Light Rosés and Sweet Nothings

August 10, 2021

This month, I am sharing some food, drink, and travel-related products for the entire family. They bring fun to the kitchen and put smiles on faces. I hope they do the same for you.

MYZ Rose Wine

MYX Fusions Light Rosé

This refreshing rosé hits the spot with its ripe fruit notes and delicate dry finish. It sets the mood for a summertime soiree. It’s now my favorite canned wine. Available in Light Chardonnay which is equally good. Cheers!

Retail price: $12.00 per 4-pack
Size: 250ml
Available: https://myxfusions.com

 

Cali Organic Bagel Mix

Cali Bagels Organic Bagel Mix

This mix consists of everything you need to make delicious bagels at home. The instructions are easy to follow. It doesn’t take long to prepare and bake. They come out the oven golden, soft, and chewy. They taste amazing! Move over Auntie Anne’s; I’m in love with Cali.

Retail price: $21.95 (2-pack)
Size: 22 ounces
Available: https://calibagels.com

 

Mother Shrub

Mother Scrub Drinking Vinegar, Ginger

I prefer consuming this zingy vinegar as a shot for a morning pick-me-up. The spicy ginger warms the mouth, and the apple cider leaves a mild tartness on the tongue. Surprisedly, I think they complement each other due to the well-blended cane sugar. Available in other flavors.

Retail price: $8 | $12 | $19.50
Size:  4 ounces | 8 ounces | 16 ounces
Available: https://mothershrub.com

 

Sweet Nothings Smoothies

Sweet Nothings Variety Pack

It’s still hot outside and kids are heading back to school. Treat them to some spoonable smoothies for breakfast or an afternoon snack without the added sugar. Each one contains flax and chia seeds without compromising the taste. The fresh fruit provides a sweet creaminess for a lip-smacking experience. Single flavors available.

Retail price: $46.99 (12-pack)
Size: 3.5 ounces
Available: https://eatsweetnothings.com, Thrive Market and Amazon Fresh

 

Four Roses Small Batch Select Bottle

Four Roses Bourbon Small Batch Select

I’m no bourbon connoisseur, but I like this. It goes down hot and smooth. It releases a hint of sweetness while the heat lingers on my palate. It makes a wonderful cocktail with a splash or two of cola.

Retail price: $59.99
Size:  750 ml
Available: https://fourrosesbourbon.com and https://drizly.com

 

Garlic Goodness Chili Pepper

Mariam’s Garlic Goodness Dips

These dips will get you into some delicious trouble.  Commonly known as “Toom,” these Lebanese garlic dips will have you dipping again and again and are perfect to use as a marinade and dressing over vegetables, proteins and more.  The zesty smooth tubs of goodness are plant-based and ketogenic and a garlic lover’s dream come true.
Retail price: $8.99
Size: 8 oz.
Available:  https://www.mariamsmediterranean.com (California only)

 

Piro Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Olio Piro. Mezzo Litro, Annata 2020

Imported from Italy, this extra virgin oil has a silky earthiness that I enjoy. I use it to sauté vegetables and as a dipping sauce for crusty bread. Delightful!

Retail price: $59
Size:  500ml
Available: https://olio-piro.com

 

Nathan Bag Travel Duffle Bag

Nathan’s Runaway 20 Liter Day Pack

This stylish pack holds all the necessities for hiking, running, or a day trip. It has compartments for a laptop, clothing, and water bottles. I’m fond of the hidden tube port for a water bladder – a great feature to stay hydrated. Contents stay in place. The chest strap also fits comfortably. I’m a new fan of this lightweight bag.

Retail price: $40
Size: 20L
Available: https://www.nathansports.com

 

Db Duplex Duffle 

 

Db Duplex 50L Split Duffel

I’m crazy about this six-pocket functional bag. Carry it with ease as a duffel or a backpack while on an excursion. Unzip the middle portion to open and fold down. The sturdy recycled nylon holds it rectangle shape. This allows you to store items into two protected sections. Neat!

Retail price: $259
Size:  H 51 cm x W 34 cm x D 28 cm
Available: https://dbjourney.com
