The stunning Rare Red Sea Glass Signature Necklace is a true standout, paired with sterling silver to highlight the glass’s smooth, translucent beauty.

Sue’s designs often incorporate freshwater pearls, sterling silver charms like anchors or sailboats, and occasionally matching earrings, though finding a matching pair is becoming a rare treasure in itself.

Whole leaf, all natural, compostable, plant based teabags with an extra long string are perfect for travel tumblers and today’s larger mugs.

Seaweed Tea, kicked up a notch

Bring your tea time to the next level. Get yourself a bottle of bourbon from Split Rock Distillery and add a splash to your Cup of Sea Maine Seaweed Tea. We like the Sea Smoke black tea for it’s smoky-sweet aroma and a rich, woodsy flavor – like camping by the ocean. Or if your bath is pre-bedtime and you’re wanting to avoid caffeine, try the Sailor’s Cure All for an aromatic blend of spicy ginger and earthy turmeric, plus soothing bladderwrack. 

Sea Smoke Seaweed Tea - Cup of Sea Tea

Cobb’s Hill Sugarhouse Cocktail

The Old Fashioned never seems to be a bad choicr and using Maine maple syrup brings it to the next level. Follow this easy recipe…

  • 1/2 ounce maple syrup
  • 2 ounces bourbon
  • 4 dashes Angostura bitters
  • orange peel for garnish

Add bitters, maple syrup and bourbon to a mixing glass. Stir to chill and dissolve the maple syrup. Add a large ice cube to a rocks glass and strain over.


Step Three : Run a Bath

Sprinkle some Sea Salts

The Lavender Sea Salt Bath Soak from Beedandy is the perfect balance of natural salts and pure essential oils to soothe your mind and nourish your skin. Carefully crafted with natural ingredients, this nourishing soak is exactly what you need for a calming, refreshing experience.

Fizz it up!

Nothing is more satisfying than watching a Miss Moonmaker Bath Fizzie explode when it hits the warm water in your bathtub. Okay, feeling the good stuff inside the fizzie on your skin as it travels through your tub may feel even more satisfying. Whether it’s to soothe, rejuvenate, revive, relax, soothe sore muscles or just give you an all over body-shimmer, there’s a bath fizzie for you.

Bath Fizzies by Miss Moonmaker
Awaken Cleansing Grains

10 Minute Maine Mask

Exfoliate with Awaken Cleansing Grains from Unfiltered Skincare.
