It also has no synthetic fragrances or preservatives, making it great for those with sensitive skin. It even has plant-based moisturizers in it, so it’s even helping your skin! They have three different varieties: their regular insect repellant, kid’s insect repellant, and a fly spray.

CRYSTAL MAGNESIUM-ENRICHED DEODORANT STICKS

Not to be TMI here, but I have tried a lot of deodorants, including some of the prevalent ones that claim to kill odor. When I first got my hands on Crystal Magnesium Rich Deodorant, I was honestly a little skeptical. But when I used it on the first day, I was absolutely flabbergasted at how well it worked – even hours and hours later! My preferred scent is Lavender and Rosemary — it smells so good! The deodorant offers 24-hour protection and has no aluminum in it whatsoever. I wore this with black T-shirts, which are my typical go-to, you know, spoonie fashion! Anyway, there are no white marks! They even won the Clean Label Purity Award! I haven’t used anything else for months and will not switch back to what I was using before.

HEDLEY & BENNETT | DISNEY APRONS & KITCHENWARE

Hedly & Bennett was founded because Ellen Marie Bennett, an author and restaurant chef, saw a large gap between chef-grade kitchenware but for home chefs around the world! They have collaborated with so many other brands. As of late, on November 1st, they released their Disney collection, which features some incredible pieces – including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, and, of course, Donald Duck, which was what my choice was! I’m wearing it this Thanksgiving! It secures nicely when tied in the back and fits me nicely. They also offer hand towels and oven mitts! Personally, I plan on hanging onto the apron for a long time and passing it down to my son, who also loves to bake and cook!

NOMATIC NAVIGATOR SLING 6L BAG

So, I have found that I can’t effectively put everything where it needs to be with standard purses. Somehow, it always gets jumbled in one place, and I have to dig through it publicly to find something. Again, the perks of being a spoonie and carrying everything plus the kitchen sink with us! With the Nomatic Navigator Sling 6L, I can literally and truly fit everything without digging around. They have a tablet pocket — I can carry it with me more often now! It also offers a hidden water bottle pocket, tamper-resistant zippers, an RFID-safe pocket, and more! The best part about it all, though, is it doesn’t slip off my shoulder like a regular purse. It buckles safely around me, so my hands are free for retail therapy!

LAZARUS ARTISAN GOODS MOUSEPAD

I can’t tell you just how much of a difference I feel using this Lazarus Artisan Goods Mousepad versus a regular one. It’s more than just a fancy look; there’s a difference when placing your hand on it. I can’t describe it, but it is much more comfortable than any other mousepad I have ever owned. These are handcrafted in Honduras and Haiti, where local artisans are given the opportunity to create better lives for themselves and their families. The mousepad comes in two different colors: red or stone. I’m partial to the red one. It’s so pretty!
