Brands spotted

This feels like the summer of new launches. We have not one, not two, but THREE new launches this week! Lav is making single-serve salad dressings inspired by Armenian flavors, Tantos creates puffed pasta chips, and Sydney Carlson of Wildflower Cases has launched Lynnee, a cookware brand inspiring people to be brave in the kitchen.

Sadly, I'm not based in LA but if I were, I'd run to one of the many retailers selling Sungold Ice Pops. Their summer strawberry flavor would be so delicious while I tan on the beach.

Abstract has managed to create the coolest "nail drops" that harden to your nails in 60 seconds, making nail salons basically irrelevant. As a nail salon hater, this seems like the perfect product for me.

Stay cool out there!
