Another amazing place I visited when I was in Maui was the Alii Kula Lavender farm. I’ve already talked about all the great benefits of lavender so I won’t lecture all of you on it again. I did learn some new facts about lavender though, like the fact that you can use it as an antiseptic and the fact that it is one of the least allergenic plants. It really is an amazing plant and the farm was one of the most beautiful and relaxing places I have ever been in my life. It’s nestled up in the hills of Maui and everywhere you walk there is a beautiful and exotic plant to look at. Everyone was so friendly and laid back, it was amazing! The reason I tell all of you about this is because Alii has teamed up with local businesses to create an amazing line of beauty products. They are some of the best smelling and effective products I have ever tried. I had to seriously restrain myself to keep from buying them all! In the end, I choose the Waterless Hand Soap, the Lavender Lime Lip Balm with Mango Butter and the Body Butter Creme. I also brought a Lavender filled pillow insert for when I get migraines. All of the products are wonderful and top quality. The body butter leaves my skin feeling amazingly soft and supple. I’m already addicted to the Lip Balm and put it on almost compulsively throughout the day. Alii has a website and I highly encourage you to check it out and purchase some of the products. The smell is great and not to overwhelming at all. We met Alii as we were walking around and he is super sweet and nice. He told us all about how much he loves his plants and encouraged us to visit his website if we got lonely once we left Maui! I could have stayed and talked to him all day. So visit the website (and if you’re ever in Kula, Maui visit him) and as he called after us as we were walking away, “Have a happy lavender day!” www.aliikulalavender.com
