You know my obsession with Korres products...well, you're gonna hear about it again. I've been using their Quercetin & Oak line and looooove it. And this is kind of a funny thing to rave about, but it actually smells good. Why is that funny, you ask? Because the hubs is typically repulsed by any and every kind of facial cream I've ever tried. I've gotten "Yeek..." and "What's that smell!" and "Is the toilet backed up again?" but never "Mmm, you smell like butter." Now, I never fancied butter to be a particularly attractive scent, but apparently it is (it has to, at the very least, beat out the sewer one). So it wins with The Drew - score one, Korres. 

The next best part is that it doesn't burn. Ladies, you all know what I'm talking about. You know that hot, tingly, acidic feeling that your flesh is melting away from your face. I used to think "Oh, that just means it's working." But after having children and experiencing them accidentally slathering on your "ultra-moisturizing" lotion then screaming in agony because their skin is on fire, I began to realize that flesh-melting sensation is probably a negative. Hence why I love Korres. Nothing stings! Nothing burns! Nothing melts! It's just happy, yummy goodness that the babies could probably gobble up and still be fine. Just kidding. I really don't let my children alone with harmful cosmetics as much as you're imagining. Regardless, it wins with The Kids - score two, Korres.

The hippie, vegan, natural-loving side of me is particularly gratified by my third favorite aspect - they leave out bad stuff (probably a large contributing factor to the non-burning aspect mentioned above). Everything about the company is very homeopathic, local, and organic. They honestly and clearly spell out every ingredient on the label. They have researchers studying plants and herbs and flowers with which to make their stuff for Pete's sake! Wins with Nature - score three, Korres. 

At this point, you probably think I'm a part-time sales consultant or something for Korres, but I can assure you, I'm not. I simply think they're awesome and feel like I should pass on the love. So tell your boy or your babies or your Barista that you want a Korres starter pack for V-Day. Or, aw heck, just go buy it yourself.
