One of the things I love most about the Bay Area is the abundance of farmers markets.

And the Sunday farmers market at Jack London Square in Oakland, California is my favorite of them all. Not only is this waterfront gem a mere 8-minute drive from my apartment, it also has lots of free parking and an amazing array of fresh produce and prepared foods.

This past Sunday, after strolling past a table of homemade pastas, Sukhi’s scrumptious samosas, and an almond man giving away samples of wasabi-flavored nuts, I chanced upon the By Nieves stall of natural handmade body care products. Available at spas, independent boutiques, and online, this Bay Area-based beauty brand is a must for anyone into small-batch goods.

I smelled and sampled the balms, lotions, bath salts, and soaps, then walked away with what I thought was the most useful product: a 1-ounce bottle of Cloud of Protection—a mix of essential oils that promises to fight off airborne bacteria and bad vibes. Defense against negativity for $8? It’s a bargain!

Thanks for the post.I discovered By Nieves a few years back and I am hooked!  "C" Perfect Skin is the best product I've found for my sensitive skin and I've looked long and hard. It does wonders on sun damage.You are right about Cloud of Protection being a steal, I carry a travel size spritzer in my purse everywhere I go. It has saved my uncountable times.What a find.Best,K
