Happy Valentine’s Day
from the JAVA Skin Care Team!

This week’s The Perks of JAVA installment introduces us to Sabrina (known as Brie to friends and family), The Brunette Ecoholic. Brie has a passion for Eco-conscious and balanced living. This passion not only drives her to research the skincare products that she uses for herself and her family but also to share this information so that we can all benefit.

Here are Brie’s answers to our JAVA questionnaire:
How do you take your coffee? I like stevia and almond milk in my coffee
What is your astrological sign? I am an Aquarius – which means I am loyal, curious, and imaginative. It also means I can be unpredictable and a little all over the place (or as my husband likes to say – I have “oooh shiny syndrome“)! lol
A little history of your blog? I started my blog when I was recovering from major back surgery. I wanted to create a space where I could not only share my love & passion for clean, eco-conscious and balanced living but to also share my life-long skin issues and what has (and hasn’t) helped.
What in green beauty are you passionate about right now? For me, it’s all about skin care. I love makeup and am so impressed with all of the options we now have in the green beauty world (and that are just as good, if not better than conventional), but in my opinion, if your skin looks unhealthy or is having major issues, all the makeup in the world won’t make much difference!
What is your favorite JAVA Skin Care product? Do I have to just pick one? The lip product junkie in me loves the lip scrub & lip balm, but I also adore the body serum!
Any tip on how you use it? The body serum I apply right as I get out of the shower while my skin is still damp. I find that oils seem to absorb better & more deeply without a greasy feel when skin is wet.
Have a great week!

Please note: JAVA Skin Care does not promote the JAVA Body Scrub for the Face .
Here in Narragansett, Rhode Island, home of JAVA Skin Care, we are no strangers to the woes of working hands. Living and working on the bay, coupled with long, freezing-cold winters, we have the perfect recipe for drying, chapping, cracking skin and splitting brittle fingernails.

Wherever you may live, if you work with your hands, you need protection from the elements – protection you can find in JAVA Skin Care’s Double-Shot Serum. With double the antioxidants and double the argan oil, JAVA Double-Shot is the perfect blend of moisturizing hard-working ingredients that will add a layer of protection while leaving your skin feeling smooth and comfortable – without heavy scents or oily residue. Great for men, women and children.
On Thursday, January 28th we officially welcomed

to their new home in the
JAVA Lifestyle Store – 14 Main Street, Wickford, RI
Kathy McGovern and Beth Melfi restore and re-purpose industrial tools, hardware and architectural salvage into magnificent one-of-a-kind artwork and home/office furnishings.
The launch party was an opportunity to reconnect with old friends and begin new relationships. And, well you know, the JAVA ladies are always up for a good party…
JAVA Lifestyle is all about bringing together beautiful eco-luxury products – JAVA Skincare (of course), artisan jewelry, recycled hand bags , and so much more – to create a unique shopping experience where all of the gorgeous display pieces are also available to take home. Yeah, we thought you’d like that.
The JAVA Lifestyle team had a great time sharing our new home with our wonderful eco-luxury community. Our store is very special to us — we hope you’ll stop by soon and find out why over a great cup of coffee!
Cheers!
