Sur La Table - the culinary mecca

Founded in 1972 by culinary aficionado Shirley Collins, Sur La Table was created at a time when it was difficult to find many premium-quality culinary tools. Word quickly spread about the quirky little shop packed to the rafters with everything for cooks. Guided by Shirley’s culinary passion and prowess, Sur La Table’s expansive selection of hard-to-find and cutting-edge utensils soon had food enthusiasts from around the globe making a pilgrimage to Seattle. Today, Sur La Table is a multi-million-dollar business. Still based in Seattle, it’s owned by a group of private investors...

KBC Beauty Tips

1) Never put very hot or very cold water on the face.
Extreme temperature will engorge or constrict capillaries too quickly.
This can cause capillaries to break, resulting in the appearance of spider veins.

2) Never use petroleum products such as mineral oil or petrolatum (petroleum jelly/ Vaseline). They clog the pores and cause them to become enlarged.

3) Cleanse the skin to remove dirt, accumulated old oil, and daily pollutants by using Kazam Natural Body Care Facial Glow Scrub.

4) Use Kazam Natural Body Care Lemongrass Lotion a non-petroleum moisturizer. It helps tone and moisturize the skin with plant essences and the wonderful aroma of fresh lemongrass, it helps as a muscle relaxant and also helps with circulation.
Leaves you with a soft, silky, supple skin, reflecting a healthy glow and ages less.
