Top 10 Products We Love For March

March 1, 2019

1. Jack’s Paleo Coconut Raisin Cookies

These cookies are off the hook! They are completely paleo and made with grass-fed collagen. This family-run company practices high standards in everything they make including keeping all their cookies grain-free, dairy-free, egg-free, refined sugar-free, soy-free, and non-gmo. You no longer have to crunch on cardboard imitations of these nostalgic little treats. We can safely say they are better than REAL oatmeal raisin cookies.

2. Smartwool Base Layer

Layer these bad boys under your clothes to keep you warm and cozy as we wait out the last few weeks of winter. This base layer is 100% Marino wool which is so comfortable and beautifully soft to touch. It also offers a slim fit which is perfect as a single layer for chilly morning exercise without dealing with bulky outerwear. 

3. The Surrender Experiment: My Journey into Life’s Perfection by Michael A. Singer

If you were captivated by The Untethered Soul, you will absolutely love this follow-up memoir by Michael Singer of an inspiring true-life story about what happens when you just let go. When you surrender to what is, and live your life with authenticity, it has the potential to radically transform your life. This book will open you up to the power of saying yes to the universe.

4. Vimergy’s B-12

When Anthony Williams likes a product, he will shout it from the rooftops. And Vimergy’s product line is no different. Williams speaks so highly of this family-run business because of their ethical sourcing, clean processing, and intentional production to give us the highest-quality product possible. Vimergy’s B-12 is a powerful blend of methylcobalamin and adenosycobalamin potentially offering the most highly-absorbable product in the market today.

5. Mystic Art Medicine Deck

The artwork alone is a powerful moving force of divine energy. Cher Lyn created this 64-card deck to assist and inspire your healing journey. The Mystic Art Medicine deck is a self-empowering tool with the potential to awaken and assist you in accessing higher choices, truths for yourself and open you more into an authentic way of being. We love pulling a card in the morning to set the tone for an aligned and inspired day.

6. Brad’s Cheddar Veggie Chips

Sometimes a girl just needs a savory crunchy snack to get through that afternoon slump. But the fried, over-salted chips just aren’t supporting our beautiful mind and body. Enter: Brad’s Veggie Chips. Unlike other vegetable chips you see on the market, these chips are air-dried, never fried. And the ingredient list is basically everything you’d add to your salad bowl. Every ingredient is uber intentional and thought-out. They even added turmeric to aid digestion. These guys think of everything!

7. Schmidt's Wondermint with Activated Charcoal Toothpaste

We brush our teeth to wipe away all the accumulated toxins in our mouth so why would use a toothpaste full of chemical compounds to wash them away? Using Schmidt’s Wondermint Activated Charcoal toothpaste allows us to get the sparkling clean teeth we want without the added toxins. The toothpaste is dye-free, paraben-free, sodium lauryl sulfate-free, phthalate-free, and fluoride-free and the activated charcoal provides just the right scrubbing power to keep your pearly whites shining bright. It even leaves a light minty taste in your mouth.

8. Vybes Ambiance 09 Candle

The perfect candle to bask in the aroma, cozying up to a good book or relaxing in a hot bath at the end of a day. Hand-poured in Los Angeles, this candle has rich citrus & herb notes blended with spices and leading to a finish of sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla, amber & musk. Melt away in its luxury.

These wireless, bluetooth enabled headphones use the latest sound technology for impeccable clarity and top-notch quality. They even offer personalization with custom designed interchangeable caps for each ear. Super cute for on-the-go and the perfect gift for your bestie.

 10. Lulu’s CBD Chocolate

Want a decadent treat with a side of serious relaxation? Lulu’s CBD Chocolate is one of my favorite go-to treats that just happens to have the cleanest ingredients as a raw, vegan, and organic blissful indulgence. Lulu’s incorporates specific CBD compounds called Terpenes that have shown to work synergistically with other compounds of the plant, like cannabinoids, known as the “bliss chemical.” Simply put, when you ingest chocolate with the cannabis plant, the effects of both substances are made stronger and last longer. Not a bad way to end the day.

Wild harvested by hand and mountain sourced from the potent Pinus massoniana pine tree in the foothills of the Himalayas, we trust Raw Forest Foods for our Pine Pollen needs. The first company to bring Pine Pollen to the US, Raw Forest Foods uses a low temperature, air fracturing method to crack the cell walls and render their raw Pine Pollen more digestible. We love using this forest tonic for its adaptogenic beneficial compounds, including living nutrients and vitamins, essential amino acids, vital enzymes and co-enzymes, naturally occurring minerals, and healthful fatty acids. Just a teaspoon tastes perfect sprinkled over a scoop of probiotic coconut yogurt or blended into our morning elixirs.

