Trendy Kendie Summer Faves!

And You, You Get A Gold Star!
I Like Totally Love That!




It seems as though Summer has slipped away once again! No biggie, there were so many things to do, people to see, and stuff to find! Take a peak at all of my fave products and hot spots...I promise you're gonna love 'em!

It's important for us to find and support companies that are innovative, provide quality products, and quality ingredients! What we purchase matters! If we demand quality, it's ours for the taking!

Prepare Yourself For...*drum roll*

The Trendy Kendie Top 5 Summer Picks!

1. Lookin' Good: Sugar Bear Skincare.





Don't keep this brand a secret, it super rocks! I met Jennifer Pliska, Owner of Sugar Bear Skincare at my photography studio after photographing her two adorable kiddos!! SB Skincare products are all natural, smell super yummy, and simply amazing! 

She gave me a couple products to try, and I would highly recommend both. Check out a list of all of her great creations and see for yourself! Want to meet the lady behind this great skincare line?! You can find her at the Charlotte Regional Farmer's Market.



The Sugar Bear Facial Moisturizer smells clean and yummy! A lot of product goes a long way, and it left my face feeling smooth, glowing, and without that greasy feeling! The Sugar Bear Insect Repellent is another super amazing product! It's not sticky at all, smells super delicious, and keeps the bugs away without the chemicals!!




2. Snack Attack: KIND Bars, UNREAL PB Cups, and Veggie Stix.

Companies are listening to us and providing some super yummy snacks that are GMO Free, contain no artificial colors or flavors, and totally rock! Try out my Top 3 Fave Brands!

KIND Bars




KIND Bars are the best snack ever! Not only do they have a million flavors to choose from, I have yet to find one that I don't like! Their bars range from fruity, chocolate (yum), and salty covering all of the major bases! Have a crazy chocolate craving? This is your bar!


UNREAL PB Cups

The UNREAL products seem to be poppin' up everywhere in Charlotte. I actually first learned about them at Target in search of some quality movie candy and recently saw a stand at The Healthy Home Market this past week! Of course, I had to support their marketing and scored some PB Cups!

PB Cups-NOM! NOM! NOM!

Veggie Stix

Potato chips, get out the way!! It's time for the best salty snack ever, Veggie Stix by Good Health Natural Foods! This is the best veggie chip brand by far and is poppin' up everywhere, even at Harris Teeter!! This snack is GMO free, contains no hydrogenated oils, 55% less fat than chips, and full of vitamins and minerals. I think they taste better than chips too!




3. Bring on the Brunch: Zada Jane's Corner Cafe

There are not enough great things to say about this restaurant! I love the Plaza Midwood area filled with hipsters, cool buildings, restaurants, and shops...what more could you ask for? Errrmm...a Mimosa?! Check out Zada Jane's Corner Cafe brunch for amazing Mimosas, NO GMO ingredients, and quality grass-fed, no hormone meat options!




I've tried it all! Check them out for dinner too...it's all amazing!

4. Dress to Impress: Buffalo Exchange.




The Buffalo Exchange is a super trendy thrift shop located in Plaza Midwood. This store is full of great buys and supported by locals trading in their old outfits for something different. You will find great clothing, accessories, and shoes without the junk! Check them out on your way to brunch at Zada Jane's Cafe. You can find 'em right next door!

$6 Shirt! 
$3 Belt! YES!

5. Juicing Power: RAAW Juice

RAAW Juices are super awesome and a great option when you don't have the time to make your own! Forget the crappy Naked Juice brand and check out RAAW!! Haven't heard of the recent lawsuit against Pepsi's product, Naked Juice?! Make sure you fill out the Naked Juice Class Action Lawsuit and demand quality for our country! No proof of purchase necessary and a $45 claim is up for grabs! If you receive your fat check, I suggest using the money to support a company like RAAW Juice or your local juice bar (The Healthy Home MarketEarth Fare, and Luna's Living Kitchen) in order to help those companies trying to keep us healthy and fight GMOs!
