bUneke M A G A Z I N E .org 32 Crepini crepini.com/

Crepinis are a cross between a French crepe and a Ukrainian blini, without the carbs. They are dairyfree, kosher, Whole-30 compliant, keto, and paleo approved. Made with eggs, our vegan friends won’t be eating them. They are made with cauliflower, sweet potato, and gluten-free grains and seasoned with a proprietary blend of spices including turmeric for one and cinnamon for another. They arrived in a sustainable cardboard box, insulated with recycled denim to keep the box dry, yet cold from the two ice packs. This kind of shipping makes the Crepinis cost more than similar wraps. Each set of Crepinis is wrapped in plastic and you know how bUenek feels about that. The flavor is more bland than we expected, but that just lets out the flavor of our veggies. With the plastic wrap and no sign of philanthropy, we had to deduct two points. • 8,

Stardeck lisastardust.com/

What a great gift idea for the astrology/ zodiac lover! The 70-card deck arrived in a beautiful box that’s sure to become a keepsake, though the user will need to be careful handling it. We know people can use an online research tool to find much of the information in the Stardeck, but we like to hold the cards and feel them while we learn how stars and planets play into our lives. Two of us reviewed this deck and we found it very useful, as we’re not astrologers. It’s a great tool for when you want to get away from the blue light of your electronic devices and explore this craft the old fashioned way. We like the size and simplicity of the Stardeck because we can carry it with us to study during those times we’re stuck in line somewhere. The birthchart was particularly fascinating and fun to use. The link takes you to the author’s page on Amazon where we were amazed to see the price has been slashed on the Stardeck. It might be time to stock up for the holidays! We deducted a point because we couldn’t find any indication that she has a charitable outreach. • 9,

I am in love with Ice Cream Sunscreen and lip balm. My super-picky husband loves the sunscreen. It goes on cool (as it says) and isn’t greasy. It melts into your skin in seconds and you are ready to hit the beach or any outdoor activity! The original really doesn’t have a scent but the vanilla smells like, well you guessed it, vanilla ice cream! With an SPF of 30 I feel comfortable riding my bike and enjoying an afternoon in the sun. It is water-resistant, reeffriendly, cruelty free, sulfate and paraben free, made for all ages, and is light enough for the face, yet strong enough to protect the body. The lip balm is really nice as well with an SPF of 15. I wish it were in anything but plastic tubes so I have to bring down the score, unfortunately. Without a mention of a philanthropic outlook, we had to deduct another point • 8,

Fire Department Coffee FireDeptCoffee.com

I had the fortunate opportunity to try a couple of spirit-infused coffees from the Fire Department Coffee (FDC) company. FDC has done a great job of infusing a couple of my favorite coffee additives, Vanilla Bean Bourbon and Irish Whiskey, with their fine medium roast coffee. The two different coffee blends make for a wonderful treat in the mornings, evenings, and desert occasions. That pretty much covers all the times that I drink coffee! The labeling on the FDC packaging indicates that they use an infusion process, which seems to appropriately describe the rich, but not overpowering, taste that these two coffees present. It is a welcome change from most flavored coffees that have an overpowering taste of the added flavor. I checked out the FDC website to see what else I could order, and they had a large selection of various spirits, blends, and an assortment of standard coffees to choose from, definitely something to satisfy everyone’s tastes. They are a veteran-owned business giving back by helping injured fire fighters. They roast high-quality coffee beans from around the world. Before they begin the roasting process, all of their beans go through a strict testing and evaluation process. This includes making sure the farms are environmentally and socially responsible. • 10,
