Nothing quite says "fall" like cold and flu season! Luckily, vitamins can be a vital way to support the Immune System during hard times. A hot tip: always take as directed, via the back of the bottle! Some finds we're big on include:

 

2. Delectable Pumpkin Baked Goods

Sweet Ali's Pumpkin Loaf, accompanied by her famous cinnamon rolls.

Seasonal and extra festive, Sweet Ali's is all gluten-free with vegan options. Find her local, made-with-love goodies in our stores' freezer sections. Selection may vary by store, but some of her "greatest hits" include...

  • Pumpkin Loaf
  • Pumpkin cupcakes
  • Pumpkin pie

For those embracing quarantine, we love this organic canned pumpkin, and these gluten-free baking mixes from Simple Mills and Pamela's available for order!

3. Cozy Organic Socks for Crisp Nights

We're not ready for the draft to seep through the window! Luckily, we're always prepared with thick, soft socks. Maggie's classic, best-selling, mid-calf Organic Cotton Crew Socks come in various colors. Perfect for men or women, and versatile enough for dress or casual wear! 

  • Versatile unisex sock for dress or casual wear

4. GT's Living in Gratitude

 

We're huge fans of kombucha year-round, but this fall edition of "Living in Gratitude" takes the cake (or pumpkin pie). It's a warm welcome to the flavors of fall with crisp Pink Lady apple, fresh pressed carrot, turmeric, and aromatic cider spices. This is in addition to their fermented tea blend that's rich in probiotics. Available in select stores!

 

5. A Hot 'Cuppa Four Sigmatic for a Cozy Night In

Nothing creates the perfect ambiance for a crisp, autumn morning like a hot cuppa coffee in the morning. For a mushroom-and-coffee-based, healthful sip try Four Sigmatic! For those of you who are not familiar with the Four Sigmatic trend, it is...

  • Tastes just like coffee, not like mushrooms
  • Your go-to morning beverage to support productivity, focus, and creativity
  • Made with 100% organic Arabica coffee beans
  • Ready to drink with hot water, nut milk, and/or natural sweetener

(We also have a lovely selection of delicious coffee substitutes or coffees).

 

6. Festive BetterStevia & Monkfruit Sugarless Sweeteners

NOW® BetterStevia® and Monk Fruit are coming through with the seasonal flavors! Just a few drops of these liquid sweeteners are enough for your morning 'cuppa! We carry many options online, but a few faves include:

In case you're curious, NOW® BetterStevia® is a zero-calorie, low-glycemic, natural sweetener that makes a healthy substitute for sugar and artificial sweeteners. Unlike chemical sweeteners, it contains a certified organic stevia extract, and preserves the Stevia leaf's natural qualities in this better-tasting stevia. Likewise, Monk fruit, also known as the Chinese fruit "Luo Han Guo", is the newest zero-calorie sweetener. It makes a fantastic alternative to sugar in beverages.

8. An Autumnal Diffuser

 

This diffuser is perfect for channeling your inner fall goddess! Intricate, dark trees cast a perfect silhouette for just the right amount of autumn ambiance without being outright spooky!

This brings us to our next point! NOW Essential Oils come in just about any scent under the sun, but their fall-themed scents are what really get us excited!

  • The Nature's Shield oil blend is perfect for the seasonal change, plus, it's the high-quality bargain version of the famous Thieves scent.
  • Another favorite combination is mixing four drops of NOW Sandalwood Oil Blend, a drop of NOW Clove Oil, and a drop of NOW Cinnamon Cassia Oil. We call that one "apple pie" smell.
