The Latte Co
Do you ever stare at nutrition labels trying to figure out if what you’re giving your kids is actually good for them and their digestive systems? I found myself doing that ALL the time and was SO happy to discover The Latte Co! Founded by 3 women and packed with clean ingredients and no added sugar, Latte Co is a line of vegan milks for kids that come in a powder form so they can be blended into absolutely anything. Love! xo Erin

Huha
Is it just me or does your underwear drawer need a major overhaul? I recently discovered Huha, a female-founded line of mineral underwear infused with zinc that promotes healthy bacteria while eliminating odor (bonus: they’re also biodegradable and compostable!). The best part? They’re genuinely comfortable, flattering, size-inclusive… and I actually want to wear them! xo Erin

Ro Collective
I love marking special milestones in my life with a gift for myself… flowers, jewelry, you name it! I love how jewelry can help you tell a story, and I found the most beautiful bracelet from Ro Collective to celebrate our Raw Beauty Reset with Kaitlyn Bristowe.
