The temperature has dropped, and we are officially in the holiday season! We compiled five brands we’ve been loving this month — from hemp CBD drinks to hand-poured candles to raw desserts, our list is packed with gift inspiration.
VYBES
VYBES isn’t a drink — it’s a feeling, their founder, Johnathon Eppers, promises. Harnessing the power of hemp CBD was Eppers’ goal, and combining the healing properties of plants and the delicious taste of natural ingredients is VYBES’ specialty.
Why we love them:
Mission feel-good: VYBES’ priority is making you feel good. When Eppers started taking CBD, he noticed a radical difference in his stress and anxiety levels and wanted to share it with the world.
Authentic: We love that VYBES practices what they preach. They’re transparent and give loads of information about their products on their site. They don’t try to be anything they’re not — they just want you to enjoy their drinks!
Sleek branding: VYBES’ simplistic branding is the stuff of our Millennial pink dreams. Feminine, earthy graphics and photos plaster their Instagram feed and serve as serious health inspiration.
RITUAL
Ritual is here to lovingly remind you to take your vitamins. They are a multivitamin reimagined for the modern woman, and we’re loving how easy they make it to keep up with your health.
Why we love them:
Focused on women: CEO and founder, Katerina Schneider, saw a hole in the market for women’s multivitamins and prenatal vitamins that she could confidently trust. So, she made her own! Backed by science, Ritual was made by women, for women, and they always keep that in mind.
Detail-oriented: Ritual thought of everything — their vitamins are vegan-friendly, won’t make you nauseous, they’re tested multiple times, organic, non-GMO, safe for those with soy allergies, packaged in BPA-free recyclable plastic, and they’re even minty so they’re more enjoyable to take!
Health-inspiring: Their sunshiney packaging and positive vibes remind us that health doesn’t have to be so clinical — it can be fun too! Taking your vitamins shouldn’t be a chore, and with Ritual, you’ll be excited to down your daily dose.
BROOKLYN CANDLE STUDIO
What better way to ring in the holiday season than with cozy candles and a warm cup of tea? Trader Joe’s has you on the tea front, and Brooklyn Candle Studio is here to fulfill your wildest candle dreams.
Why we love them:
Thoughtful design: They aren’t just candles, they’re home decor pieces. Packaged in chic jars of all different styles perfect for any occasion, Brooklyn Candle Studio is out to make a statement in your home. Bonus: they make such great gifts!
Unique scents: With scents like “Love Potion,” “Mimosa Noir,” and “Spiked Apple Cider” and collections named “Minimalist,” “Escapist,” and “Pink Disco,” there’s a candle for every mood. You can even opt-in for a monthly candle subscription to stay up-to-date on all their seasonal specialties.
No place like home: Their Instagram is reminiscent of the home decor Pinterest board we all followed religiously at one point in our lives. Even if you’re not into candles, (we’re not sure why you wouldn’t be), they are worth a follow just for the decor inspiration alone.
BONNIE BROWN
Fresh, bold, empowering — these words come to mind when describing Bonnie Brown’s beautiful design work. Studio Bon hails from Wellington, New Zealand, and her work has been inspiring us from all the way across the world!
Why we love them:
Female empowerment: Bonnie puts it best herself on her website, her work focuses on “the diverse female form, fashion, and fantastical florals.” Her designs are full of life and make us feel beautiful and empowered.
Colors to die for: Studio Bon definitely found its knack for colors. Peach, muted purples, pinks, and reds feel so fresh, and her design aesthetic somehow manages to be simple and ornately-detailed at the same time. She’s also selling the cutest holiday cards this year!
Bomb feed: Bonnie’s Instagram is essentially a social media portfolio of her work — and we can’t get enough. Her designs not only brighten our days, but they give us a boost of inspiration too.
THE SOURCE
The Source is the answer to your quest for delicious raw desserts. They call themselves an “unbakery,” which is as cute as it is truthful. With wholesome and nutritious ingredients, there’s no need to feel guilty for eating an entire cake.
Why we love them:
Making healthy hip: Who said anything about healthy, raw eating being bland? The Source uses the best quality ingredients to make cakes, cupcakes, even pop tarts, and more that are not only tasty but fun to enjoy too!
Customizable orders: The Source is available in shops throughout California, and you’re able to custom order cakes and other desserts online. We love that you can request treats to have specific decorations or to accommodate certain allergies.
Beautifully botanical: Their Instagram feed isn’t just delicious cakes, (although, we’d be fine with that too), it’s filled with floral arrangements and botanically inspired dessert decorations.
Now that you’ve seen what we’ve been loving this month, we want to know: What are some brands you’ve been obsessing over lately? Let us know on Instagram and Twitter!
