The summer heat is finally winding down, and those hazy summer days are coming to end. We are ready for a fresh start and new school year beginning. Find inspiration and some pep in your step with these locally made products.
Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz
Try a new locally roasted blend to enliven your early morning starts. One of our favorites is De Fer’s Sons of Vulcan blend with notes of dark chocolate, blueberries, and toffee.
Cup of Tea
Some prefer tea for their morning routine, and we have a generous selection of loose-leaf tea blends made in Millvale by Abeille Voyante Tea Company. The Heart of the City Blend is caffeine free and contains all organic ingredients: honey bush, cinnamon, hawthorn berries, and hibiscus.
Add a touch of sweetness with our local honey assortment from Apoidea or Bumbleberry Farms.
Morning Meditation and Journaling
A meditative start to the day sets the tone for a clear and positive mindset wherever your day may take you. It's soul-soothing to journal your morning thoughts, the previous nights dreams, or anything that pops up after your meditaion. We have just the journal to keep next to your meditation spot. Take a deep breath and set aside 20 minutes to encorporate this healthful benefit into your daily routine and notice the change from within.
Gift a Friend or Treat Yo'self
Nothing better than helping a friend acheive a happy, positive mindset. The Self-care Day Box is an excellent way to gift your best pals or yourself a fresh start! This box includes all the essentials to help boost your mood and spirit: love, Pittsburgh tea blend for a relaxing sip to start your day, honey straws to sweeten you mood, a lip soothing balm and lavender hand and body cream, and an invigorating lavender + sage candle.
We hope these ideas will help you transition from the lazy days of summer to a more energetic time of year. Onward and upward!
