ROMAN FOCUS

February 6, 2022

I am loving these new products from Roman. Especially, Roman Focus .

Roman enters the nootropic dietary supplement arena with a science-backed, fast-acting solution for calm energy and heightened concentration, while Roman Life tackles overall health at the cellular level with a powerful, doctor-formulated NAD+ supplement to promote healthy aging.

I just ordered 3 months’ worth of FOCUS because frankly, it’s helping my ADHD just as good, if not better, than Adderal.

Roman is branded for men, and totally cool, but cool enough for women.

Figlia, The Female-Founded, Non-Alcoholic Aperitivo You Need Now

February 2, 2022

Figlia, a female-founded, non-alcoholic aperitivo brand made with the sober community at the forefront. 

Figlia was founded by 25-year-old Lily Geiger in honor of her father who she lost to alcoholism at age 20. This experience led Geiger to explore society’s relationship with alcohol, identify many of the factors that hinder recovery, and engage in open conversations surrounding alcohol consumption. 

Figlia launched in April of 2021 with Bottle 001.,Fiore, a delightful but sophisticated aromatic non-alcoholic aperitivo with notes of Rose, Bitter Orange, and Clove. Envision tasting the lushness of Italian gardens combined with the energy of sidewalk dinners in New York City.

Both gluten-free and vegan, Figlia, is made out of all-natural ingredients and utilizes a hand-capped method and intensive hot-fill process to ensure a clean, preservative-free product. 

Unlike other non-alcoholic spirits currently on the market, Figlia does not mimic the alcohol taste and has taken many steps to ensure it is not triggering for those suffering from alcohol or substance addiction. Additionally, Geiger conducted extensive research to ensure there would be no effect on serotonin levels, allowing those on antidepressants to enjoy. 

Beyond the physical Figlia product, Geiger is on a mission to create an accessible community where sober, sober-curious, or those just looking to try something new can feel included, share experiences, find joy and create meaningful connections and moments. To bring this mission to the larger community, Figlia gives a percentage of its proceeds to Partnership to End Addiction, a non-profit that focuses on providing support for individuals and families impacted by addiction.

The Deep Therapeutic Sport’s Massage Your Body Is Crying For

December 25, 2021

It’s that time of the year when you’ve given and given and GIVEN and now it’s full-on what about me mode. Maybe it’s just a quiet cry it in the middle of the night but it’s a “no, seriously, what the fuck about me?!”

Nothing says hell yasss me time, like some therapeutic bodywork. Massage is always my go-to self-care treat. I was excited to check out this guy Terry’s work. This is not a soft and fuzzy warm and cozy deal. This is, you got to his raw and NYC cool little private training gym, hop on his table (wear something warm and cozy it can be chilly) and he gets to work on you. No frills, just deep work.

Of course, he can also come to you. I chose to try the gym/studio because I live a few blocks away and wanted to check it out.

So, the work is VERY GOOD. Deep and sportsy – made me feel like a real athlete. He worked deep into my scapula and aching shoulder in a way I so deeply needed. I was fully dressed – in my sweats – this is not an under the towel type of thing – and he worked one body part at a time – a combo of many disciplines, strokes and styles. It was just right and exactly what my body needed. I’m excited to go back and just fully relax and focus now that I know more about Terry and his work (I am always a little in editor mode on my first try, asking questions and forgetting to focus on how things FEEL sometimes.) Even so, this work felt great.
