Whether you prefer the challenge of the one-legged crow pose or opt for something more restorative like child’s pose, yoga is an excellent way to exercise, meditate, and relax all in one. To help us find our zen, we asked two of our 2nd Street District massage therapists, Lala K. and Kelly M., to show us some of their favorite yoga sequences, which everyone can do, too. Grab your mat and follow along.
Most people assume that lip balms, butters, and glosses are the best way to protect your lips from sun exposure. Not so. While these options certainly nourish and hydrate your lips, a true sunscreen is what you need to avoid those harmful UVA/UVB rays. Without proper lip sunscreen protection — like our favorite from Supergoop! — you’re actually allowing more UV rays to pass through the protective barrier, causing your lips to dry out and age faster.
Supergoop! founder, Holly Thaggard, started this premium line of sunscreens after learning two frightening facts. First, skin cancer is the most common of cancer in the United States, and second, that 90% of all telltale signs of aging are due to over exposure to the sun. She decided to raise awareness about these issues and began creating sunscreens that are lightweight, never greasy, are easily absorbed, and most importantly, protect your skin. Supergoop! sunscreens have been clinically proven to neutralize free-radical agents and improve collagen production, along with reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyper-pigmentation. But what truly sets Supergoop! a part from the mainstream sunscreens is that its products are oxybenzone-free. Oxybenzone is a harmful chemical that has been linked to hormone distribution and cell damage.
We’re loving Supergoop! Shine On Lip Screen. Formulated with grape seed extract, it delivers antioxidant protection and fights premature signs of aging. Just apply before or after your favorite lip products. $22
Another must-have? Supergoop! Fusion Lip Balms. Available in two different scents, this product is packed with shea fruit butter to lock in moisture and acai berries to combat harmful UVA rays. $10

Stylish, organic, and luxurious are just a couple of words to describe The Bearded Bastard‘s line of men’s grooming products. The award-winning line is the brainchild of The Bearded Bastard himself, Jeremiah Newton, which he developed in order to tame his signature handlebar mustache. First, he began creating small batches of the Woodsman Mustache out of his studio apartment, and soon, word spread about the wax’s intoxicating cedar scent and long-lasting hold. These products use only the finest natural ingredients, are from sustainable, responsible sources whenever possible, and are made right here in Austin, Texas. While traditional grooming products are made with a petroleum base, which can cause your skin to dry out, The Bearded Bastard’s are formulated with nourishing ingredients like beeswax, shea fruit butter and argan oil to hydrate your skin.
To celebrate Dad this Father’s Day, The Bearded Bastard is releasing two limited-time gift sets: the Traveler’s Dopp Kit and the All Things Morocco Gift Box.

When it comes to shopping for Dad, it can be a little tricky. Do I get him a card? Does he already have this?

From Dad-approved retreats to an Active Set that caters to weary limbs, these gifts are sure to surprise and delight him.
When it comes to getting that golden tan, many resort to the following: spending hours laying out in the sun unprotected, exposing the skin to damaging UV rays in tanning beds, or slathering on tanning lotions, which contain harmful chemicals and can leave a streaky effect. It’s time to toss out your trusty suntan oil and make the switch to Eco-Tan.
Created by Sonya Driver, Eco-Tan became her passion project after learning that her sister had been diagnosed with melanoma at age 30. In 2010, Eco-Tan made history by becoming the first self-tanner to be Certified Organic by the Australian Food and Drug Chain. Since then, it has continued to revolutionize the tanning industry by developing products that are free of silicone, parabens, phenoxyethanol, and artificial dyes and fragrances. Instead, Eco-Tan uses natural alternatives such as cocoa fruit, aloe vera, and avocado oil. Still need another reason to switch? Their organic tanning lotions are cruelty-free, 100% natural, and certified toxic-free by Safe Cosmetic Australia.
Not only is this organic tanning alternative helping you get that healthy summertime glow, but Eco-Tan also gives back. It supports charities such as The Fred Hollow Foundation, which focuses on treating and preventing blindness and other vision problems, and Good Return, which helps those living in poverty to grow their income in a sustainable way.
Come shop this premium line of all-natural self-tanners at any of our milk + honey locations.
Forget messy strips and gooey pastes — there’s a new, quick, and easy way to whiten your teeth with smileactives pens. They can brighten your smile up to 10 shades whiter in as little as two days! And to sweeten the deal? These stylish pens are available in five different flavors: Vanilla Mint, Spearmint, Winterberry, Chocolate Mint, and UltraMint.
Developed by biochemist, Eric Montgomery, and cosmetic dentist, Dr. Robert O. Wolf, smileactives pens are formulated with a potent base of 9% hydrogen peroxide whitening gel. That’s almost three times the amount found in conventional whitening products! That’s not all, though. These pens contain 50 percent more whitening gel than other products, dry in 30 seconds, and one pen will last for at least a month when used twice daily. Unlike traditional strips and pastes, which are filled with harsh chemicals that can cause enamel erosion and lead to tooth sensitivity, these fast-acting pens have a high water content and utilize enamel-safe penetration technology to make those sensitivity issues a thing of the past.
Just like all of the products in our locations, smileactives pens passed our stringent clean ingredient inspection and are a safe way to enhance your already-gorgeous smile. Stop by your nearest milk + honey and pick up this must-have product.
