VOL. 44  /  SPARKS

Thanks to all who came out to Boho last Thursday! We had a blast.

That Richmond humidity that we're oh-so fond of is slowly making its comeback, so this week, we're sparking your interest in three things that will both keep you cool AND make you feel cool!

Read on...

North End

Juice Co.


Remix your summertime salad routine with a trip to this sidewalk juice bar for a poké bowl. That’s right; North End Juice Co. serves not only refreshing smoothies and açai bowls, but also yellowfin tuna and vegan poké bowls.

Why we’re obsessed: they’re delicious AND reasonably priced. Seriously, the entire bowl is the price of one special sushi roll at a restaurant.

Important distinction: North End Juice Co. closes at 4:30pm, but North End Market, immediately next door, is open 4-10pm, serving those precious poké bowls (and ice cream). Midlo friends: there’s a location near you, too!

Kamili


To shop Kamili is to shop with a purpose.

This new local jewelry company collaborates with refugees settled in Richmond, providing them with work and contributing to their sense of belonging.

Kamili’s vibrant, colorful (and gorgeous!) bracelets are crafted by refugees from the comfort of their own homes, giving them an opportunity to contribute financially to their families, while taking care of their children.

The bracelets themselves are made from African heishi beads and are finished with 24-karat-gold-dipped discs. Try stacking them for an easy fashion statement - or surprise a friend with a fun summer gift.

Brain Freeze


We're ice cream fanatics, so this event sounds extra-amazing. Mark your calendars now! Blue Bee Cider is hosting an ice cream festival, conveniently when the heat and humidity start taking a toll.

Gelati Celesti, King of Pops and Scoop RVA will all be there, and Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches is crafting a specialty sandwich with Blue Bee cider!

There’s definitely a “cool” theme, as there will be plenty of shade on their patio, plus cyrofacials (cold therapy that reduces aches & pains). Sounds heavenly, if you ask us.
