Abby Suggests: Egyptian Magic All Purpose Cream.

This stuff truly is magical, I had super chapped and cracked lips from wearing my mask all day and this is the one product (I tried many) that soothed my lips! Definitely love the ultra moisturizing and balmy texture too.

Alisa Suggests: Carina Organics Dandruff Flake Removal Shampoo

The holy grail of shampoos. Instantly transformed by brittle, bleached hair, into baby soft smoothness. I've since ditched my high end shampoos and am never going back. Highly recommended for unruly, chemically damaged tresses.

Amber Suggests: Panda Soft Black Licorice

I'm a huge black licorice fan and will try any kind I find, but this one in particular is incredible. Sweet and natural with a very modest flavor, it might even make a convert out of people who are otherwise not into licorice.

Caleb Suggests: Herbalogic Fixed Focus

Feeling foggy? This simple blend of white tea, and the adaptogens, Eleuthero and Gynostema is my go-to tincture for when I need to focus. It gives me mental energy without the physical jitters I get with coffee. Perfect for getting back into school, work, or creative project. I have a bottle on my desk and another in my bag.

John Suggests: Lotus Foods Organic Forbidden Rice

To quote the great sage Al Jourgensen, every day is Halloween. But to be more specific, for me the season starts in earnest one day after Labor Day and ends around Veterans' Day. Did you know Forbidden Rice will impart its black patina to other foods you cook it with? Try it with a chicken and rice soup. If you throw in some slime-green peas and jack o' lantern-orange carrots, maybe a little bruise-purple cabbage, you've got your entire spooky season color palette in soup form.

Mike Suggests: Native Forest Organic Coconut Milk

Sam Suggests: Baggu Face Masks

Made of two layers of sturdy cotton, these masks are both stylish and comfortable, and constructed to conform to the face in a way that safely covers both nose and mouth. Remember, masks aren't effective if both nose and mouth aren't covered! Also, I get strong fall vibes from the different color palettes - warm harvest reds, muted mustards, bright oranges, sage greens. Coordinate a mask with your outfit for safety and style!

Sarah Suggests: Nubian Heritage Mango Butter Hand & Body Scrub

I am not exaggerating when I say that I have tried every single body scrub we carry. It's my thing. And the scrub factor on this is where it's at. It doesn't dissolve super quickly, allowing for extra scrub time and it smells soooooo good. Lately I use it on my hands too before moisturizing. I no longer live without this. Ever.

Steph Suggests: Host Defense Superfoods Greens Powder

I recently started shaking this into my water (+ Superieur Electrolytes, a splash of ACV, squeeze of lime--and sometimes pine pollen powder). The taste is mild and blends into water pretty easily. I'm really into this as a no-fuss way to get in brain-boosting mushrooms, electrolytes and nutrient dense greens.

Zach Suggests: Indie Lee Squalane Facial Oil

Like so many people I've got Eczema, Psoriasis, & Seb Derm, so my skin doesn't really like most any moisturizer. I tried hundreds of skincare products (natural and not natural) until I finally came upon Squalane. It's super gentle, doesn't clog my pores or aggravate my skin, and combined with a little silicone or glycerine for some added moisture - it's just the thing! And Indie Lee is the best I've found.

Lauren Suggests: Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee Mix

Life with a newborn can make rest hard to come by. While Four Sigmatic products have always been favorites of mine, I’m loving them now more than ever. This mushroom coffee supplies me with the energy I need with minimal caffeine, so baby’s milk isn’t impacted and I’m not left jittery. The added Cordyceps, which can offer anti-inflammatory benefits, has been supporting my body through both our world’s stressful times and postpartum recovery.

Mike Suggests: Athletic Brewing Co. Run Wild IPA

For those that are managing their alcohol intake like myself, while still wanting a flavorful, crisp and hoppy beer at the end of a hot summer day, this has been my go-to! Their other non-alcoholic beers they brew are also very crushable.
