Craving Bath and Beauty Products?

My stepdaughter, Katie, came for a visit a few weeks ago and we did some shopping. We discovered a cute little shop in Hatteras Village called Crave Beauty Boutique. Their motto is "helping to make Hatteras Island beautiful...one pair of glossy lips at a time" and they invite folks to come in and browse their collection of "lotions and potions, cosmetics, creams, scents, gifts and all things girly."

Katie sings with an a cappella group at Wellesley called the Widows. She was looking for dark eyeshadow (the Widows, you see, wear all black during performances) and little gifts for her secret Widow. Katie mentioned a chocolate-flavored lip balm product she had found on the West Coast called Ganache for Lips. She told Crave owner, Cherry Moskalik, that she hadn't been able to find it anywhere except California. Cherry made a note and asked for my email address.

A couple of weeks later while vacationing in Maine, I got an email from Cherry saying Ganache for Lips was now available at Crave. Talk about customer service!

Around the same time, I got an email from someone who had picked up one of my business cards at Ugli Mugs in Avon. Linda Gardner, co-owner of Nantucket Skin Care, wanted an update to her web site, www.nantucketskincare.com. Would you believe her products are featured at Crave? Well, it IS a small island.

If you're into "all things girly," I suggest you visit Crave in the Stowe on Twelve shopping center or online at www.cravebeautyonline.com. Tell Cherry that Shelby sent you. - Shelby Kinnaird
