Editor's Picks - April 2024

My favorite thing about spring is the day – the moment – everything pops! Dismal gray, suddenly replaced by bursts of color: buds, blooms, and blossoms everywhere. The air freshens, and life feels lighter. Hello, sunshine, my old friend. Here, a few other favorite friends and finds to try next time you swing by.

Bonafide Provisions

Be Well Coconut, Lemon & Turmeric Organic Chicken Bone Broth (In a Cup!)

I’m sipping one now. Most days, I don’t have the stomach for breakfast, but I know I need a good dose of protein to maintain energy throughout the day: this sippable bone broth with MCT oil provides 10 grams while still being light, comforting, and flavorful. I’m addicted.

 

Soothing Touch

Vanilla Rose Lip Balm

Like heaven for your lips! I can’t live without mine, and there’s a balm at my desk, in my purse, on my nightstand, floating around in my car somewhere. Truly soothing, vegan, and certified organic. Available in other yummy flavors like lavender coconut and coconut lime.

 

Sky Organics

Organic Rosemary Strong Roots Oil

When we think about skin care, the scalp often gets overlooked. This stuff, though, is a magic potion that helps nourish the scalp and those luscious locks right at the root. It’s a great excuse to give yourself a head massage, and you can recycle the cap/dropper on skyorganics.com via their Pact Partnership.

 

Skagit Valley Food Co-op

Rhubarb Custard Bar

Coming up on 8 years at the Co-op, there are certain seasonal foods I look forward to, but none more than our rhubarb custard bars. They’re the perfect cool, sweet treat to pair with a pocket full of sunshine, and I can’t wait to eat mine!

Canvas Totes

Calling all bag ladies! There’s no such thing as too many totes, right? Made with organic cotton canvas, we introduced a brand-new color, a punchy purpley pink for all things spring!
