Summer is winding down. The kids are going back to school. I’m still discovering some awesome food, drink and travel-related products to share with you. September looks promising already.

GingerHale

GingerHale’s Lemonade – Ginger Pineapple Lemonade

Naturally good. Refreshing. This lip-smacking lemonade will quench your thirst and warm your soul. Made with alkaline water and four other ingredients, it gives more smiles than pucker. I’m a fan!

Retail Price: $6 | $25
Size: 12 ounces | 64 ounces
Available: www.gingerhales.com

 

Junita's Jar Cookies

Junita’s Jar – Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I love these mini crispy cookies. They taste homemade with their sweet chewy raisins and delicate cinnamon. Delightful bites.

Retail price: $15.99 (3-pack)
Size: 4 ounces
Available: www.junitasjar.com

 

GranolaPop

This Saves Lives – Granolapop Chocolate

Satisfy your family’s sweet tooth with something healthier. This delicious granola contains a full serving of fruits and vegetables. It’s also gluten-, dairy- and nut-free. I like its chocolatey oat clusters that are lightly sweetened. It adds crunch to my yogurt.

Retail price: $35.99 (5 bags)
Size: 10 ounces
Available: www.thissaveslives.com

 

Kuna Pops Quinoa & Chia Spicy Chilli

LiveKuna – KunaPops Spicy Chili

This tasty puff packs flavor. The savory spices bring the heat, but not too much. It allows the quinoa to shine. It’s now one of my favorite vegan snacks.

Retail price: $3.99 (single) | $39.99 (10-pack)
Size: 3.5 ounces
Available: www.livekunashop.com

  

Plum Deluxe – Easy Like Sunday Morning Herbal Tea

I rave about this aromatic tea to my friends all the time. It offers a hint of lavender to calm my spirit. Combined with the mellow cocoa, it releases endorphins. I imagine cruising down the oceanside with the top down on the convertible. Every day is Sunday when I sip it. Simply divine!

Retail price: $7
Size: 1 ounce
Available: www.plumdeluxe.com

 

Ego Tequila

Ego Tequila – Reposado Tequila

Black-owned and imported from Mexico, this robust tequila goes down silky smooth. It finishes like an aged oak whiskey, but it doesn’t linger. That entices me to get more. Pairs well with soda.

Retail price: $31.99
Size: 750ml
Available: Texas at select stores – www.egotequila.com

 

 

Milk Chocolate Apple Pie Bark 

Sugar Plum – Milk Chocolate Apple Pie Bark


The name alone makes me drool. The first nibble doesn’t disappoint. The luscious bark melts smoothly and the fruit pieces provide texture. It’s like eating a chocolate apple pie – a perfect combination.

Retail price: $55
Size: 1 pound
Available: www.goldbelly.com

 

TravelPro luggage

Travelpro – Platinum Elite Carry-On Expandable Hardside Spinner

This durable carry-on features everything I need to travel with ease. Solid handles. Lightweight. Spinner wheels to maneuver out of tight spots. Compact for overhead storing on planes and trains. Plenty of compartments to keep myself organized. Expansion option to pack souvenirs. External USB ports to keep my devices charged. Most importantly, the chic luggage matches my aesthetic. Excellent choice.

Retail price: $369.99
Size: H23″ x W14.5″ x D9.5″
Available: www.travelpro.com
