Allegedly there’s legal action being taken against Kate Hudson and David Babaii, her hair stylist-guru-to-the-stars, in the Superior Court of Los Angelos, over a verbal agreement with 220 Laboratories. The Laboratories allege that Hudson and Babaii have committed fraud, misappropriated trade secrets, are in breach of confidence and contract, plus up to 13 other midemeanours.

The secret ingredient to the new line of hair products, which is about to transform the hairdressing world, is black volcanic ash, from the remote tropical island of Tanna, in Vanuatu, in the South Pacific.

Researchers recently discovered that the average woman uses 176 different types of chemicals on her body, in her daily beauty schedule. The use of volcanic ash is part of the world wide drive to use more natural products.

This is not the first time volcanic ash has been used in health care of the body. The Volcanic Earth, based in Vanuatu, sells the best beauty tips from Vanuatu, an exclusive exfoliating ‘Ash Power’ body scrub, produced from fine crystals of sugar and volcanic ash. The scrub has the same color as fertile black soil. It has the feel of fine granulated sugar being rubbed on the skin. The exfoliating action is produced by chafing the grains back and forth, scrubbing away dead cells of skin. After a few minutes of scrubbing, the grains melt away in lightly fragrant, moisturizing foam.

A user of the volcanic ash product described it as, “A bit like dying your own hair. The stuff is as black as squid ink and gets everywhere you don’t really want it to be. The face cloth I used to remove it in the shower will never recover. I’m glad we have a handheld shower so I could quickly hose the splatters from the grout. My husband would have killed me.”

The rich mineral, oil absorbing volcanic ash includes sulphur. This has been used for generations to manage a wide variety of skin conditions. The volcanic products are said to detoxify and restore life energy through the ancient minerals.

You can now purchase an Ash Thermal Mask, or an Exfoliation Scrub and even a Prep & Prime lip refinisher, used as a base for lipstick, all made with volcanic ash. According to Kate Hudson and her partner you can now also control fly away hair.

It is incredible what pulverized rock and cooled molten glass, produced by violent volcanic eruptions, can do. The locals in Tanna may be burning away their fortune, as they collect the ash, instead of wood, to use on their fires to cook their meal. Particularly since the area has been stripped bare by the action of the volcanic ash. I’m sure when it comes to the end result; however, there will be a dispute of who owns the precious ash, which liberally litters the plain around the base of Mt Yassur, turning the landscape into a wild scene from a science-fiction movie?

There is an additional valuable use for the ash, which only nature can manipulate. When high intensity of volcanic ash is erupted into the air, as was experienced in 1991 after the Mt Pinatubo eruption, there was a universal cooling effect. The ash can remain suspended for days and sometimes even up to years, cooling the earth by screening the sun. I wonder if anyone has thought that a string of volcanic eruptions could be the answer to the world’s crisis of global warming. Will nature come to our rescue?

A Private Island Paradise To Dream About For Your South Pacific Honeymoon Could Be Dolphin Island Fiji

A Private Island Paradise To Dream About For Your South Pacific Honeymoon Could Be Dolphin Island Fiji

A Fiji Honeymoon has to be the ultimate in the South Pacific if you can afford to go there in the first place!

What are dreams for, if not to come true, and Dolphin Island could be just waiting for you and your new spouse’s honeymoon vacation. The dream honeymoon should be spent on your own private island, waited on hand and foot, surrounded by blue seas, white sand, and no troubles in the world to come near you .

Potentially you could find all this on the seven acre Dolphin Island, which is the perfect place for either a stopover or a three day interlude in your honeymoon vacation.

Firstly of course you have to get to Fiji, which is an eleven hour flight from Los Angeles, but only four hours from Auckland, Sydney, and Brisbane. You will arrive at Nadi airport, and you can then choose how you get to Dolphin Island.

The least expensive option is a two hour drive around the coast to Rakiraki followed by a 10 minute boat trip.

