Staff Picks: Autumn!

Zack Recommends: Cambridge Naturals Colostrum Powder

I'm constantly working on my immune health due to autoimmune issues - D3, Magnesium, Fiber, Omega 3's, etc. etc. etc. - but Colostrum was a new discovery for me this year and this version has been a really wonderful addition to my set. It's got a ton of unique nutrient content that works to maintain the gut barrier and balance digestive immune function while being gentle on my body

Amber Recommends: Little Sesame Hummus - Preserved Lemon

I am a big hummus geek -- at this point in my life, I'm probably more chickpea than human being -- so it was inevitable that at some point I'd become obsessed with Little Sesame. Their Preserved Lemon Hummus is salty, tangy, and deeply savory: my favorite breakfast lately is sourdough toast with capers, fresh dill, feta, and a big ol' swipe of this hummus. Perfect for those days when you need a little extra sunshine in your life.

Rachel Recommends: Fat and the Moon - Lavender & Cocoa Dry Shampoo

This season is a busy time, and when I'm constantly going, sometimes I look in the mirror and realize my second-day hair is not holding up. I like to refresh it with Fat and the Moon's Lavender & Cocoa Dry Shampoo, which makes my hair feel clean and dry. Arrowroot starch and kaolin clay soak up the oils on the scalp, cocoa powder prevents the white cast of most dry shampoos, and the lavender and clary sage essential oils provide a light botanical scent that melds nicely with the chocolatey one. All the plant elements of the shampoo are organic and the cocoa is fair trade, sourced through Equal Exchange. This product lets you feel fresh and ready for whatever fall brings, even on days that you don't have time to wash your hair.

Victoria Recommends: Josh Rosebrook - Eye Area Complex

A new addition to the collagen line from Josh Rosebrook (check out the collagen serum a few products to the left, too!) - this eye serum goes on super smooth, absorbs easily, and leaves the eye area feeling so refreshed, bright, and de-puffed. Packed with a ton of amazing ingredients - like Vitamin C, micro-molecular hyaluronic acid (sounds great!!) , sea buckthorn, caffeine, and many more - blended together to give you one of the best eye products out there! Ask us for a sample to take home and try! Our samples are given in municipal compostable packs, so after using it - make sure to put them in your compost!

Dev Recommends: Fat Toad Farm Vermont Maple Goat's Milk Caramel Sauce

It's apple season! The only thing better than a crisp New England apple by itself.....? When it has a friend, of course. Enter: Fat Toad Farm's caramel. Made with goat's milk and maple syrup, it's sure to hit the spot in so many ways. It's delightfully creamy, rich, and sweet. It's great on fruit slices, in oatmeal, on yogurt, in hot cider, on hot buns, in hot coffee, in a box, with a fox, here or there, or anywhere :)

Emily Recommends: Le Bon Shoppe Socks

I've been wearing these cute cotton socks for years, and given the popularity of our sock selection, thought that we couldn't miss the opportunity to share them with our customers! They're super comfortable, come in a great selection of colors, and hold up to so many washings! I'm excited to add a couple new pairs to my autumn outfit rotation.

Rose Recommends: EcoTools Exfoliating Bath & Shower Gloves and Kitsch - Face & Body Wash Bar, Kojic Acid

I've noticed over the last few years that my skin has been getting progressively drier, even during summer months. Now as we inch closer to cooler weather, I am anticipating wanting to exfoliate more to combat dry skin. I recently purchased these exfoliating gloves from EcoTools, and I wish I'd bought them sooner! They are just the right level of exfoliation, and pair well with any favorite soap (including the many great options we carry.) I recently bought this Kitsch bar soap that has Kojic acid in it, which can help with hyperpigmentation and uneven skin. So far I'm pleased with the results of this soap, especially when paired with these gloves. Happy exfoliating!

Nini Recommends: Cambridge Naturals Energy Boost Essential Oil Blend

As an online student, artist, writer and video game enthusiast, my desk doubles as my study zone and my creative playground. Staying focused can be really tricky, luckily i have just the little ritual for this exact problem! This lil magic-in-a-bottle saves my day (and my GPA) every time I'm having trouble focusing. A few drops later and—poof—the air fills with grounding cedarwood, zingy peppermint, fresh rosemary, and cool eucalyptus. It’s an energizing aroma that helps me switch from chill mode to focus mode in seconds.

