The 12 Days of Christmas – Holiday Gifts On A Budget

Meet BELLA LUCCE – Exotic Spa Line

Born in 2003, Bella Lucce is an all natural brand created by Lela Barker who dreamed of making enough money as a single mother to stay at home with her children. Like a mad scientist on a quest, she put in long hours concocting her potions that would eventually become the Bella Lucce brand. In eight years, Bella Lucce has grown tremendously, and is loved by women internationally. Lela believes in giving back, and does so through various charities and communities. With nature being the core of her brand, she has worked hard at doing what she can to preserve it and has earned her company the title of “Carbon Neutral” by Terra Pass.
