garnetly grateful


given it's the beginning of the month of november, some may think it's on the early side to start feeling thankful. as for me, i'm really trying to acknowledge gratitude on a daily basis, which so far is proving to be a mood-lifter. here are the two things i'm thankful for today: our multi-functional garnet spice true color balm, and the fact that LTB creator erin van cott is so multi-talented! our incredibly brilliant and artistic "in-house" photographer, christine lebeck has just had a child - welcome, matilda! so photography wise, we are on our own at the moment. erin's photos of the garnet spice true color balm are bee-oo-ti-ful to me. the rich colors, textures and ingredients captured in this photo have reminded me of the things i love most about this time of year.

here's something else to be grateful for...garnet spice true color balm is made from botanicals that are good enough to eat (although we don't recommend it). and given the proximity of your lips to your mouth, we think that is pretty important.
