From winning countless awards...ahem...the CFDA being one of them, to her innovative Wellness Cafe OMO in NYC, Norma Kamali stands her ground in design. Her talents, along with her Spanish and Lebanese ancestry led Norma to create a line of Natural and Organic products revolving around Olive Oil.
I was not only fortunate enough to take a recent trip, but was also blessed with one of her travel kits. A seemingly endless supply of treats sent me into a whirlwind of jubilation. Seriously. The one that was most impressive didn't come in topical form. I was caught off guard with the Olive Oil & Honey Seven Day Vitamin Pack...
Texture...very much like a salt water taffy. Taste...very much like just the right amount of oily sweetness one craves with their morning coffee. Too bad my trip is longer then the seven day supply.
Face Cream, Olive massage oil and Only olives soap left my skin clean, smooth and luminescent as I unknowingly prepared my skin for what I can only describe as the universe working in funny ways. The day I tried the aforementioned products, I also accidentally fell asleep in the sun. I rarely burn, but when you are asleep, it's kind of difficult to remember to apply sunblock. But not to worry!!!
The Norma Kamali Deluxe Travel Kit came complete with Olive Calcium Liniment for burns and rashes (Ha! and here I was speculating when I'd actually use it). I put it in the fridge and applied to my pitiful shoulders. In case you're concerned, my olive skin takes 24 hours to morph it into a tan. So no worries there. I'm back to normal with the help of Olive Calcium.
We know that Olive Oil is great for our heart, but in topical form it's almost magical. Olive Oil is unique by allowing skin to breathe unlike synthetic moisturizers. It also goes above other natural oils because its chemical structure is small enough to penetrate pores and hold moisture with out clogging them. Our skin and olive oil both contain squalane, an ingredient that helps feed cells oxygen and reveals fresh skin more quickly!