Daisy Recommends: Acure Advanced Hydration Leave-In Conditioner

My hair routine is pretty simple, mostly because I've had bad luck trying to incorporate leave-in products. I have fairly fine hair, so heavy conditioners and even light oils tend to weigh it down. And while a good hydrating mask is nice to use and wash out, I've been wanting something I can apply and leave in right after the shower or on dry hair. My routine is still simple, but I've started incorporating Acure's new Advanced Hydration Leave-In Conditioner, which seems to be just what I've been looking for! Formulated with marine algae to hydrate and hydrolyzed amino acids to strengthen the hair, it's a wonderfully reparative formula with a light, fresh scent. It hydrates, detangles, and leaves my hair feeling soft and glossy. As the colder months approach, I'm sure it will also help combat the added frizz and dryness. If you want an unscented option, I'll also give a small shout-out to the Carina Organics Leave-In Conditioner as a great alternative! 

Mike Recommends: Maeve Truffle Bar, Virgin Dirty Shirley

Fall means it's getting dark out sooner every day, on top of the temperatures dropping. Thanks, I hate it. How do I placate myself in the face of encroaching chilly darkness (even though we still have a few months to go)? With a tasty treat of a chocolate bar that's based off my favorite cat character from my latest book obsession! I've already sped through the eight books of Dungeon Crawler Carl, but this delicious cherry chocolate treat lets me relive a bit of the magic whenever I eat it. Besides, if I don't buy it, Mongo is APPALLED.

Sarah Recommends: Nusa Turmeric Tang

It's cozy beverage season and this is my new instant favorite (see what I did there? This is both an instant beverage AND was instantly my favorite when I tried it). Think of it as a sweeter, lighter, brighter golden milk. Instructions say you can mix with warm water or milk - I'm a strong fan of the milky (specifically the oat-milky) version.

Jamu is an independent, Indonesian owned business and " America's first ready-to-mix Indonesian jamu company". Nusa has quickly become a staple in my pantry and a welcome addition to my cozy season rituals.

Tom Recommends: Mimikai - DEET-Free Mosquito & Tick Bug Spray Mist

Before reaching our shelves, Mimikai went through years of regulatory testing to legally justify their claim to repel ticks and mosquitoes. Using a newly patented active ingredient extracted from wild tomatoes called undecanone, Mimikai aims to provide a safe, gentle, yet highly effective alternative to DEET without the strong scent of an essential oil blend. Mimikai was also named one of the world's most innovative companies in 2026 by Fast Company business news.

Sara O Recommends: Numi Rooibos Chai

Every day is tea day, but during the Fall it's essential. Ethically sourced, caffeine free this blend contains all the right spices to enjoy on a crisp, cool night. Warm up fireside or sip on this delicious blend of rooibos, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg and cardamom. All organic of course!

Shannon Recommends: Sun & Moon- Zafu- Kapok Fill

I finally invested in a meditation pillow before the chaos and changes of a busy fall. The kapok filling makes this pillow sturdy but still allows you to feel comfortable and grounded. You can use this for traditional mediation or as a spot to help concentrate on other mindful activities. I personally love to sit and work on a big puzzle as a way to unwind without screens!

Laura Recommends: The Gilded Witch - Bat Cameo Bobby Pins, 2pk

Two of my favorite accessories that I can be spotted wearing regularly are a cameo locket and baby bat keychain. So, as you can imagine, I was elated when I found out that we were bringing in these precious bat cameo bobby pins from The Gilded Witch!! Excellent for seasonal flair, or a daily adornment for those with goth inclinations. There are barrettes, too!

Ashley Recommends: Northshea - Shea Body Oil - Plush Lemon

It's a two in one! Excellent moisturizer and a fabulous aromatic energizing pick me up! So good. I keep the big bottle at home and put some in a CN roller container to throw in my bag when I am on the go. I am obsessed with the brand NORTHSHEA. Everything I've tried has been quality. The commitments of this amazing, woman-owned, business are phenomenal. As a crafty person, I really like the do-it-yourself products, and sometimes it's nice to reach for something I love that is already well made. That's the NORTHSHEA Plush Lemon Shea Body Oil for me. Cheers!

Allison Recommends: Nubian Heritage Hand Cream Coconut Papaya

I'm in denial about the turning of seasons, so I'm going to share one more bright and light product. This coconut papaya hand cream smells exactly like strawberry starburst. As the weather gets cooler and air becomes dryer, I can treat my increasingly dry hands with this delicious and hydrating hand cream!