Only our good friend Sara Crow provides the highest quality citrus oil, cold-pressed from the peel of organic grapefruit grown in South Africa.

Superfeast Beauty Blend

We have recently been introduced to the Superfeast brand, and we are thoroughly impressed with their high quality herbs, especially their Beauty Blend, which is a combination of tonic herbs that have been used by Taoists for millennia to cultivate inner radiance and beauty. Wild and/or wildcrafted, this blend contains the three ancient fruit sisters, goji, schizandra and logan berry, as well as, micro-ground pearl, which tones the liver, aids in detoxification, nourishes the essence of the kidneys and allows for the energy stagnation that stands in the way of this radiance to shift. We truly feel its magic healing potency on our skin, hair and inner body functions.

Farmhouse Culture Classic Caraway Kraut

It’s important to keep the gut nourished, especially with the heavier comfort foods we usually ingest during the winter season. Adding probiotic rich food to the diet is the most traditional way to heal the stomach, and we recommend eating Farmhouse Culture’s delicious fermented foods. Simple, yet flavor rich, the Classic Caraway Sauerkraut uses fresh cabbage with crunchy caraway seeds, and we like adding a tablespoon or two to at least one meal a day for a zesty, easily digestible boost.

3. Four Sigmatic Mushroom Matcha with Lion’s Mane

If you haven’t joined the mushroom revolution yet, now is the time.

Lion's Mane is an all-natural cognitive enhancer, which has been shown to support memory and concentration. We love using this in our morning lattes.

 

4. Let’s Put a Bird on It Happy Spray

If the first thing that comes to your mind is the Portlandia sketch, then you are correct that this adorable small local company was named after it. Joy radiates from this elixir of sunshine. Made of 100% natural essential oils wild orange, lemon, geranium, and bergamot, we love spraying when the energy of our space feels stale and in need of a happy boost. As an added bonus, congratulations to them for being recently added to the list of certified Green Businesses in California!

 

5. Phi Kind Bar Beyond the 7th Galaxy (With Reishi Mushroom Spores)

You know how much we love PHI Kind’s heavenly sugar and guilt free raw chocolate delights? From the starry atmospheric packaging to the 100% Organic ingredients of Coconut Milk Dark Chocolate and cracked cell wall reishi mushroom spore extract, this bar is superb. Our good friends at Phi Kind were devastatingly affected by the Napa fires, so please support in any way you can! 

 

6. Medicinal Foods Chocolate Covered Almonds Organic Raw Vegan Superfood with Sea Salt

Sprouted. Raw. Organic. Delicious. Our favorite words. These Spanish superfood rich chocolate covered almonds are so finger-licking good we had to share them with you. They are bursting with high vibrations from Hawaiian sea salt, Medicinal Foods Original “Shamans Blend” Superfood Raw Chocolate and being sprouted in pure, high-mineral water. 

 

7. Fresh Organic Yams

As the cooler weather creeps in for autumn, we need to ground and nourish our bodies with whole root vegetables. Yams do not break down like a typical carb. They are extremely healing and nourishing for your fertility and thyroid. Yams are so warming and versatile as well. They can be used for a range of recipes from desserts to entrees. Pick some up at at your local farmers market or health foods store.

We seriously cannot live without these tortillas. They are so addicting, we have trouble even traveling without them.

The Real Coconut is the Real Deal!

 

9. Ujjayi Natural Tobacco Charcoal Deodorant

For all you yogis out there, this is the choice deodorant for you. An all natural activated charcoal deodorant that SERIOUSLY works. It brilliantly neutralizes odor and protects your clothes from perspiration. The next level tobacco scent is extremely inviting and blends in well throughout the day.

 

10. Easy Eyes Apparel

A cosmic weekend of dust, rock and roll and pure groovy magic, Desert Daze was a haze. We met this adorable sister duo at their booth and instantly were taken by their beautiful spirit and energy. They sell a curated collection of vintage and affordable pieces for empowered, vibrant women. Their clothes embody an important message of supporting women-owned brands. Sometimes get so caught up in labels, we forget to support those brands that truly support the beauty of women themselves. What is hip and healthy right now is expressing yourself and being the best version of you. Not only is this a festival you do not want to miss, this is a brand you do not want to miss. We hope to see you again next year!