Alternatively there is the helicopter and seaplane which are much quicker but not included in the price!!

Dolphin Island apart from this is all-inclusive, and it really is a private island paradise, consisting of just two dwellings or Bures, and you will be the only guests on the island at any one time.

The two Bures stand next to each other, built in traditional Fijian style, they are built up off the ground with wide and roomy verandas to maximise the sea breezes, and face the setting sun. One Bure is purely for dining, and relaxing, whilst the other one has two completely separate suites and both are air conditioned.

Truthfully there isn’t a huge amount to do at Dolphin Private Island, but most activity is naturally based on the sea. Snorkeling equipment is available as well as advice on where to most enjoy the crystal clear water and the multi coloured fish. The more energetic can paddle kayaks or sail a Hobie Cat.

On land you can walk around the island at low tide and here you get the chance to look at ancient Fijian fishing pools. If you are feeling particularly adventurous you can follow a walking trail and spend a night sleeping out in a room on the other side of the island.

Dolphin Island is truly a magical hidden island and perfect for a few days in the middle of a South Pacific Honeymoon. Just don’t expect sophisticated modern accouterments. This is simple and quite magnificent. The bures are decorated in the style of the local Fijian houses. The furniture is handcrafted, the bures have wooden beams hewn from local trees, and a dark local cloth covers the walls.

The food is exceptionally good, and of course cooked especially to please you, the only guests, in this exclusive laid back paradise that is Dolphin Private Island, home of the owner of New Zealand’s famous Huka Lodge. The management and staff also go out of their way to ensure you feel like the owners during your stay!!

If you can get to Dolphin Island and you don’t have to be on your Fiji South Pacific honeymoon. You might just be in need of a romantic break, and a Fiji Island vacation. This will do nicely!!

Are Tamanu Aitutaki Could Be The Most Romantic Hotel In The South Pacific

Are Tamanu Aitutaki Could Be The Most Romantic Hotel In The South Pacific

Of all the South Pacific destinations, it is arguable that the Are Tamanu Aitutaki, one of the top Cook Island luxury resorts is in fact the most romantic hotel in the South Pacific.

If you are going on a romantic vacation, or your honeymoon for that matter and you have in mind a South Pacific destination, then in my opinion the Are Tamanu Aitutaki ranks amongst the top five worlds best beach resorts, and I hope to be able to convince you that this is the case from my own personal experience.

Are Tamanu is not a five star resort, and I am accustomed to this type of hotel, so I was somewhat apprehensive before setting out, despite the fact that my husband was absolutely certain that I would think it was the most romantic resort in the South Pacific.

The first thing to know is you have to arrive at Rarotonga and then catch another short flight to Aitutaki. You quickly realise you are in another world, not only because of the spectacular views from the aircraft, but also because in the very few minutes it takes you to get to the hotel you realise that what they mean by a road is really a sand track.

I found this whole environment so much more romantic that Tahiti, so much less commercialised, so much more the authentic South Pacific of my dreams.

It is the colors that hit you first, the shockingly bright blues, turquoises, greens, and the white of the beaches, it is extraordinary.

The huge beautiful lagoon is almost beyond description, and there was our resort sitting right next to it!!

The rooms were large, and clean, and comfortable, but not modern. Having said that they were what I’d always imagined South Pacific to be, and I just fell in love with the place, the people, just everything. No TV or radio was another bonus, this was just bare feet paradise – my husband couldn’t spend his time on the phone to the office, or his laptop for that matter.

The food in the restaurant was good and reasonably priced, we went for a cruise around the lagoon, and I got to go to islands with wonderful names like One Foot Island where we had a superb BBQ lunch. I also discovered this is where they film Survivor, and also visited the beautiful Honeymoon Island.

The whole vacation at Are Tamanu was just so relaxing, but to me the real highlights were the local people, so genuinely friendly, the clors, and the snorkelling right in front of our door so to speak.

I definitely think we stayed in one of the most romantic hotels in the South Pacific if not the most romantic
