A Few Good Things
I sometimes make new discoveries that I love, compelling me to return for them time and again. Today I wanted to share with you a few of these items, hoping that they may spark the same joy in you as they do in me.
1. During my latest voyage to Montauk, I stumbled upon an impressive footwear brand, Alias Mae. Their distinctive footbed designs caught my attention instantly, exciting me with their exceptional aesthetics and comfort. Their emphasis on a thick "flatform" makes them a great addition to any shoe wardrobe and pairs well with all the great wide leg pant styles. Hailing from Australia, this brand not only boasts superior quality but also offers fantastic value for money.
2. When summer arrives, sunscreen becomes indispensable, and for years, I've relied on a brand that stands tall on the principles of safety and effectiveness. Utilizing non-toxic ingredients, it employs the most reliable physical blocking agent - non-nano size zinc oxide - ensuring comprehensive UVA/UVB protection. Enhanced with potent anti-oxidants and amino acids, it not only fortifies the skin against the sun but also aids in skin repair. The Suntegrity Face and Body SPF 30 products are among the most commendable sun protection solutions available in the market.
3. An exemplary summer clutch effortlessly transitions you from daylight activities to nighttime outings, neatly containing all your necessities. The Cult Gaia clutch, with its sophisticated allure suitable for an evening dinner and playful charm apt for a lunch with friends, truly embodies this ideal.

4. I have a fondness for body oils, especially those with minimal additives and captivating fragrances. The Weathered Barn, nestled in the North Fork of Long Island, meets these criteria perfectly. They craft their own oils in-house, offering an impressive variety of appealing scents. I love their signature blend body oil and the facial serum.
5. Dr. Bonner's soap is a staple in my shower. I love that it's lightweight and doesn't contain any harsh chemicals. My favorite scent is citrus.
6. Gut health is very important to me and I have found a product that goes beyond probiotics and typical gut health supplements to diversify the microbiome, support healthy digestion, defend from toxins, alleviate gluten sensitivity, and improve nutrient absorption. All natural and soil-derived, ION Gut Support is proven to strengthen the gut lining—supporting a thriving microbiome and improve gut function.
Best,
Maria
