    The Italian Organic Skincare You Need to Be Using

    Italian women take pride in their beauty, skincare, and haircare routine. As with most things, they choose quality products. For skincare, that means products that are clean, work well, and are made in Italy. Since moving back to the States after living in Italy, it’s been quite a challenge to find Italian skincare that is both organic and works well for my skin. 

    Slow Living Retreat

    Tuscany, Autumn 2024

    An Exclusive Experience in Italy | October 3–9, 2024

    Escape to the picturesque landscapes of Italy for a slow living experience like no other. This uniquely designed retreat in the beautiful Italian countryside is perfect for women looking to lean into the slow living pace and all it has to offer, experiencing the authentic side of Italy, and making friendships and memories to last a lifetime.

    Our small group ladies’ retreat, limited to 6 people, will take place in a rustic, yet luxurious villa nestled in the Tuscan countryside. Enjoy slow walks in the vineyard, exploring small villages, shopping for old world antiques, pasta and cooking classes, slow living reflection workshops, and more. Enjoy dining out, experiencing local cuisine, as well as authentic, chef-prepared meals paired with local wines back at the villa.

    I learned the value of slow living while living in Italy and I can’t wait to share la dolce vita with you this autumn.
