Getting Natural in Napa Valley

Few organic bath products out there can be so simple and yet so luxurious as those produced by Napa Valley Bath Co. Even reading the Napa Valley Bath Co. web page is inspiring, and it becomes quickly evident just how much of their own love, life and laughter goes into the things they make. It makes us all very proud to be one of the carriers and promoters of such pure and honest products from people with such a passion for what they make!

Napa Valley Bath Co. has an impressive selection of spa-worthy goods that would rival any other brand out there on the market. The only difference is that with Napa Valley Bath Co. you're going organic and, well, who doesn't like that?! Try any of their products from the Pink Himalayan Sea Salt to their Organic Lavender Bath Tea, Sea Salt Scrubs to Lavendar Sugar Scrubs! We assure you - you won't be disappointed, but you might be a little spoiled after pampering yourself so well.

If I had to choose a favorite product from their line it'd be their Lavender Body Butter. Not only is the scent of lavendar subtle and sweet without being overpowering, the texture of it is just indescribably silky and doesn't leave any greasy or oily feeling behind after you use it. Your skin just feels soft and healthy! It keeps my skin so soft I don't think I could go back to using anything else!

This would definitely be my recommendation for anyone, especially as a gift. I think anyone would agree, this stuff just makes you feel good all over!

SEND SOME ART TO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY (OR START A COLLECTION FOR YOURSELF)!

Make your friends and family feel extra special by sending these limited edition pieces of art!

These are not your usual postcards.  Made by San Francisco-based artist Carissa Potter, these postcards are hand printed on the Vandercook Letterpress.  Only 200 pieces are made of each design, after which the plates are destroyed.  Some postcards are printed with an image and a tender message to accompany it (such as "I am not into rings, but I would wear one for you if you asked me to") while some are a little sassy (such as "Interpreting Sound Waves: When you say you don't want to be with me anymore, I hear you say that you can't live without me").  Whatever the message, these postcards will surely bring a smile or elicit an interesting reaction.  Send one to someone special or collect them all!

Stop by New People and choose from a variety of Carissa Potter postcard designs at Tokyo Creators Garden.

*Each postcard is $4.50.
