Local Female Founded Brand Highlight
These are some of my favorite brands and local shops that just happen to be owned by women I adore! Please consider shopping small and local with them this gifting season! Just click on the images below to head straight to their website for more info!
Late Night Bakes
Use code LEVELUP10 for 10% off your purchase
I met sweet Ella who owns Late Night Bakes during the pandemic when she was doing a popup in downtown Danville sampling her delicious and healthy treats. After trying her homemade paleo, keto, GF, grain/sugar free desserts and ridiculously good almond butter, I was all in! A selection of her goodies (she also sells cookie mixes to make at home) would be an adorable hostess gift! Her treats are also the perfect option to have at your holiday gatherings for your GF and health savvy guests!
Philosophie Superfoods
Sophie Jaffe, one of my Insta BFFs is the mastermind behind Philosophie Superfoods out of LA. Her company makes raw, organic, GF products that make your life better, inside and out. If you follow me on the gram you know that I am hooked! I use their Liquid Sunshine (chlorophyll) drops in my water daily and can't get enough of their Cacao Dream and Fall Vibes blends in my daily lattes. Any of their products would be an ideal gift for your friends and family who love delicious and nutritious superfoods!
Agapé Candles
Rachel who owns Agape was introduced to me by a very dear and mutual friend. Agape means "the highest form of love" and their candles and home fragrance line evoke just that. Everything Agape makes is eco friendly, nontoxic and made here in Nor Cal. All of their scents are out of this world incredible and if you come into my home, you are sure to smell an Agape candle burning, especially this holiday time! The perfect gift for anyone on your list!
South Austin Lane
Use code LEVELUP15 for 15% off your purchase in-store or online.
Owned by two fun and creative local Danville moms, Jennifer and Lobi, South Austin Lane is a one stop shop where you will find gifts for every occasion! I first first learned about SA Lane when a girlfriend gifted me a monogramed robe that I wear practically everyday! They recently opened an adorable storefront downtown and carry personalized gifts such as pillows, cups, trays, bags, keychains, you name it! If you are looking for a unique and unforgettable gift this holiday season, definitely check them out!
Beyond Active
Use code LEVELUP20 for 20% off your first two purchases online or in-store.
You know my BA obsession and I will forever be part of their hype crew! Courtney and all of the girls that work for her are the best and part of what make this shop extra special. They carry the best selection of activewear but also have so many other items in store that you don't want to miss such as swimwear, jewelry, workout accessories, shoes, and the list goes on! Grab a cute set for yourself and your workout bestie this Christmas! We all know you get a better workout when you love your fit and there's no better place to find it than locally at Beyond Active!
Altwell CBD
Use code LEVELUP for 25% off your first order
I love the story behind my friend Nikki's family-owned business, Altwell. Her mom was struggling with sleep issues and they discovered CBD and it's ability to improve sleep, stress, relaxation, balance and overall wellness. So much so, they decided to build a new company around it! Altwell provides purposefully curated CBD products to help you live each day to the fullest. I use their Facial Oil and Sport Stick daily and could not live without their line of products. Give the gift of comfort and calm to loved ones this holiday season!
The Tox
Owned by my friend Nina who is an RN, The Tox WC is a little slice of heaven here in the East Bay! Their services are not your average lymphatic massage and if you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out! Treat yourself this holiday (especially after all of those cocktail parties you'll be attending) and your body will thank you! Not only do I love their body/facial treatments, but I am also addicted to their body cream and use it with their contour paddle daily! These two products, or a giftcard would make for thoughtful gift of health for a friend or family member!
