Two more gift guides surfaced that are recommending our gift sets.  This time the Demi-Chest with introductory size bottles of our products is being touted on  mystyle.com's For Him Holiday Gift Guide as a great gift "for the ladies' man".  

Similarly, Marie Claire is featuring the new Coffee Aficionado Supreme gift set that has full size bottles of our products along with a pound of organic fair trade b3 coffee.  They say it's a great gift for the "coffee obsessed" person in your life, but we have to ask, really, who isn't obsessed with coffee?

 You know where to find the products on our site but if you would like to see these gift guides, the links to them are below:

The Huffington Post has been releasing some gift guides over the past few days and one of their latest is the Green Gifts for Men guide featuring the b3 Shave Plus men's grooming system.  There are also some other interesting items in the guide including a drink chiller set made of rocks and varieties of flavored almonds, pecans and cashews.  Some of the Huffington Post readers have been ranking the products in the guide and our b3 Shave Plus system is currently ranked #2 behind the rock drink chiller.  If we were to be ranked second to anything, we think that being second to the drink chiller is fine.  After all, while so many of you think that our men's grooming systems is the best they've ever tried, we also understand that there are some days that nothing beats a good stiff drink.

Barista Bath and Body is proud to announce its partnership with Grounds For Health, an international non-profit that has been establishing sustainable women's health care programs in coffee-growing communities since 1996 and its "Campaign for Giving". The "Campaign for Giving" asks women everywhere to show their solidarity with women in the developing world who are often without access to basic health care and screening. Purchasing coffee-based products from Barista Bath and Body sends resources back to these countries, helping women coffee farmers and their families. 

In support of Grounds for Health's "Campaign of Giving", Barista Bath and Body is donating 5% of all net sales during the month of September to Grounds for Health. Net sales will be calculated from sales to retailers including all of their coffee distributors, coffeehouses, spas, salons and baristabathandbody.com e-commerce site (www.b3products.com), as well as sales during Barista Bath and Body's HSN appearance on September 19th. Additionally, Barista Bath and Body will donate 5% of its net sales from orders placed during the upcoming Coffee Fest -- Seattle specialty coffee tradeshow. 

"Barista Bath and Body was introduced to Grounds for Health at the NCA Convention in New Orleans in April by their Development Director, Jane Sakovitz Dale. As a woman-owned business, we immediately saw the synergy between our coffee-based line and their work with women in coffee-producing countries. Coffee and coffeehouses have, historically, been the channel for innovative ideas and the catalyst for historic change. A collaboration between two organizations with coffee as their foundation seemed very natural", said Nancy L. Scuderi, President of Barista Bath and Body. 

Grounds for Health focuses on screening and treating women in coffee-growing communities for cervical cancer, the number one cancer killer of women in developing regions despite the fact it is 100% preventable, treatable and curable. Grounds for Health's staff and team of medical volunteers collaborate with regional coffee cooperatives, community members, and local health care professionals to increase awareness about cervical cancer, establish screening campaigns, and improve cancer-prevention infrastructure by training in-country medical personnel so that the programs become self-sustaining. Grounds for Health currently runs programs in Mexico, Nicaragua, Tanzania, with invitations from El Salvador, Peru, Colombia, Rwanda, Ethiopia, and many more for future sites.

We've teamed up with the folks at Grounds for Health for Mother's Day to bring a promotion that will help women around the world.  Grounds for Health is a charity that works with coffee growing communities to establish sustainable cervical cancer prevention programs.  We were so moved by their devotion, ethics and approach to women's health care that we felt we had to get involved.  Despite being one of the easiest forms of cancer to screen for and treat, cervical cancer kills more women in coffee-growing countries than any other form of cancer.  We'd like to reverse that trend and hope you can help.

If you donate $50 or more to Grounds for Health, you'll receive a free sample size bottle of our Triple-Shot 3-in-1 Coffee Shower Gel.  Also, during the month of May, 5% of the purchases made on our web site will be donated to Grounds for Health to further their mission.

As one of the five finalists for the 2011 CEW Indie Beauty Award, we've produced a short introductory video of our products, philosophy and story behind our company.  We think it turned out spectacular and just couldn't resist sharing it with all of you.  The CEW Media Group's YouTube channel was kind enough to put it on display for all to see so we wanted all of you to check it out.

Keep your fingers crossed for us as we get closer to the announcement of the Indie Award winner.  The 2011 winners will be announced on Friday, May 20th at the Beauty Awards Luncheon. 

We'd like to throw out special thanks to good friend of barista bath and body, Diana Sell for helping put the video together.  Diana is an accomplished photographer and just one of the many people we consider part of our b3 family.  You can check out her web site at www.dianasell.com.
