SB Hot List: 9 New Discoveries We Love
Trader Joe’s Cold-Pressed Green Juice
“I have been loving this green juice from Trader Joe’s! It’s 90 calories and includes 17 kale leaves, one pound of spinach, a quarter of an English cucumber, one celery stalk, one lemon, and two inches of ginger. It tastes exactly how you’d imagine it would, but at $3.99 per bottle, it’s a quick and easy way to consume lots of good-for-you ingredients!” — Bailey Torkelson, Marketing Manager

Kova Collection Sofa from Albany Park
“I recently scoured the ENTIRE internet for a less-expensive dupe of Restoration Hardware’s Cloud Collection. I landed on this sofa from Albany Park’s Kova Collection — I’m in love with the sleek-but-comfy construction.” — Alissa Harb, Managing Editor

Zesty Paws’ Stay Green Bites
“These Stay Green Bites are super helpful if you have a dog whose tee tee turns your grass brown! Depending on their size, you’ll supplement one meal a day with one to three pieces, and, for most dogs, it affects their urine content just enough to keep your grass green!” — Liza Graves, CEO & Founder

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil from Yolan
“I recently enjoyed a gorgeous dinner at Yolan in Nashville, TN, where I experienced their new spring menu — eight courses of impeccably crafted dishes from Chef Joey Fecci that honor Italy’s Puglia region. One of the finishing touches that sent my senses reeling was Yolan’s extra-virgin olive oil house blend, which, it turns out, they also sell. You can purchase two sizes directly from the restaurant or The Joseph Hotel gift shop — a 5-ounce tin for $17 or a 16.9-ounce bottle for $39 (naturally, I went home with both). Made in Tuscany and impossibly flavorful, it’s not your run-of-the-mill bargain brand. We’re talking a blend of premium, authentic, you-can-put-it-on-anything olive oil here. And it’s made just for the restaurant! Whether you’re dipping focaccia or drizzling it over tomatoes and basil, it’s perfectly dreamy.” — Jenna Bratcher, Associate Editor & Lead Nashville Writer

Beach Towel Clips
“These towel clips are a game-changer! Whether you’re lying by the pool or the beach, you clip them onto the sides of your towel, so it doesn’t smack you in the face or fly away. Plus, they come in a pack of eight and are only $7!” — Katelyn Caughron, Local Business Partner Client Success Representative & Social Media Coordinator

July® Luggage
“I have July brand luggage and LOVE it. I personally find it just as sturdy (if not more so) than Away for the same price. Plus, it has more give to it and isn’t as hard and rigid when you need to overpack. It also has a USB/battery pack/charging port in it!” — Kate Reddick, Executive Assistant
The carry-on luggage from July® is spacious and includes an ejectable battery approved for flying across all major airlines. Image: July®
Book Lovers by Emily Henry
“I’m a real sucker for a good romance novel, and Emily Henry is one of my favorite authors in the genre. I loved People We Meet on Vacation and Beach Read, so picking up a copy of Emily’s newest book was a no-brainer. It has everything you could ever want in a love story — a workaholic woman running into her workplace nemesis while vacationing in a charming small town. Not to mention, there is also a really sweet love story between two sisters! I promise you’ll fall in love with all of the characters and Sunshine Falls, NC.” — Brianna Goebel, Associate Editor & Staff Writer

Frozen Dessert Sandwiches from Trader Joe’s
“These frozen dessert sandwiches from Trader Joe’s are a dairy-free version of the classic ice cream sandwich! Each sandwich is made with a sweetened vanilla-flavored frozen oat beverage nestled between two chocolate wafer cookies. They are also vegan, and taste almost identical to the original nostalgic summer treat.” — Anne Henley Walker, Content Marketing Assistant & Agency Relations

PYT Beauty Brow Goals Brow Pencil
“I love this PYT Beauty brow pencil! It’s available at most retailers, including Ulta and Amazon.” — Cameron Meek, Account Executive
