We’ve got
shains (
state

a necessary
solution)
in the store and they’re always a big hit.
Even better they’re made of completely recycled and recyclable materials, were born right here in Los Angeles and are ever-evolving. With the letter and icon add-ons, you can spell out any message you want, whenever you want. So, if you’ve got a message, an action, a solution to share–you can let it be known with what you wear.

Food waste often doubles around the holidays. Doubles! (And the average American gains one pound from what does make it to mouths as well.)
One way to tackle the mounds of food when leftovers and giving it to friends and neighbors won’t cut it is composting it.
Made from 70% recycled plastic and suitable for indoor/under the kitchen sink use, it utilizes
bokashi, a combination of bran and sawdust and microorganisms, to ferment and break down your food scraps in only about ten to fourteen days. After a couple of weeks, you’ve got nutrient-rich liquid plant food for your garden or growing veggies. Meat and dairy are even acceptable with this kind of system (perfect for sour cream and turkey!).
Our savvy staff can fill you in on all the details in the store so you can become a happy farmer or make someone else one this holiday.

Those of us who have sampled our new aromatic balms from Buddha Nose can attest to their decadent, exuberant scents and effects.
The
booster salve does just what it says–boosts your immunity and your spirits. My post-booster salve bike ride was exuberant indeed.
And the
bodhi balm is a surefire way to destress and peace out, way out.
Made with healing in mind from organic essential oils, Buddha Nose products are zen or zippy, depending on your mood. We’ve got them in the store for 20.00.
