Molly Recommends: Nantucket Spider Toilet Cleaning Strips - Rosemary & Mint
I bought these Nantucket Spider Toilet Cleaning Strips recently and was so pleasantly surprised! You simply toss one strip in the toilet bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes before swabbing with a toilet brush. They worked really well and with only minimal scrubbing. I also love that these handy strips are low waste and take up very little space in my tiny bathroom. Plus, they smell amazing! Overall, a great buy for your new September 1st apartment!
Zach Recommends: Cambridge Naturals Maximum Potency Ultra Omega-3 Softgels
I would love to say that I eat healthy, omega-3 laden fatty fish multiple times a week - but I'm busy. To bridge the gap, I use this Cambridge Naturals brand active-potency, molecularly distilled Omega-3 Fish Oil supplement. Omega 3's have a number of potential uses but I use them for their cardiovascular benefits, for inflammation support, and for cognitive support. Made by Reliance Vitamin for CN, it helps keep my body running so I can keep running.
Ashley Recommends: Traditional Medicinals Tea - Raspberry Leaf
When the patterns of life are cramping your style, sometimes all it takes is a good cup of tea to remind us of a warm hug or the comforts of home. Raspberry Leaf Tea can support taking the edge off of some annoying cycle symptoms . Great in a back-to-school care package and as a cabinet staple to keep on hand for a warm work beverage or a cozy night in.
Emily Recommends: Nopalera Todos Santos Candle
This candle has been a staff and customer favorite ever since it landed on our shelves about a year ago, and it's no wonder!

Whether you're in a new space this season or simply freshening up your current one, this beautiful candle is sure to make it feel even more like home.
Amber Recommends: Humble Deodorant - Sweet Amber
Listen, I might be a little biased towards this product because of its name. This is the perfect deodorant for when your sweaty oxters still think it's summer, but you're desperate for long walks in the crisp autumn air. Scented with notes of warm vanilla and deep amber, it's cozier than you ever imagined a deodorant could be.
Laura Recommends: Java Free Tea Blend (Organic)
This is the best coffee adjacent decaf tea ever!! Chicory root, cacao shells, dandelion root, licorice root, & cardamom come together to make a complex and cozy hot beverage. I find it to be lighter and nuttier than a hot coco, with just the right amount of coffee-like bitterness. This tea is perfect for your evening wind down as we move toward cooler nights.

Tired of spending so much money on paper towels? Feeling uneasy about the environmental impact they have? Don't worry, the remedy for all those problems is right here! Simply soak a cloth in water and ring it out, and then be amazed as it soaks up to 20x its own weight in messes!

