Heading East
The day has finally come. Post #1 on Beauty Bento Box.
And while the word goddesses among us may deem my first move on this, the first post, as cliche, I find it just impossible to avoid. I must begin with a primer on who I am and what’s to come.
I’m Anita, a journalist and editor of a national lifestyle magazine, called East West. While the magazine will always be my first born, I consider Beauty Bento Box a much-awaited second child I’m excited to nurture. ( Yes, I am also slightly wacko and in my own world).
I hope this blog will become THE spot for knowledge on powerful Eastern beauty secrets and philosophies. A perfectly-portioned sampling, packed pretty.
We’ll examine interesting ingredients like Ginseng, Ginger and Neem . There will be at-home recipes, product round-ups and expert interviews. And with every item, the message will be simple: how fusion in the beauty world - a mix of East and West - can lead to stunningly gorgeous results. Oh yeah, and there will be specials too! Did someone say Free stuff?
I kick off with a perfect example of fusion from Roger&Gallet, which fits into my obsession with quality soaps and pretty packaging. Let’s admit it, pretty packaging makes us all feel a little more special. This soap gift box also has quality on the inside, with each suds-producer infused with essential oils and perfumed with Asian influences like Ginger and Green Tea…a relaxing way to lather up and journey East.
Also on my list are their travel soaps, particularly the Sandalwood scent. Yes, sandalwood, the fragrant wood of tree that hails from India, Sri Lanka and Hawaii. The wood is used in carvings but also as a sublime, spiritual fragrance for perfumes and incense. The Chinese and Japanese often use it in worship. It is like lathering up a spiritual escape all for just $7!!(And they even come in a handy travel case, so we can take the calming experience on the road!)
