SENSATIONAL & SEASONAL

I have come to love and trust the low-tox brands that I use, but nothing puts a punctuation on that love more than limited-edition seasonal releases. This is me, sharing with you some of the most exceptional, high-quality products that honor your low-tox home then elevate it with the best fall vibes!




7 Cozy Ways: Creating a Low-Tox Home This Fall

THE SEARCH IS REAL

Is a brand really clean? Does their product really work? Do I enjoy using the product? Are their fragrances or flavors created without synthetic ingredients? It's not simple finding brands that allow you to answer yes to each of these questions. If you do strike it rich in 'yeses', you still may find that you feel left out when it comes to indulging in the riches of each season because those brands don't offer seasonal options. Don't count yourself out from the pumpkin patch, I got you!

  1. Clean Burning Coconut Wax Candles w/ Wood Wicks


Tiny pumpkins and candlelight


SET THE LOW-TOX MOOD

What better way to get in the mood for fall than filling the air with scents that take us back to our happiest cozy memories and spark our excitement for the apple-filled, pumpkin-spiced season to come. Without tanking our autumn spirit with too much chemical-free chat, let's quickly recap... we don't want to pollute our home with VOCs released by popular candle brands that use questionable wax blends, synthetic fragrances & dyes, and chemical coated wicks.


CRACKLING WOOD WICKS

A crackling FSC-Certified wood wick is like a mini campfire on a cool autumn evening. Who's brining the s'mores?

Handcrafted in the Sierras | Candle-safe Essential Oils | Extended Burn-times


Hemlock Park Pumpkin Creme candle amber glass jar
HEMLOCK PARK CANDLES 7.2oz, 8oz, 16oz

LUX SCENTS & LONG BURN

Mulled Cider and Mission Fig are dynamically layered and invite the warmth of the season into any space. Pumpkin Creme is a steady favorite with my readers. It's an absolute must-have in my home too. Mid-September, I put a different brand on my countertop (using up purchases made for trials), and it was doing nothing for the room... I replaced it with Pumpkin Creme and it does everything for the room. Beyond the gorgeous natural scents in Hemlock Park candles, their lifespan is unlike any other wax type or brand that I've tried. On average, with proper wick trimming, my 8oz jar candles burn for 80+ hours (designated as 60hrs).




  1. Organic Low-Acid Pumpkin Spice Coffee


Cup of coffee, tiny white pumpkin, and navy & orange flannel


THE TASTE OF FALL

Here it is, right in your cup. The taste and smell of a pumpkin spice coffee speaks to a lot of us. This isn't a PSL, but it's an organic, low-tox. mold-free, and mycotoxin-free way to kick off your day and your fall season for around $2.00 per cup without the sugary syrups and hefty price. Alright, splurging on a pumpkin spice latte is fair. They are a force during the season, but a good seasonally spiced blend of straight up coffee at home, for sure, keeps it cozy.


PLASTIC-FREE PUMPKIN PODS

If K-cups are your thing, my top pick brand also keeps the microplastics and aluminum (covers) out of your coffee. Their coffee pods are fully compostable, Keurig compatible, and contain 12g of organic low-acid grounds (vs standard 8-11g).



Fabula Organic Low-Acid Coffee

Tested for 350+ Toxins | Mold-free & Mycotoxin-free

Fabula Pumpkin Spice coffee, mini pumpkin, and ground spices
FABULA ORGANIC COFFEE 12oz



FLAVORS INSPIRED BY FALL

  • Pumpkin Spice (coming soon!)

  • Hazelnut

  • Buttery Caramel

RICH FLAVOR

Buttery Caramel and Pumpkin Spice are especially nice for cool autumn days. I've tried all of the Fabula flavors, and these two, along with Vanilla, are very enjoyable if you like a little flavor with your brew. Fabula uses natural flavors which do not overtake the decadent flavor of the beans.


NO JITTERS NO BURN

Fabula is the only coffee that I've tried that does not make me jittery or anxious. No stomach burn with Fabula either, just a warm toasty feeling for the chilly season.




  1. All-Natural Goat Milk Foaming Hand Soap


Apples and soapy suds


PUMP-kins

We wash our hands multiple times a day in multiple rooms of the house, kitchen, powder room, laundry room, garage... hand soap is a perfect way to pump up (or out) autumn vibes throughout the day.


FINALLY FOUND YOU... NEW FALL SCENTS AND ALL

Trying different brands is absolutely part of what I do, but I was getting stonewalled by foaming hand soap! I tried so many brands and did not like a single one. Not only did one of my favorite brands recently start making foaming hand soap, but they also just added 2 new foaming hand soap scents for fall, their popular Chai Tea and Almond Delight!

CREAMY LUSCIOUS SUDS

These bubbles do not disappoint. Creamy, velvety, softening, effective, and... in fall scents!!




  1. All-Natural Goat Milk Soap


Tangerines, olive oil, almonds, and orange bar of soap

KEEP THE SUDS GOING

Why should our hands have all the fall fun? We can treat our body to the same nourishing vitamins & antioxidants and seasonally delicious scents with Bend Soap Co. Goat Milk Bar Soap. These low-tox, skin-loving soaps last me, at minimum, one (1) month in the shower. I use a separate bar for my face which lasts about 3-4 months washing 2-3 times per day. My skin is so chilled-out with this simple routine. Just bar soap, no other products, no chemicals.

  1. Organic Loose-Leaf Tea


Teacups with apple slices and nutmeg


CAN'T SPELL AUTUMN WITHOUT THE 'T'EA

A soothing cup of seasonal tea speaks to the senses and is a welcomed friend any time of day... the spiced nostalgic aroma, the heat from the cup warming your hands, the taste of the beautiful bounty of fall, the comfort that quiets your nervous system. Teas have many healing and protective qualities. Whether you are reflectively recentering on your own or sharing good conversation with loved ones, a brilliant fall tea blend brings the autumn season home.


AUTHENTIC TASTING FALL TEA

I've been drinking hot tea for decades. I promise that it's worth jumping over to loose-leaf tea to indulge in the brand I'm about to share. If you already steep your tea this way, I think you'll be impressed with their selection. They offer the most expansive variety of naturally flavored loose-leaf teas (no synthetic flavorings, no teabags releasing microplastics). I'm still intrigued at how they get such delectable, flavor-forward, authentic taste into these pretty blends.

DELICIOUS QUALITY & PRICE

Y'all, I order enough Apple Spice for the whole year. One of my readers orders multiple bulk pouches of Banana Bread Red, throughout the year! Open Door Tea is a real hidden gem of a small business. Shipments are quick, packaging is air-tight & whimsical, and a cup of tea (depending on size ordered) costs between $0.30 - $0.50 per cup. The 2oz-3oz tubes (same size tube just different density/weight of contents) will make approx. 20-30 cups of tea. The 8oz bulk pouches make 80-100 cups.




  1. Organic Pumpkin Spice Snacks