3. Simples Tonics Nettle “The Game Changer” Infusion

One of our favorite herbs, nettle is rich in vitamin A, C and K, calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, protein, and chlorophyll. It is extremely anti-inflammatory, tonic, diuretic and astringent, making it the essential herb to help your body adapt to daily stress and keep you nourished and healthy.

This nutrient-rich serum is packed with antioxidants that help repair skin damage, reduce appearance of scars and promote healthy youthful skin. We love lathering our faces before bed and waking up smelling as beautiful as our skin glows. 

 

5. Coco Rico Vanilla Bean and Lemon Coconut Yogurt

We all need our daily dose of probiotics to keep our digestive and immune health up to speed. This French-style dairy-free coconut yogurt is one of the most unique on the market, as the organic coconuts are wild harvested from the jungles of the Philippines, with each jar containing a teaspoon of raw organic Pacifica honey as well, which has a natural source of probiotics. Not only is it the highest quality natural source of probiotics, but it is some of the creamiest, most delicious fresh yogurt we have ever tried. We recommend scooping a dollop on top of some slices of fresh organic figs.

 

6. Organic Figs

Speaking of figs, make sure to take advantage of this last month of fig season while they last! Fig trees are some of the oldest in the world, growing some of the most exquisite and nutrient dense fruits on earth!

With only a few more weeks left,  make sure to snag some fresh and ripe beauties from your local farmers market.

It is the perfect addition to your makeup routine, adding just the right amount of shimmer with completely organic ingredients. Beam is truly cosmic for its use of Madrone spirit medicine, which is a sacred tree native to the Pacific Northwest that helps keep us grounded and connected to mama gaia. 

 

8. Julian Bakery Organic Paleo Wraps

Finally a 100% paleo, keto and allergy-friendly wrap that we can use for just about any recipe. Not only are they delicious, but best of all, they are made up of only 90 calories per wrap! Julian Bakery makes some of our favorite grain-free items, and always uses the highest quality ingredients to do so. We especially love making burritos and vegan quesadillas with these delectable wraps, however, they do not usually last very long. 

 

9. Nariveda Flex Veda

Based in Sedona, Arizona, Nariveda is an ethereal line of Ayurvedic elixirs founded on the 8 principles of Ayurvedic healing.

Top 10 Products We Love For August

August 15, 2017

 

1. Marin Bee Honey Shave

This super hydrating and soothing shaving cream is derived from aloe vera, shea butter, olive oil and, of course, California Wildflower Honey, which provides a natural barrier against environmental toxins. We love to lather our skin with this sweet treat after a day in the sun for an effective gentle shave. With ingredients truly harvested from nature, Marin Bee has not only created an effective, all natural honey skincare line, but also promulgated the importance of bees and the environmental impacts of Colony Collapse
Disorder.

2. 4th & Heart Madagascar Vanilla Bean Ghee

By now, I’m sure you have heard the gossip surrounding the healing powers of Ayurvedic ghee. Well, we are here to say, it's true! Ghee increases energy, nourishes and heals the digestive system and even helps the body assimilate nutrients. We love all of 4th and Heart’s 100% grass-fed New Zealand ghee butters, but we especially love the warm and soothing tones of vanilla in our morning tonics. 

3. Traditional Medicinals Lemon Balm Tea

Traditional Medicinals provides some of the highest quality organic teas on the market. Lemon Balm, a gladdening gentle herb, supports digestion, while calming and relieving nerves and tension. This go-to tea is wonderful as an iced infusion for summer. Stay tuned for our summer infusion recipe!

4. Jilz Cracked Pepper and Sea Salt Crackers

Jilz gluten free, vegan and paleo crackers are everything. They are the perfect compliment to our summer cheese and charcuterie plates. They fit perfectly in our beach picnic baskets. We also truly resonate with Jill’s path to discover a healthy lifestyle, as we are always choosing grain-free options whenever possible as well. 

5. Animamundi Coconut Cream Powder

The gravitational pull of Animamundi’s products comes from their devotion to creating some of the highest quality small batch herbal medicines on the market. Selling exotic and ancient botanical formulas from across the world, they use indigenous wisdom and cultural competency to promote rainforest preservation and local community driven products. This luscious coconut cream powder is so nourishing and loaded with healthy oils and fiber. We love adding it to our tonic and smoothie recipes, as it adds a creamy, delicious taste!

