1. Gaston Luga Backpack
Our favorite backpack is stylish and functional! Whether you’re jumping in the car for a day hike or headed to the airport for a weeklong excursion, Gaston Luga has created a bag that holds every essential pocket and zipper without overdoing it (hello minimalism!) or sacrificing style.
2. Iggys Honey Brew Kombucha
Say goodbye to cane sugar-fed kombucha cultures and say hello to a new, innovative way to drink those frizzy tangy drinks we’ve all come to love. Iggy’s uses 100% honey-fed kombucha cultures resulting in a a sparkling probiotic drink that is much less vinegary than kombuchas made with cane sugar. They ferment for 6 weeks giving their brew a mature and refined quality that leads to a smooth, “ambrosial product akin to a fine mead or champagne.” Each flavor also includes herbs formulated for a particular desired feeling, from relieving emotional tension to invigorating the body.
3. Rumi Oracle Cards
The beloved mystic and poet, Rumi has captured our hearts through a sacred language that resonates on the deepest levels of heartbreak, sorrow, love, and ecstatic joy. Now you can find these same heart-felt messages from a beautifully illustrated by Rassouli and compiled oracle deck from Alana Fairchild. Each of these 44 cards offer a new day of thoughtful intention and to accept the mysteries of life.
4. Erewhon Keto Muffins
If you’re on the Keto train chances are you’re looking to satisfy your sweet tooth and love of carbs. Erewhon’s Keto muffins are out-of-this-world delicious while keeping it keto.
5. Glutathione
Your supplements are only as good as its ability to absorb. And many supplements break down in the stomach before ever reaching our cells! That’s why we love this liposomal glutathione spray which uses an advanced phospholipid delivery system to deliver core ingredients faster & more efficiently. Glutathione is a master detoxifier and the body’s main endogenous antioxidant. It can bind toxins and may help remove them from the body which protect our cells from damage caused by free radicals, peroxides, and can improve metabolic energy.
6. Healthy “Crunch” Factor
We love a crunchy addition to anything from our morning oats to our delicious salads. But let’s skip the unhealthy croutons and sugary granola and pick a delicious option that actually provides loads of nutrition as well. We absolutely love adding roasted fava and chickpeas to our salads. You can easily find these on the shelves of many major grocery stores and we keep them around when we want a savory crunch without the added guilt.
7. Rowe of Venice Bread
We all love bread and when we decide to change up our diets to include cleaner, simpler ingredients, bread is typically the first thing we have to let go of. But one of the newest breads on the market is giving us relief to our bread-blues. Rowe of Venice bread has 3 different options for vegan, paleo, and keto. These breads are all organic, dairy-free, flourless, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, made with superfood ingredients, high in protein, low in sugar content, and most importantly absolutely delicious.
