Supporting Small Business

Those who know me, know I am always finding new products to try, especially when I can support small/ local businesses. Over the years I have found so many amazing products that I continue to use. I will be featuring them here in the Products I Like! section of my site. Be sure to check in regularly to see what I have found lately.

BARUKAS NUTS

Have you heard of "Barukas Nuts"? Not only are they delicious, but they are a powerhouse of nutrition and more importantly, good for the planet, which is very important to me. The website contains all of the information as to how these nuts were found, how they are harvested with extreme care of Mother Earth and the workers, the health benefits and even a chart to compare their nutritional value vs other nuts. Every question is answered so you feel good about every bite. I hope you will do yourself a big favor and visit https://barukas.com

SIMPLE KNEADS

Are you gluten free? Well do I have bread for you!! Here it is "Simple Kneads" and the name says it all. My family has been gluten free for many years and so of course we are always on the lookout for new products to try and especially bread because so many of the ones out there just lack texture/flavor and most of all just contain low quality fillers. Well Simple Kneads breads not only are gluten free, but they contain good quality gluten free grains. Finally, someone who is gluten free but also cares about high quality/ healthy ingredients like myself. I tell you, even folks who are not gluten free will love this bread. Its like a fresh loaf from the bakery. They ship frozen and that is how I get mine. The "pumpkinickel" is amazing!! And here's to another family owned business creating something of such good quality for the rest of us. Visit their website to read their story and treat yourself to the best bread you have ever tasted. https://www.simplekneads.com

THE SWEET LIFE KETTLE CORN COMPANY

Have I got a sweet treat recommendation for you! Do you like popcorn? Do you like a little sweet, but then a little salty? I just recently discovered this amazing kettle corn at a craft show. I was undecided. It smelled amazing. You know that wonderful aroma of fresh popcorn? But I had been so disappointed in the past with kettle corn. It's either way over the top sweet, too salty or not enough of one or the other.
I tell you folks, this is it, perfection, the perfect balance of both, AND the kernels are so big, puffy and tender AND its gluten free! You know how sometimes you get a bag of mealy, broken, hard to chew kernels? Yuck. This popcorn comes in clear bags so you can see its gourmet quality. I have to be careful now not to eat the whole bag!
I have to give a shout out to the owner Jody who is a bundle of enthusiasm and joy. She takes the time to engage with customers and share about upcoming events. Hurry up and get yours for the holidays. Nothing more enticing than a big bowl of kettle corn on the table for everyone to grab. Who doesn't like that? Let's support this small business as they are making the effort to expand so we can find it at a shop near us.

"HUMAN NATURE"
Natural Bath and Body Care for the Human Race

I have been using their all-natural soaps for years now and they deserve a shout-out. I order them on-line but have seen them in health food stores here and there. They have an extensive variety of natural scents and the lather is luxurious with a velvety feel on the skin.
You know when you buy natural soaps and then you get them home and try them only to find there is little or no lather or scent? Showering with Human Nature soap is uplifting to the spirit as the essential oils are released into the steam creating an invigorating aroma. Aaaahhhh, the scent of "Maine Woods" or "Citrus Scrub" to name a few.
I know that if you try their soaps you will love them as much as I do and you can feel good about supporting a small business. Their prices are so reasonable and the packaging is low impact on our beautiful Mother Earth.
