malie giveaway

malie kauai has always been a favorite around h|h for their commitment to creating luxe spa products with island grown ingredients (supporting local farmers and protecting the environment in the process). over the summer, i have been chatting with the malie 'ohana and jumped at the chance when they offered to surprise readers with a malie linen mist giveaway.

malie has generously donated four bottles each in the following scents - coconut vanilla, gardenia, pikake & pineapple coconut - so 16 lucky readers will have a chance to spritz their space with yummy hawaiian hydrosols evocative of the islands.

odds are good but only if you send an email with your name & current hometown by 11:59pm on thu, sep 18th. also, you are welcome to jot down your top two scents and i will do my best to accommodate requests but no promises that your favorite will arrive in your mailbox. (unfortunately, shipping regulations require the linen mists be sent by ground mail so, alas, the giveaway is only open to readers in the 50 states).

p.s. email subscribers - the email link and the newsletter seem to be incompatible so simply click reply and follow the above instructions to enter. remember to put malie giveaway in the subject.

good luck!

malie organic aroma mists

longtime readers may recall my mission to switch over to organic beauty products as empty bottles of questionable formulations find their way to the recycling bin. commercial perfumes have always triggered a headache for me so i am always on the lookout for fragrances made by nature rather than a chemical factory in new jersey.

that phthalates (common in most personal care products) may be a hormone disrupter only confirms my suspicions that au naturale is the better way to go when it comes to potions that will be absorbed by your body.

yesterday, happy news arrived in my inbox compliments of malie kaua'i's introduction of their organic aroma mist line. malie continues to tread lightly on the 'aina with an ingredient list that is 70% certified organic and each of the five scents (coconut vanilla - koke'e - mango nectar - pikake - plumeria) feature fresh, fruity &/or floral notes compliments of the wildcrafted hydrosols grown in the islands.

even better, the organic aroma mists are a one bottle wonder formulated to work as both a personal and home fragrance to scent you and your world.

the new organic aroma mists can be ordered online or stop by the malie beauty boutique to pick up your favorite scent when in kaua'i.

{update | may 29th: look for the launch of the mango nectar product range in mid-june. mahalo shaun!}

koke'e kokua

 

malie kauai is introducing a fresh new fragrance across its line of luxurious spa treats today. the koke'e collection embodies the breathtaking beauty of its namesake, koke'e state park, which is one of a only a handful of remaining intact native forests in all of hawaii (and home to 26 threatened & endangered species).

in the spirit of kokua, a portion of sales from malie's koke'e scented bath lathers, soy candles, reed diffusers & more will be donated to the koke'e resource conservation program.

heaven scent

malie kauai recently added an organic perfume to its growing roster of spa products inspired by the floral abundance of the garden isle. two scents made their debut - beautify, a combination of pikake and rose that evokes one of the earliest blends in ancient alchemy, and relax for those of us who swoon for the coconut and vanilla pairing required in any warm beachy fragrance.

all the elements that combine to create malie's organic therapy perfume are indigenous to the islands and were either organically cultivated or wildcrafted from local rainforests. another bonus, the chemical and alcohol free perfume is bottled in a roll on applicator which allows you to pinpoint the fragrance on all the right pulse points.

shop online or stop by malie's boutique near poipu when on kauai.
