The change in seasons is a time of transition, growth and new beginnings. For those of us moving into autumn, it presents itself as a good opportunity to slow down, reflect and rest after a busy summer. Here are five picks from AMAKA’s Marketplace to prepare you for this year’s cozy period.

1. Foodspring Daily Vitamins

Nutrition brand Foodspring’s supply of Daily Vitamins comes with 100 vegan capsules made from plant-based cellulose fibres and freshly harvested fruit and vegetables. This produce comes from community farms which are gently processed to preserve vitamins for important bodily functions. Not only do they cover 100% of your essential vitamins but they also support athletic performance. According to Foodspring, most vitamin supplements contain only synthetically-produced vitamins grown in a lab to imitate their natural counterparts whereas these daily vitamins use nutrient extracts from raw ingredients.

Affirmation Culture’s Morning Gratitude Candle is vegan, hand-made with love, and comes with positive affirmation cards. With a burn time of up to 40 hours, it's made from a natural coconut wax, sage, and an organic essential oil blend of lemongrass, verbena, rosemary, cedar wood, and sweet musk.
