LUST LIST: NINI ORGANICS
Have you ever fallen in love with a brand simply because of the founder? Even before having the pleasure to try their products (which are ALL rockstars in their own right), we were head over heels for NINI Organics. It's hard not to be smitten with Alex, the founder, when his positive energy is infectious! Our first phone call with him lasted over an hour and it was like talking to a BFF! If you don't already, definitely follow @niniorganics if you want to smile, his dance moves are fabulous!
We are so honored to feature Alex's favorite NINI Organics product and their #1 seller, Natura Detox Oil, in this month's Laurel & Reed box, touted as his 'greatest achievement,' when he describes it he says "This product is not an exaggeration. I will never be without it not only for the results but for the aroma and grounding MOMENT it gives me."
Check out the brand as a whole, they are a cult favorite for a reason, but here are a few of our favorites:
