DANDY
Dogs need self care too and Dandy is the answer. At least for my dog Leroy who before starting his Dandy subscription suffered from skin allergies. I noticed a decrease in licking and itching by the third week. Founded by Danielle Sobel, whose own dog also had bad allergies and she needed a better way to care for her dogโs health needs. You can customize your dogโs daily wellness and vitamin supplements based on his or her ailments or proactive/preventative care needs. These arenโt just any supplements, theyโre plant-based treats in peanut butter flavor, so Leroy jumps when he sees me rip open a blue Dandy bag. Also, Dandy works with a trusted team of Vets so that you know your dogโs health is the #1 priority. Dog mom, try it out, click here for $5 off first month subscription.
CAFUNร
CAFUNร in Portugese means the act of playing with a loverโs hair. This beautifully crafted accessories line was founded by two lifelong friends, Queenie Fan and Day Lau in 2015. The brand approaches an aesthetic as a gentle and intimate affair, relating to the connotation of the name. CAFUNร wants to reconsider what luxury means, perhaps redefine it to be more about the emotion and attachment between the person and the product.
BLUME
Blume is a problem solver for many things from zit zappers, menstrual cramps reliever to the best deodorant ever. Blume doesnโt believe in insecurities, just feeling good about self-care for the mind, body and soul. Sisters and founders, Taran and Bunny Ghatrora wanted to take the shame away from puberty and periods. The two most natural things for every woman, yet both experiences brings with them a lifetime of nostalgia and taboo. Blume is a line of self-care products built for the Gen Z generation whose self-esteem wonโt be tainted from their bodies changing. Thanks to Blume, the next wave of young women will be confident in the way they experience periods and everything that comes with it.
OORI OTT
Girls night in meets girls night out. Thatโs the unique sensibility of the made in Los Angeles fashion line Ori Ott. The name in Korean translates to โour clothes.โ The brandโs founder, Hannah Park wanted the name to express her relationship with quality, especially since her family works in garment manufacturing. Ori Ott is an expression of throwback pop culture, 80โs art deco, iconic fashion film moments in Scarface, to Jersey girls like Adriana from Sopranos. In a sense, you can describe Ori Ott as classic, the new timeless. Thoughtfully made clothes that you can thoughtlessly wear.
GOLDE
Golde takes care of your inside as well as your outside. Founded in 2016 by Trinity Mouzon at age 23 who sought to make wellness an affordable option for everyone. Golde is a beauty and wellness start-up focusing on you feeling good. Yes, Golde has all the buzzed about necessities from matcha powders and masks, to turmeric tonics and cacao concoctions. However, Golde is inclusive by brand message, intentions, quality of the ingredients and most especially the price points. Golde makes it possible to get on the beauty and self wellness train without spending a lot of money. The brandโs only intent is for you to take good care of yourself. Thatโs it.
