On the first weekend in May, The Rare Ones Crew had the opportunity to attend the largest made-in-america shopping event, Unique LA. This two-day event was held at the penthouse of the California Market Center located in downtown Los Angeles. With over 350 designers and artists shoppers were able to discover an assortment of products including handcrafted jewelry and accessorizes, decedent cookies and cakes, fragrant candles and oils, as well as fun t-shirts, tanks and hoodies.
One of favorite parts of the shopping event was tasting all of the delicious foods for sale. Our friends at Joia were kind enough to provide every shopper with a free soda. That's right FREE!!! Joia, from the Boundary Waters Brands, is an all natural soda blended together with a combination of fruits, herbs and spices. Each flavor is made from scratch with all made with natural ingredients; nothing artificial. Joia offers flavors such as Pineapple coconut & nutmeg, Lime hibiscus & clove, Grapefruit chamomile & cardamom, Blackberry pomegranate & ginger, Orange jasmine & nutmeg and Ginger apricot & allspice. Get your own case of Joia All Natural Soda at places such as Wholefoods and Caribou Coffee.

The Rare Ones is pleased to announce that we have expanded our collection to include eco-friendly tote bags. Los Angelenos have had to make a change in our grocery shopping routine. In an effort to reduce waste Los Angeles passed a plastic bag ban earlier this year. All grocery stores are prohibited from providing customers with plastic grocery bags at checkout. Now when we go to the grocery store we can bring our own bags or pay 10 cents per paper bag at checkout. :-( Instead of carrying old plastic bags we have decided to invest in awesome reusable cotton bags. 
I will be posting a lot about yoga, my practice and other great health and fitness tips. Are you a yogi? If so, how long have you been practicing?
We searched and searched until we found shirts that are super soft, comfortable and have an amazing fit for both men and women. All of our shirts are embroidered on super soft American Apparel shirts. Choose from more than 15 different.
