Finnish Christmas Bazaar

Hello,

Here's a small holiday story your readers might enjoy.

For more than 50 years, the Finnish community has shared its Christmas Bazaar with neighbors across the DMV, moving between venues over the years. This year it comes to Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Springfield, with pulla, warm glögg and handmade gifts.

Amma's Choice, a small-batch skincare maker from Riverdale, MD, was invited by Finn Spark to be a vendor, and we're excited to be part of this beautiful cultural tradition. One of our signature ingredients is shea butter from Oyo State, Nigeria. Another star is sea buckthorn oil, an antioxidant-rich oil at the heart of our Nordic Berry Bliss Body Oil: a true luxury, like food for your skin.

To honor Finnish sauna traditions, we created the Nordic Forest Bath Set, featuring birch, lingonberry and cedar, inspired by "löyly" (the steam rising from hot sauna stones) and the "vihta," a bundle of fresh birch branches.

It will be a festive day, and we can't wait to share the experience.
