If you're still looking for special gift ideas, take a look at my start-ups that I discovered in "The Lion's Den". They have developed great products that you can give as a gift to your loved ones (or to yourself, of course) for the celebration of love. Come along on a little journey of discovery!

NUI Cosmetics takes the topic of natural cosmetics to a whole new level. Super stylish in appearance and uncompromising in the ingredients: founder Swantje only uses natural and vegan ingredients. You won't find artificial dyes, synthetic fragrances or even silicones and parabens in your products. Swantje has hit a nerve with her clean beauty; it is a huge topic in the cosmetics market.

My highlights:

Product 1: With red lips you are simply a different person. One stroke of the brush - in the truest sense of the word - and you become an absolute power woman! And what better way to start 2021?! Swantje's bright red lipstick "Aroha" is already cult because it dispels the prejudice that natural cosmetics only have pale colors.

Product 2: I love products that can be used in multiple ways. The Cream-to-Powder Blush is such an absolute all-rounder that you can take with you everywhere! In no time at all it gives lips, eyes and cheeks a fresh look, nourishes the skin with moisturizing plant oils and conjures up a touch of color. For everyone who wants to say to the complicated world: Let’s keep it simple!

Product 3: In the exclusive Advent calendar you can try your way up and down through Swantje's bestsellers. A wonderful gift to share with friends!

It all started with oil pulling, the Ayurvedic ritual. But now there are... Elixr also hand soaps, essential oils or room sprays that help us sleep better. All products have one thing in common: They should touch beauty AND the spirit - a combination that convinced me from the start. Because only both together make us truly happy. I still remember that the deal was incredibly competitive in the lion's enclosure at the time. Because every lion felt that the founders Jenny and Philipp had hidden a real treasure with their vision of combining beauty and spirit!

My highlights:

Product 1: The original from “The Lion’s Den”: The set of three mouth pulling oils appeals to all the senses. Depending on the variety, oil pulling provides energy and joy of life, clarity and freshness as well as serenity and balance.

Product 2: You would actually like to give your best friend a short trip in the sun, right? With the “SUNSHINE Natural Air Spray”
you will find an ingenious (and inexpensive) alternative for all sun worshipers: the feel-good, happy scent of grapefruit, mandarin and orange blossom exudes a feeling of joy of life in seconds. The rooms smell almost like after a sunny day in the south of France. Formidable!

Product 3: The year really wasn't easy. Corona has turned our lives upside down and we are all longing for happy vibes! This liquid soap, which is appropriately called that, puts you in a good mood with its refreshing, citrusy scent. So you can recharge your batteries with positive energy just by washing your hands!
