soap Connoisseur. And this bar crushes the competition. It is thick, and heavy, creamy with the perfect amount of scent. Some bars have too much scent, and overpower me when I use them. This bar smells spicy and sultry. The soap to shower with your significant other. yes ma’am, and yes sir! Ylang Ylang is an aphrodisiac and cinnamon has been in countless studies as a turn on for guys. (yes food is a way to man heart)
These 100 percent Goodness Soaps are made using the Cold Process method and they have NO SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCES, PRESERVATIVES OR DYES; just vegetable oil, essential oils, and natural tinting herbs for color
But not to fear, if you are wanting a Goodness Soap for your mother-in-law, they have 5 scents to choose from.
Grapefruit & Tangerine
Lavender & Geranium
Spearmint & Eucalyptus
Clementine & Cedarwood
and of course the Ylang Ylang & Cinnamon
I also tried the Bubble Rooms Clementine & Cedarwood Scrub, and that scent is really nice too. I like spice, and the woodsy scent of cedarwood. This would make a perfect scent for any man in your life, dad, brother or lover!
They sell a select few bath and body items, but from the Bubble Room they have shower gel, scrubs, mineral salts and lotions.
Some of the other eco-bath & body companies they have available are NettieScrub, BabyBearShop and Red Leaf.
And Natural Luxe would like to offer you readers to win a Goodness Soap Bar of your choice from the Bubble Room!
To enter tell me what scent Goodness Bar you would choose.

Natural Luxe Giveaway
Natural Luxe specializes in unique gifts that are good to give, good for you and good for the environment. Natural Luxe’s products have been selected because they are natural, organic, hand made, recycled or promote a sustainable environment but never skimp on style or substance!
Life is short – give good gifts
Jewelry, Handbags, Clothing, Candles, Skincare, Beauty you name it, and you can find it, buy it and gift it at Natural Luxe!
Natural Luxe is your new store for Natural AND GOOD gift giving.
So what is a good gift?
Good is natural, organic, recycled, charitable, handmade, fairly traded or better yet a combination of all of these. Natural Luxe was started with the concept that gifts could give more than once. When you purchase a gift that is recycled you are giving to the environment and to the lucky recipient of your gift. Choose one of our gifts that supports a charity and you touch the life of a person thousands of miles away and surprise your best friend with a great gift at the same time. You get the idea, right?
Products must meet these criteria to be a part of the Natural Luxe family of gifts.
Natural Luxe wants to prove to you how GOOD Gift giving can be! One Prissy Green reader will receive their very own Mama Bag!
These Mama Bags (7 different ones!) are made from 80% recycled cotton & 20% Bottle Bag material from recycled soda bottles. Size: 18″ wide x 14.5″ tall, with 25″ handles to fit over your shoulder. Made & printed in the USA (Fair Labor Association Approved)
