June 24, 2014 Corn and Co.

Corn and Co. first came on my radar at a party thrown by The Good Ones. They were at the dumpling battle I covered as well. I’ve been trying to buy more ever since! So I was excited when we had Red Sox tickets because Corn and Co. is the official popcorn of the Red […]

June 11, 2014 Beacon Hill Chocolates

I love boxes of  chocolates. Sounds cliche, but I’m not talking about Russell Stover here,  I’m talking high quality chocolate from Beacon Hill Chocolates. I received these as a gift – they are equally good looking as they were delicious. You can taste the quality ingredients used to make these chocolates – these would make […]

April 18, 2014 Skoah – Chestnut Hill

It was a rainy on Sunday, a perfect day for a little pampering. I headed over to The Street in Chestnut Hill to get my fitskin facial.  While I was waiting for Anastasiya, I had the chance to chat with Pete Dziedzic, who co-owns Skoah with his husband  Jay Judas. I love Pete’s story, he […]

Sam Singer, a Watertown native, and graduate of Hobart college, started Train Gum in in his dorm room (where all great ideas start). After moving back to the Boston area, he now operates Train Gum out of Somerville. Wanting to bring gum into the natural foods market, Singer formulated a gum with 5 ingredients: Chicle […]

April 3, 2014 Graeter’s

March 27, 2014 Olives and Grace – Sweet Lydia’s, Liddabit, Apotheker’s

I stopped in to Olives and Grace on Christmas Eve (I’m catching up on posts!), I was doing some last minute shopping and figured I could pick up some stocking stuffers. Check out “The King candy bar” from Liddabit Sweets. Never heard of Liddabit? They are a small company based out of Brooklyn, and the […]

March 22, 2014 Fox Point Pickling Co.

So a co-worker revealed a hidden talent – he’s a canner. Lucky me, he decided to bring me in the last jar of carrots within days of us meeting! It took me a while to get the lid open, but well worth the wait. Zared makes these at home, along with all sorts of wonderful […]