Sally Recommends: Crimson Popping Corn by Rancho Gordo with Diaspora Co. Popcorn Seasoning Spice Blend
I have loved every variety of Rancho Gordo heirloom dried beans I have cooked with, BUT my new favorite is their Crimson Popping Corn.
As the weather turns chilly and the sun starts to set earlier, I find myself craving a late afternoon snack of their popcorn, these naturally red kernels pop into a delicate, delicious medium size POP . I have started sprinkling the fresh, hot popcorn with a dusting of Diaspora Co. Popcorn Seasoning Spice Blend - a lovely combination of : nutritional yeast, dry mango powder, pink garlic, salt, black salt, cumin, turmeric, chili powder, fennel, coriander, asafoetida, dried mint & sumac. Yummy and Warming.
Ellen Recommends: C Complex Serum by Josh Rosebrook
As the summer comes to an end you might be noticing a few changes in your skin. Are you noticing uneven skin tone? Dark spots? Hyperpigmentation? If so, it might be time to invest in a vitamin c serum! My personal favorite, tried-and-true vitamin c serum is the C Complex Serum by Josh Rosebrook. It harnesses two fully stabilized and clinically proven biomimetic vitamin c complexes (THD Ascorbate aka the "gold standard" of vitamin c and Ethyl-L-Ascorbic Acid). This lightweight, non-sticky serum will transform your skin from dull and uneven to luminous and renewed. Once you try this product you'll want to experiment with the whole line! Which I highly suggest you do ;)
Mike Recommends: Madhrasi - Masala Chai Mix
You know it. I know it. Cozy time is approaching! It's not quite cold out yet, but it's cool enough that a cup of something hot will be a necessity. My pick for the fall is Madhrasi's Masala Chai mix, because I need that warmth to brace myself for the horrid cold that follows this pleasant briskness. I prefer the keep-it-simple method for a lot of things, and this mix is just really good chai. That's all I'm asking for, and that's exactly what's delivered. Love it!
Ellie Recommends: Mad Hippie - Ultra Rich Barrier Cream
This thick and nourishing barrier cream from Mad Hippie can be used from head to toe. It's a staple for my handbag as the fall breeze cuts through the summer humidity and we enter dry skin season.
Shannon Recommends: Kitsch Detangling Brush-Haze Blue
Y'know when your hairbrush gets the clumps of dead skin, oil and fuzz around the bristles that are nearly impossible to get off? Kitsch's Detangling Brush doesn't have the plastic tips at the end of each bristle, making it so easy to keep clean! A clean hairbrush is important for anyone struggling with an oily scalp. I also love the ergonomic shape and pretty color options. I know this is a product I will use for a long time!
Rose Recommends: Maggie's Organics Footie socks - Mushrooms
Ideally I'm not wearing socks much in the summer, so as we get into the cooler months, I'm turning to Maggie's Organics to keep my feet comfy and warm. Though I only own a couple pairs, they feel noticeably better than most other socks I own. They're like a cozy hug... for my feet! They have sweet patterns and are made with organic cotton, plus if footie socks are not your thing, we carry a wide variety of styles, colors, and patterns. I think I just convinced myself to buy more Maggie's socks, and I feel great about that.
Dev Recommends: Teeccino Roasted Herbal Tea - Hazelnut
As we enter the sunset months of the year and feel the nights grow longer and cooler around us, nothing hits the spot for me like a warm, nutty cup ofTeeccino. I have a flavored coffee-shaped hole in my heart, and Teeccino's Hazelnut blend fills it with a delicious and hearty alternative. Each blend we stock provides different flavor profiles or benefits, with adaptogens like Ashwagandha and functional mushrooms. It's low in acid, prebiotic, and has no caffeine, so it can be enjoyed just before bedtime or on an evening stroll.
Alisa Recommends: Hibiscus Sweet Tea
We have organic hibiscus in our bulk section. Steep it in hot water with some sugar to taste. Leave it steeping a while. Like, forget about it while you do laundry or something. Then strain it, put it in the fridge, and bring it to your picnic. It is absolutely delicious iced. Even tastier than lemonade in my opinion! Sipping a delicious drink that you made yourself while spending time outside with loved ones, watching the sun set and wearing a warm sweater... Can it get any more blissful than that?
Rachel Recommends: MyBacon Original Recipe from MyForest Foods
If you’re searching for a meatless addition to your breakfast routine, look no further! MyBacon is a delicious oyster mushroom mycelium-based food that fries up in its own coating of coconut oil, so you don’t even have to add fat to the pan first. If you’re not dairy free, though, you can cook it in butter to maximize your maillard reaction. Tasty as a side or on a sandwich, I recommend this for those cool fall mornings (coming soon!) when you want something warm and crispy to get you ready for the day.
Daisy Recommends: Sauz Summer Lemon Marinara Sauce
Although it's named the Summer Lemon Marinara Sauce, I promise this product is wonderful in any season, and as colder weather approaches, I'm looking forward to incorporating it into my warm, comforting winter meals. Made with 11 simple ingredients, this small batch pasta sauce is absolutely delicious! It still has that classic marinara flavor, but with a zesty bite that adds a bit of freshness to whatever you are cooking up. Bon appétit!
Caleb Recommends: Mad Hippie - Hydrating Facial SPF 25
Sunscreen is essential year-round. I've struggled with how mineral sunscreens feel on my skin in the past, but all the brands we carry continue to improve each year. This hydrating facial SPF from Mad Hippie is my go-to during this seasonal transition!
