The Experience, Alameda: Modern Mouse Holidays

The Experience:

Create Serenity for the Holidays

Time to take care of yourself before the onslaught of the holidays overwhelms you. Have yourself a little candle moment. Take some time to visit Modern Mouse gift shop in South Shore Center and take home some necessities to surround yourself with calm and beauty.

One of their featured Makers from Berkeley, Big Softie Studio, designs and crafts small batches of hand-poured prayer candles. One new candle in stock has notes of violet, jasmine and powder – reminding you of Cashmere Blankets. It doesn’t get any cozier than this! Perfect for fall and going into the cold, winter season.

Mediterranean Classics with a Twist

Look what’s on the menu: Pork Belly over Greek butter beans and sautéed spinach with a balsamic glaze (featured here). Fans say it’s yum!

Feel conflicted between seafood and pasta? Check out one of their classic menu items – Capellini Scampi – sautéed shrimp with a lemon-garlic white wine sauce. If you are craving  comfort food, try their Penne Pasta with a spicy tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella.

The Experience, Alameda: Malaya Botanicals @Alameda Point

The Experience:

Pain Away! The Magic of CBD!

Recovering from surgery is always a challenge, especially when your muscles are still sore. And we know physical therapy and lateral movements are needed to hasten healing. One of Malaya Botanicals’ clients, Joc, who goes to the gym, knows this struggle especially after a torn rotator cuff surgery. “We’re so glad to know that our premium CBD Muscle Pain Relief Cream is the game changer that Joc needed,” comments owner Pia Barton.​​ “Her Yelp review says it all! Not only is it effective in giving her instant relief that lasts for hours, it also has a mild scent that’s just perfect for our skin without that strong menthol scent like other pain creams out there.”

​​​​​So put on your workout shoes and get ready to say goodbye to muscle pain! Remember to consult with your physical therapist on what movement works best for healing after surgery. As for muscle soreness, they have some great products from which to choose and they also have a trial size of the CBD Muscle Pain Relief Cream if you want to check it out.

Please note Malaya Botanicals have relocated form Webster St to Alameda Point. And during current construction, you can find the entrance to their parking lot on West Ranger St. You can also order online and and can have free delivery if you live in Alameda! Enjoy.

Hours: Mon – Fri 11am-7pm. (They look forward to  opening up on weekends soon.)

Malaya Botanicals Premium CBD Products are created to support your Healing & Malaya (Freedom). Clean and effective wellness products formulated with the knowledge and mindfulness of experienced professionals.Malaya Botanicals is a woman owned and family operated CBD Wellness and Beauty Company on a mission to de-stigmatize cannabis and empower women of color to take charge of their health and healing.
