After years of searching for the perfect product I have finally found the holy grail: Tahiti Body Balm by Le Paradis.  First of all the name Tahiti really says it all–this is literally like a postcard from a tropical dreamland!  It’s made with Monoi de Tahiti oil (which is actually coconut oil that is lightly perfumed with tiare flowers—the national flower of French Polynesia) and smells like, well, like paradise!  It’s not greasy and leaves my thirsty skin super hydrated and glowy (a little goes a long way).  I also love, love, love that it comes in the old-school metal tubes (chic!) and of course that it is TSA-approved (it’s 3 oz.) so I can take it around the globe with me.  Plus, when I’m really jet-lagged, I love to pop a few drops into a hot bath and swirl it around (and pretend that I am in an over-water bungalow—I wish!).  Stock up on it here, here and here.

Bon Voyage!
