Lemon Tee

Most of my designs start with inspiration from color combinations that I’ve seen in nature or throughout my colorful city of New Orleans. I loved these colors together and started to brainstorm different designs, ending up with these lemons! The shirt itself is a 100% cotton, unisex tee that is extremely soft and lightweight. It looks great styled with some high waisted jeans or shorts. All Yat Cat shirts are hand-printed in an environmentally friendly studio using waterbased inks.

Beauty and Skin Care

For the Biome

“Maskne” (acne from mask friction) is a real thing, and it’s here to stay until we find a cure for COVID-19. But for now, we need ways to refresh sensitive facial skin that’s subjected to hours of daily irritating mask-wearing.  

One simple aid is Restore Essence Spray from For The Biome—a delightful mattifying mist that combines two of the most potent honeys found in nature—Manuka honey and Swiss black bee honey (both fermented) along with the microbiome-supporting Probiotic 6-Plex. This amazing formula nourishes the skin and its microbiome for a smoother, more even-toned complexion; and creates an ideal balance for healthy microbial growth that reduces sebum production for matte, hydrated skin that feels fortified and resilient. 

Restore is the ultimate restorative spritz for mattified complexion and pollution protection! Check out our entire clean ingredient glossary at For The Biome. 3% of every purchase supports food + shelter for populations hardest hit by COVID-19.

Bug Bite Thing

Bug Bite Thing is a must-have for anyone who is a “mosquito magnet.” Bug Bite Thing is chemical-free, reusable, and safe to use on all ages. When Kelley’s daughter was only six months old and constantly suffering from mosquito bites and she discovered the solution, Bug Bite Thing. Since she has been a “mom on a mission” to offer other families the same relief the product has brought to her daughter.  

Bug Bite Thing is run by mompreneurs, mother/daughter team Ellen McAlister and Kelley Higney of South Florida. Last year they went on Shark Tank and pitched Bug Bite Thing to the Sharks and accepted an offer from Lori Greiner.

How it works: the easy-to-use suction tool painlessly and effectively extracts insect saliva/venom from under the skin to eliminate itching, stinging and swelling by removing the irritant – totally unlike topical creams and ointments which only mask it.
