From Kalastyle, Swedish Dream Tiny Tea Time Lip Balm: "This lip balm is handcrafted and made with natural extracts. Tiny Tea Time is infused with certified organic cardamom oil, which is loaded with antioxidants and provides soothing hydration. Smells so yummy!" $10 for 22g at Beautyhabit.
Another hand sanitizer option from Kalastyle (Jessica reviewed the Sea Salt version here and the matching Sea Salt soap and hand cream here): Nordic Wellness Vitamin C Hand Sanitizer. "Hand sanitizers are officially a part of everyday life. Why not make using one feel like you're walking through a beautiful citrus grove, bursting with the scent of fresh oranges?" $8 for 59 ml, at Kalastyle.
I’ve never thought as much about hand sanitizer in my life as I’ve thought about it over the past five months.

Cedar soap from Kala: "Kala's Cedar Wood Bar Soap promotes a sense of grounding with its warm, woody aroma. The word Cedras means 'power' symbolized by the golden axe of the Cedar Wood Soap. Used by Sumerians, Egyptians, Tibetans and Native Americans for its aromatic effect on the mind and spirit, cedar wood oil (Cedras Atlantica) extracted from the bark brings on the release of toxins and promotes circulation." $8.50 for 164g at Smallflower.
Last week I reviewed Oriza L. Legrand’s Villa Lympia, a seashore-themed perfume with Belle Epoque-styled packaging. This week I’m continuing my summertime theme with Kalastyle’s Swedish Dream Sea Salt Soap and Hand Creme, two body products featuring a “classic sea salt scent” and some very jaunty packaging of their own, with motifs of anchors and sailboats.
I’ve been using the Sea Salt Soap as a hand soap at the bathroom sink, but it would also be a fun treat in the shower and is even recommended as a shave soap. It’s a chunky circular bar that gives off generous creamy lather and an a cheer-inducing scent…
