Velana K gloss formula is unique. It is packed with vitamins A and C and contains a golden seaweed mixture which moisturizes and protects against
photo aging. The marine based filling spheres are infused throughout the gloss, promoting collagen production. Shea butter also helps protect against dehydration and other climatic influences.

A WHIFF OF GREATNESS!
We love (and our noses adore) RubyBlaise:Essentials, subtle aromatherapy mists hand-blended in Lake Forest.
Jody Tsouo, a mother of twins (Ruby and Blaise are the middle names of her children), blends essential oils to enhance living spaces.
She believes that essential oils have healing properties that can elevate moods, relieve headaches, fatigue, and stress-related conditions, in addition to repelling insects.
And best of all they're natural, non-toxic and have wonderful fragrances!
The 17 custom blends can be used as a room spray, body spray, foot spray and as deodorizers for trashcans, diaper pails and more.
Our favorites include Stress Free Mist with clary sage, lemon and lavender; Citrus Mist with grapefruit, tangerine, lime, lemon, litsea cubeba and lemongrass; Happy Mist with bergamot and grapefruit; and Oasis Child, with lavender, fresh lemon, and warming vanilla.
A great introduction to RubyBlaise:Essentials is the summer sampler of five (2 oz. blends) for $25. The mists are available in three sizes: 2 oz. ($6); 4 oz. ($10); and 8 oz. ($18).
RubyBlaise can create custom blended mists with labels that make great party favors for baby showers and weddings, as well as ideal gifts for holidays.
Available online (RubyBlaise offers free shipping to Greer's OC readers!) and at The Road Less Traveled in 2202 1/2 N. Main St. in Santa Ana, 714.836.8727; Serenity Wellness Center at 1831 Orange Ave # B in Costa Mesa, 949.642.3424; and Whole Foods at 2847 Park Ave. in Tustin, 714.566.7650.
