A superfood latte for Valentine's Day? The idea of mixing Golde Superfood Latte Blend (basically a healthy hot chocolate) with coffee as a treat for your sweetie is taking over Instagram. This Golde blend contains healthful ingredients that boost your mood, skin and digestion. It's made with turmeric, coconut milk powder, cacao, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and black pepper. Use it in coffee, smoothies or with just hot water.

"A healthy indulgence," wrote a fan. "My husband and I aren’t early adopters of food/health crazes, so we are just now exploring the benefits of turmeric....It’s reminiscent of hot cocoa. And I believe it helped relieve some of the joint discomfort (almost like arthritic hand pain) I’ve experienced after the birth of our son."

It's taken a minute for folks to come around to the notion of a natural deodorant, and to find an Earth-friendly one with rave reviews is rare, but PiperWai has come up with an excellent formula that's garnered nearly 3,800 perfect ratings on Amazon. It's safer for you and the environment. The cream foregoes pore-blocking aluminum and relies on natural ingredients — namely activated charcoal to absorb moisture and soothing coconut oil and shea butter. Smooth on a pea-sized amount for all-day freshness. Especially great for those with sensitive skin.

One fan gushed: "I've searched high and low for a natural deodorant that doesn't smell funny/strange/bad and feel uncomfortable when applied. I finally found a product that exceeds my expectations in PiperWai! It actually feels BETTER than the big name deodorants AND last longer-works better. I enjoy the outdoors, from sports (contact mostly) to desert adventures and after a long day, PiperWai stands the test where those other deodorants would put off a strange mix of unpleasant odors sometimes halfway through the day."

Briogeo

A natural haircare brand that actually delivers on performance is a refreshing alternative to the heavily fragranced and chemical-laden products we normally pick up at the drugstore—and the other natural brands that just don’t do the job. Nancy Twine uses her grandmother’s handed-down haircare remedies, revamped by a team of chemists, to create products made from natural ingredients that actually work.

Give your hair some TLC.

Your dry, damaged and chemically-treated hair is begging for a dose of this deep-conditioning mask. Shoppers swear by this blend of nutrients from B-vitamins, natural oils, algae and biotin to give their hair a healthy shine.

It's for all hair types, really. “Works just as well as some of the much more expensive stuff, and believe me, I've tried it all,” raves a five-star reviewer. “I have super fine, damaged hair and have to walk the fine line of dealing with my damage by conditioning, but not overdoing the moisture and getting limp/sad hair. This stuff worked well for my complicated problem, and also smells delightful.”

Black Card Revoked

You might not think much about the inclusivity of the games you play, but Cards for All People’s Latesha Williams addresses it by infusing humor and nostalgia with trivia. Games include Black Card Revoked, Girls Night Out, Gay Card Revoked and Lip Service with Angela Yee.

Black Card Revoked: Original Flavor Card Game

This fun card game was so adored, it was turned into a TV show. It now has some 4,600 five-star fans on Amazon! Best played with three people since majority rules.

One happy five-star reviewer explained: “This game isn't just for Blacks folks,” and describes it as being “centered around Black pop culture with questions like ‘how many fights did Will Smith get into before his mom got scared?’ If you don't know the theme song to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air then I just don't know what you've been doing with life. Hilariously, there are questions noted as majority rules which means you debate and argue about who the top three rappers of all times are until the majority of people agree. It's a nice mix of trivia style questions and a fun game to share with friends and family.”

Fenty Beauty

Rihanna is in the business of meeting consumer’s needs with products that truly accommodate every person’s unique style and skin tone. Her beauty brand reportedly racked up $100 million in sales in its first few weeks after launching, and we’re happy to support it.

Typically, when a beauty product is called "universal," it doesn’t quite make the cut for all skin tones. This gorgeous lip gloss is an exception to that rule. The 4.7 customer rating on Amazon is particularly impressive, considering how picky we can be about our lips.

One shopper who loved its "silky feel" was “amazed at the beautiful nude shade and how it made my lips feel. I use it over my lipstick or alone when I go with a natural look. I will be buying it again.”

It makes getting your grease so accessible, air tight lids can be a pain to lift off when you only have one hand available...I can pour my hot grease in there right away without fear the container will explode like glass can, and easy to wipe up from splatters."
