Exotic Belizean Hardwood Phone Stand

Lara Goldman — Tue, 16 Mar 2021 23:32:17 +0000

Exotic Belizean Hardwood Phone Stand

Made by local artisan, Wayne, each of these useful and convenient phone stands are simply perfect. In fact, I’m using mine right now!

Made from mahogany or guanaste hardwood and hand carved. These phone stands are two pieces so they go completely flat for easy transport. I slip mine into the pocket of my day planner so I can have my mobile office on the go.

The stand is thoughtfully designed with a slot for your charger or accessory cable to wind through so it’s out of the way.

We can customize the wording or design to your specifications. Since they are all hand made by one artist, it’s no problem. What a great stocking stuffer or office team gift.

Turmeric Oil Face Serum with Powerful Antioxidants

Lara Goldman — Wed, 10 Mar 2021 15:16:51 +0000

Turmeric Oil Face Serum is made using turmeric root which is wildcrafted and Belizean coconut oil.

Turmeric oil is rich in powerful antioxidants and has been shown to slow down the effect of aging on the skin by tightening sagging and loose skin, thus making it firmer and more elastic. Its anti-inflammatory properties and soothing effects help reduce inflammation and redness and keep skin hydrated and healthy.

Turmeric has also been shown to assist with hyperpigmentation.

A natural part of using turmeric is that it does stain fabric and is often used as a dye, so mind your pillow cases if you use it before you sleep.

Turmeric Paste with Black Pepper – Super good stuff!

Lara Goldman — Mon, 01 Mar 2021 17:07:48 +0000

I don’t cook. Also, I eat like a fussy toddler or a frat boy (redundant?). As I age I become increasingly aware of the need to feed actual “food” to your body (cheese and crackers no longer count as ‘food’). I’m always looking for ways to sneak more nutrition in the few things I do make to eat.

I had no idea about turmeric or it’s uses, so when I found these folks I was shocked to hear about it. It’s pretty good stuff, but it needs to be consumed with black pepper for best absorption, so it’s been added.

It has a rather strong “limey” taste, so I didn’t love it in the banana/strawberry smoothie I like, but i DID absolutely love it in the soy taco mixture I make. It really made the taco seasoning flavor more….taco-y.

Ingredients- The best of Belize. Whole root turmeric, Fresh Lime juice, Cold pressed coconut oil, sea salt and black pepper.

Whats even better is that we work with 350 small growers in Toledo and our team at the factory are all amazing Belizean.

Lara Goldman — Wed, 20 Jan 2021 17:51:16 +0000

I developed Boat Lips Lip Balm made with Pure Belizean Cocoa Butter for an obvious reason – dry, chapped, salt-abused lips after spending time on a boat. Fantastic nourishing lip balm for dry, chapped or otherwise unhappy lips. Use liberally on the skin around your lips to help keep that skin fresh and deeply hydrated to ward off lines and crevices.

Made with Pure Belizean Cocoa Butter, Pure Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Belizean Coconut Oil, Soy and extra virgin olive oil.

Belize Bounce Hair Oil Deep Conditioning Treatment All Natural

Lara Goldman — Sat, 07 Nov 2020 18:25:21 +0000

Belize Bounce Hair Oil Deep Conditioning Treatment is 100% all Natural. I was inspired by the curly girls I see on Instagram and how they deep treat their hair. I’ve been “dealing” with my curls for years and have had trouble finding the right deep treatment to keep my hair. They were using coconut oil and one thing we have in Belize is the BEST coconut oil.

Made with Belizean Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Belizean Pure Cocoa Butter, Belizean Aloe Vera, extra virgin olive oil, cold pressed grapeseed oil and a bit of hemp oil.

Saturate your hair and then leave on as long as you like. I like to use it before going into the sun so it heats up and really penetrates. Wash out with your favorite shampoo.

Mandalas del Mundo Maya Coloring Book – Great Variety

Lara Goldman — Sun, 01 Nov 2020 16:57:42 +0000

Mandalas del Mundo Maya Coloring Book

There are 88 mandalas in this fun, relaxing coloring book. The patterns are inspired by the Maya of the region. The designs are a perfect range for anyone who enjoys coloring. There are mandalas that are a bit more and a few that are a bit less. If you are looking for a gift for a child or an adult, this is a good one

What I personally like about this book is that I can chose if I want a “commitment” (more detailed) or a mental intermezzo (less detailed, easy to complete). Great book for clearing the mind and helping to relax the brain.

Each mandala also has a brief title/explanation. The book is in Spanish and has a detailed index of all the animals, spirits and mandalas depicted within.
