Tis the season to shop, shop, shop, drink and shop. Here is a round up of some of our fave wellness, beer, and eco friendly pressies perfect for your yoga and beer loving besties that wont break the bank. Or maybe you want to treat yourself too!
Several of these are in our local Florida region as we love to support local small businesses. Give 'em a try or check them out on social media and show them some love there too. Clicking on the photo will take you to the site/store so you can browse. Happy shopping!
Beer Soap by Lola Blue Living is formulated with loads of natural oils + cocoa + shea butters + earth based vegan colorants + healing clays + good vibes. Can using soap truly change your mood or energy? They think so and we agree! They have plenty of scrumptious scents but we, of course, are especially drawn to this one that has beer as an ingredient. Lola Blue Living uses FL based Conch Republic Beer to make this soap which is infused with essential oils of sweet orange, lime + mint and is hand-crafted North Port, Florida.
Wondering how to carry home all of your favorite cans and crowlers from your local brewery? The Bountiful Bag creates totes, beer carriers, purses, backpacks, etc. all made by upcycling malt bags that were used in the production of fine craft beverages at their local San Diego breweries and distilleries. What's even cooler is that this company is founded by two badass sisters. The Bountiful Bag or Weekender would also make a great yoga or gym bag and for our Florida people, these bags would also be fantastic for a day at the beach.
Yoga Mat Spray/Disinfectant - 'cause your stinky feet are all up on your mat all the time. Be sure to include your yoga mat in your new year or spring cleaning routine! We like this Sweet Orange and Peppermint from Aura Cacia for a nice holiday vibe. It's 100% pure essential oils which will uplift your mood and give a quick refresh after a sweaty yoga class. You can also find this at Yoga Outlet which usually has sales and can be Rakuten friendly. While you're on Yoga Outlet, check for deals on yoga mats and then read our other post about why you should invest in a quality yoga mat.
If you're still looking to cleanse your unholy sins or just get rid of the bad/weird vibes of 2020, a sage cleanse might be a good ritual for you. Also known as smudging, this ritual is used to rid yourself or your space of negativity. This can include past traumas, bad experiences, or negative energies from others. Sage also has antimicrobial properties which means it can tame infectious bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Pink Moon Garden is a lovely, local Floridan who creates these stunning sage bundles.
Lastly, we'll shout out our pals at Pirani who make the tumblers we use in our beer yoga classes. Pirani Party Tumbler keeps your drinks hot/cold, hands dry & party spirit alive. Their mission is to help keep single-use plastic out of our oceans & landfills. What's extra great is you can work with them to create customized laser engraved tumblers for your business, a birthday, or whatever other ideas you come up with. If you'd like to purchase one of our Ales & Asanas tumbers please contact us. Cheers!
