Back-to-School Guide, OC Edition
With every summer seeming to go by faster than the one before, it means that back to school is right around the corner, and with it, our Back to School Gift Guide! We’ve gathered some of our favorite local businesses to help you stay on top of everything this time of year throws at you!
Z.E.N. Foods
Between getting new school clothes, organizing school drop-offs and pick-ups, and adjusting to getting sleepy-headed children out the door on time (or close enough to on time!), there is barely any time left in the day! Let Z.E.N. Foods worry about mealtime. With nutrient-dense delicious meals available for the whole family, they’ll take one thing off your very busy to-do list. Get personalized, ready-to-heat meals directly to your door within three days of ordering. P.S. If you need an end-of-summer detox, you’ll love their juice cleanse!

Stoney Clover Lane
Customizable accessories have never looked so good.

There’s nothing like sending off a loved one to college with a customizable bag… hint hint, moms!
Jedidiah Coffee
Before school practices. The 7:30 school bus. Waking up your teenager. You’ll need all the help you can get in the morning, and Laguna’s very own coffee roaster Jedidiah Coffee will help those early alarms not hurt quite so bad. With a blend literally named “Back to School,” you know these guys know what’s up. Brew a dark cup of the Guatemalan and Ethiopian blend, or a single-serve coffee steep bag of their popular Crescent Blend.
NOSH Wellness Center
After a busy summer, take time to enjoy the quiet, and savor some me-time at NOSH Body’s Wellness Center. Designed as a place to relax and get your body and mind in balance, NOSH Wellness Center offers a hydro-massage bed, Himalayan Sea Salt Cave, and Taj Mat Therapy. With a focus on holistic, natural wellness, NOSH will help you leave refreshed, relaxed, and re-centered.

Forget about running all over town to get back-to-school wardrobes ready; Mimi & Rae is located off South Coast Hwy and has everything your teen (and you!) needs. Run by a local mother-daughter team, their style is a mix of trendy and beachy, with a focus on women-owned brands. From embroidered floral denim jumpsuits to casually chic designers like NLT, you’ll be happy you popped in. P.S. They’re having a 50% off sale right now!
bur bur
“Frizz? Don’t know her.” You’ll be saying that soon enough after adding Bur Bur’s Growing Season hair treatment to your weekly self-care routine. Keep the effects of stress at bay with this powerhouse that strengthens hairs, all while adding shine and softness. Add their hand-made scalp Gua Sha to your order to help with product absorption, stress release and activating blood circulation, which can help reduce hair loss.
