Siren Shrub Co.
Tart Cherry Sparkling Shrub
As someone who doesn’t drink alcohol, I’m always on the look out for an interesting non-alcoholic drink that isn’t soda. Siren Shrub Co’s sparkling shrubs are such a nice non-alcoholic drink option for special occasions! The flavor is complex and pleasant. Not super sweet like sodas or juices. I would compare the taste to kombucha but with more prominent fruit and herb taste. For those who partake, the shrub can be used as a mixer in a cocktail (there are cocktail recipes on their website) but they’re amazing on their own. I also love that Siren Shrub Co. a local and woman owned busness!

Nubian Heritage
Goat’s Milk and Chai - Soap and Lotion
This has all good ingredients and the smell is amazing. The soap leaves you clean and not feeling dry and the lotion isn’t so thick I feel like I can’t get it to soak in. I use this instead of perfume or body spray and I can smell it all day! Scents may vary by store.

Hurraw Sun
Lip Balm
I love all of Hurraw’s lip balms—but this one takes the cake! Besides the yummy tangerine and vanilla scent (think orange creamsicle) the Sun Lip Balm has SPF 15 from non-nano zinc oxide. Moisturizing, protecting, and so very pleasant to wear. Apply often—and in the wintertime, too!

Sun Leaf
Pure Essential Reed Diffusers
I keep one in my bathroom at all times. Long-lasting, not overpowering scents that make sense! A nice alternative to strong room sprays, candles, or incense.

Tart Cherry Grenadine
All of their syrups are great and will up your cocktail/ mocktail game. But the cherry one is my favorite. Add it to your old fashioned, you will thank me.

Andalou Naturals
Vitamin C Beauty Balm
This is an amazing BB cream with vitamin C and SPF 30. It’s like 3 products in one. I no longer have to use vitamin C Serum along with a moisturizer with SPF since this product has it all! I apply it after using toner and a serum. It has very light coverage that builds well with products like concealer and blush/ contour/ highlight over it. Plus it smells amazing! The best part is that this product is cruelty-free and vegan!

Tony's Chocolonely
Almond Sea Salt Bar
With dark chocolate (but not too dark), crunchy almonds, and just the right amount of sea salt, Tony’s has achieved the trifecta of chocolate bar flavor combos. This chocolate bar is basically the only chocolate I regularly buy now. It not only tastes amazing, but Tony’s chocolate is 100% slave free, and their mission is to make all chocolate slave free. I always keep a couple of these bars stashed away at home and at work.

Mont Gravet
Rosé
Fresh and fruit-forward dry Rosé wine with lovely aromas of raspberry and blackberry and is full body and long on the palate. This Rosé is a wonderful “anytime” wine and a delicious aperitif. It pairs well with a wide variety of foods, as it’s refreshing, savory and well-balanced. It will accompany beautifully any salads, fish, BBQ and white meat dishes.

Greenbush Bakery
Blueberry Sour Cream Cake Donuts
These are the best donuts! Freshly made in Madison & Kosher Certified, they’re cakey and crispy, and the blueberry is classic. I think the sour cream also gives them a nice tanginess and texture. One of these with a cold brew is a pretty heavenly breakfast treat.

Wonderstate Coffee
Ethiopia Natural Process
Local roaster Wonderstate puts supreme craft into all their coffees and this is the one that got me hooked on them. Light roasts are not for everyone and East African coffees tend to be the brightest of the bunch. However, Wonderstate has worked their magic and found a way to keep your cup smooth & mellow while still letting you taste all the cool flavors that come in a light roast. Give it a try!!!
