DoguaBrian Fate had a vision. He dreamed that one day his chocolate lab Ophelia would some day have a healthy, tasty, hydrating drink that would not only help her maintain her active lifestyle, but even provide her with the nutrients necessary to help her improve that lifestyle for the long run. And to Brian, we say one word…woof. Yes, woof, Brian, because we salute you, with our paws held high.

According to Brian, Dogua “contains essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients for increased strength, endurance and an enhanced mental state of mind”. This healthy drink also contains glucosamine for improved joints, ginseng for overall dog health and electrolytes for hydration. With an allergen free, all natural peanut butter flavor added, your dog is sure to enjoy it, and you can rest comfortably knowing you aren’t giving your dog any artificial flavors or additives. Only the best for Sparky.

Bringing home the bacon

Lollyphile Maple-Bacon LollipopsDo you ever sit in your office and have a craving for the good ol’ days, growing up on the farm, waking up when the crow calls in the morning and rolling out of bed just to run down stairs following the smell of your mamma frying up some crispy bacon on that wood burning stove of you have down in the kitchen? Sigh… We do. But hey, before you pack your bags, buy a one-way ticket and move on out back to Idaho, why don’t you just order a pack of these suckers (literally suckers, not trying to be cool with the word that time) and itch that scratch you’ve been having for maple-ly bacon goodness.

Introducing the the Maple-Bacon Lollipops by Lollyphile. These delectable little sweets are made with sustainable, organic, cured bacon and and pure Vermont maple syrup, bringing the best of the savory to tango with the stuff your sweet tooth can’t live without.

And let’s face it, mamma always skimped out on the good stuff. She always gave you the cheap, generic brand syrup and fatty bacon from the local store. Now that you’re a grown man, providing for yourself (i.e. ordering your food online via Seamless Web and sending your laundry out to the Korean woman down the street), you deserve to treat yourself to the best bacon and the purest of lip-smacking syrups from that state we only associate with giving us two things: the leader of the mormons and the man who gave us lawn tractors.

Seven Deadly Sins CollectionSome days when you get home from a busy day spent drooling over your co-worker’s rack, maliciously kicking over a perambulator in your path and greedily gobbling up all of the remaining bread loaves at your local bread shop, you feel like lighting a candle to commemorate the wretchedness of your day. For others, you just think these candles look cool.

Introducing the Seven Deadly Sins Collection of candles from the Modern Alchemy line by DL Company. These fantastically simple, savory little candles bring out the worst (or for some the best—depending on the viewpoint) character traits in all of us with their luscious and dark fragrances.

Our personal favorite, Gluttony (you be the judge on why), features a blend of Vanilla and Cocoa, mixed with yeast and hay making you want to nibble right on the damn thing while it rests spitefully in its exquisite black tin. Tim down the hall nearly lit his nose on fire trying.

Check out all of the wickedly luxurious scents here.