6. Urban Moonshine Organic Original Digestive Bitters

Urban Moonshine radiates joy and herbal beauty, as they are the emblem of an ethical company. We are obsessed with their hand-crafted, organic herbal Digestive Bitters. We cannot travel and eat out without them! They relieve gas, bloating & occasional heartburn, help curb sugar cravings, help with food sensitivities and encourage enzyme production. A genie in every bottle!  

7. Kippy’s! Organic Non-Dairy Seasonal Summer Lavender Honey Ice Cream

We do apologize if you do not live in the Los Angeles area, but if you are looking for a House of Citrine staff member, they are probably at Kippy’s Organic Non-Dairy Ice Cream Shop. Kippy’s combines raw coconut cream, organic fresh fruit, and raw unheated local honey to make superfood ice cream that is dairy, sugar and guilt free. Imagine a non-saccharine ice cream treat that actually enlivens your body, mind and soul. This summer, we are addicted to their seasonal flavor of Lavender Honey. 

8. Vortex Fare Raw, Vegan Chocolate with Cashew Raspberry Fudge Filling

After one of our trips to Mount Shasta, we brought this vegan, gluten and refined sugar free chocolate home with us, and could truly feel the high vibrational energy of the mountain in every bite. This super clean and rich chocolate is creme de la creme of desserts. It is made with 70% Dark Balinese Chocolate, Cacao Butter, Coconut Palm Nectar, Himalayan Pink Salt, Vanilla Extract Cashew Butter, Freeze Dried Raspberries, Coconut Oil, Coconut Palm Nectar, Himalayan Pink Salt, and Vanilla Extract. 

9. Aloe Polyphylla “Spiral Aloe” Succulents

Succulents are the perfect addition to your summer plant collection. Plants liven up spaces and connect us closer to nature, which is essential if you are living in a cityscape. Spiral Aloe succulents require full sunlight, are very hardy and their twisting helical shapes will add texture and pizzaz to any room! Make sure to support your local plant nursery or garden center when purchasing a plant. 

10. The Sun

House of Citrine loves products that are not necessarily material. What we really love this August is a good helping of natural vitamin D, curtesy of the cosmic star we call the sun. This is a product no one has to pay for, as we are all blessed by the solar warmth and life it provides for earth. Its magnetic field helps us stay connected, especially with the intense solar eclipse energy surrounding us right now! Spending just 20 minutes a day basking in the light will provide countless health benefits.

5. Omica Shower Filter

Bringing your body to optimum health could simply be dormant inside your own bathroom. By replacing your shower filter with Omica, you will not only boast softer skin and silkier hair, but reap the benefits of absorbing non-contaminated water, by Omica’s use of the oxidation reduction process known as “redox” to transfer electrons between molecules. This is a must have affordable item for all families. 

6. 2Rise Naturals Full Spectrum Hemp Oil Tincture

Looking to hop on the CBD bandwagon? Look no further then the highest, pharmaceutical grade hemp oil from 2Rise Naturals. This potent botanical blend is all natural, organically grown and sustainably sourced, working synergistically to support the body. CBD is non-psychoactive, boasting such medicinal benefits as being antiemetic, anticonvulsant, antipsychotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-tumoral/anti-cancer, and anxiolytic/anti-depressant. 

7. Imlak’esh Organics Golden Berries

Antioxidant, vitamin and mineral rich, these low sugar berries are irresistible explosions of sweet and tart magic. These berries are powerful detoxifiers that nourish the liver and kidney, while also being the quintessential snack to add to trail mix, cheese plates or eaten on their own! By purchasing from Imlak’esh, you are also supporting small farmers in the Andean foothills, as Imlak’esh altruistically donates 5% of their annual profits to eco-social projects that benefit the people and planet they work with.

8. Honest Hazel Eye Gels

9. Simple Mills Toasted Pecan Ready-to-Eat Cookies

The deliciously brilliant Simple Mills has created low glycemic, paleo-friendly snack cookies free of grains, soy, corn, dairy, and gums/emulsifiers! With only 4 grams of coconut sugar per 3 cookies, these guilt-free snacks are nutrient dense with a diverse team of almond, pecan, coconut and tiger nut flour. They are so delicious you will not believe they are healthy! Our only issue is that once opened, we cannot seem to not eat an entire box…or two. 

10. Osea Atmosphere Protection Cream

Our favorite vegan non-toxic seaweed based skincare line based in neighboring Malibu is the essential addition to your summer regimen. With dry weather, intense heat and powerful UV rays, your skin will need this lightweight moisturizer to hydrate and protect, while firming the skin with a silky light glow.
