After twelve years in the service industry- and five owning a cafe myself- I deeply appreciate quality cook and serve ware, and often find myself using commercial grade pieces in my own kitchen at home. Once you’ve used commercial equipment, it’s hard to go back. Made In offers incredibly quality commercial cookware that’s chef approved-and me approved- for your restaurant or your home, and their tabletop sets are just incredible looking. Look for yourself at the above link.

Curious Elixirs use adaptogens in place of alcohol to mimic the relaxation effects of having a drink; all the good and none of the bad. For the cocktail lovers out there (me), this is a beautiful option. This link is to their Elixir No. 4, which is their spin on the classic Italian aperitif.

Flamingo Estate is the dreamiest brand I’ve ever seen, and I’ve had a crush on them for a long time. Their mission is just as beautiful as their photography and design, and the quality of their product showcases well the passion that lives within Owner, Richard. A suggestion for those of us on the east coast who can’t enjoy the produce boxes- go look at their candles and body wash! They make me sweat (in a good way).

If you’re like me- lessening your alcohol intake for health reasons, while not wanting to give up the delicious complexities of flavor found in your favorite wines- you’ll love Proxies as much as I do. Still tannic, complex, and acidic, but without the alcohol.
