Partners Hub | My Favorite Products & Services

A Nod to Some of My Favorite Things

I’m often asked about what products and services I personally use and recommend. It's about time I got my act together and put them all in one place! 

☕️🥣☔️🍦🐾 🌈  So here it is - a hub for my favorite things 🌻🌸🌹🐾🍷🌱

When we find something fabulous, it's natural to want to talk about it, share it - sometimes scream it from the mountaintops. I love watching people who love what they do, do what they love - and are good at it. Plus, I get to reap the rewards.

Great coffee. Chocolate. Good wine that doesn't make your head explode. Musicians who make our hearts sing. Talented artists and artisans. Healers who get it right. 

Here's to all of you who are the BEST at what you do - making the best for the rest! Thank you for putting us to shame - and for making our lives all the better for it. 

I will be adding to this list over time.

Got any I should know about? Drop me a line and tell me if I'm missing out.

💚 Val

⭐️ Heads up: If you purchase something after clicking on some of these links, I may earn a cuppa coffee from it. It will not cost you any more. In fact, it may actually cost you less because I’m picky about choosing partners who are generous - in addition to making fantabulous products! This helps a little in supporting the work I do. I do not accept any money for reviews. I only recommended products I personally use and love, or that come highly recommended by someone whose opinion I value.
