ChungKing Mansion Keychain

$20.00

Rock Plan’s green ChungKing keychain recalls both the notoriously nefarious multi-story residential building in Hong Kong as well as Wong Kar-wai’s hypnotic romantic comedy ChungKing Express. Paying homage to one of the esteemed director’s films, his distinct neon-tinged visuals and the chaos and mystery of the building, this keychain to the mansion captures the thrill and nostalgia of the site.

Classic Pancake and Waffle Mix

$24.00

Vegan, non-GMO, free from gluten and the most common nine allergens, Parktake’s classic pancake and waffle mix—with no peanuts, eggs, dairy, soy, tree nuts, sesame or artificial flavors and colors—is (perhaps surprisingly) appetizing. The base is a blend of gluten-free flours, including organic light buckwheat flour and tapioca flour, with potato starch, oat milk powder and organic fair trade cane sugar. Just add water to the plant-based mix, and the resulting pancakes will be the perfect texture and color, making them just as enticing as traditional ones. Founder Denise Woodard (who created Partake when her daughter was diagnosed with various food allergies) also donates to No Kid Hungry and Black Futures in Food & Beverage. Price is for three boxes.

Awakening Artemis: Deepening Intimacy with the Living Earth and Reclaiming Our Wild Nature

$28.00

Between chronic asthma, a car accident that fractured her back and neck and sexual trauma, Vanessa Chakour has endured a lot, and tenaciously pursued several paths to recovery. In her book Awakening Artemis, Chakour shares the way plants helped her heal, deepened her understanding of self, connected her to the natural world and elevated her confidence and relationships. Interspersed with experiences from the author, each chapter focuses on a single plant and how its characteristics connect to specific issues related to healing—like neural pathways in the brain, feelings of alienation due to racism and much more. Both a moving tale of Chakour’s journey and a useful resource on plants and nature, this book inspires self-growth in multiple ways.
