Bowlcut Founder Crystal Ung’s Off-Duty Essentials

You know, the kind where you’re pulling out all the stops. After a long week of tense shoulders and rushed mornings, nothing’s more rejuvenating than an at-home pamper session while my baby naps.

Sustainable, soft as clouds, and made in California? Richer Poorer is one of those brands that just speaks my language.

I’m a long-time fan of Golde’s delicious superfood supplements. Their matcha turmeric latte blend has gotten me through countless “running on fumes” types of days.

As a born & raised Los Angeleno (who’s also lived on the opposite coast), I can confidently say there’s no weekend better spent than parked on a Californian beach. And now, when I take my son out, I’m immediately reaching for these beach essentials.

Moms know that a well-organized kitchen is crucial to preserving your sanity. Although my son’s still too young for real food, I’m already preparing for the transition with Mushie. They grow so fast!

Universal truth: Couch time makes a parent’s world go round. Shutting my laptop and hanging out with my son at the end of a long day, surrounded by very soft things? Chef’s kiss.

Not-so-subtle plug: I genuinely use my own Bowlcut products every day. I first created our plant-based sauces to help my dad balance his heavy-sodium diet, and now live to help a whole new generation eat well, too. I hope you enjoy our sauces in abundance!

Even Monday’s leftovers can look new again with some thoughtful plating, and no one sets you up better for this than Material. I love that they’re designing for the whole family, too!

I’m a strong believer that dressing makes the food — both of the sauce and accessory varieties. Currently channeling picnic core at all of my summer dinner parties.
