Nacho Bizness is now carrying Find Your CENTR CBD Beverage. A refreshing, lightly carbonated drink with notes of citrus, it's available in cans with 15mg or 30mg of CBD. Made simply with carbonated water, cane sugar, natural citrus flavor, lemon juice, and CBD, it only contains 40 calories per can (so you can eat more nachos). We're located at 615 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.

Lilify now has a lovely collection of locally hand sewn aprons in stock at their shop at 281 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.

The Etta crossover, open size, linen apron is created using a universally beloved pattern. Apron addicts love this piece, as it has no ties or buttons and big pockets.

Etta lovers in the shop continually requested a version that could also suit a man. So they extended the straps, lowered the pockets, made the garment longer, and added a waist tie. The Elliott is a unisex, utilitarian apron perfect for those desiring more coverage.

They also received many inquiries about whether their apron was suitable to wear out. Hence, they created a duster version with all the most beloved bits! The Willa features large pockets and similar symmetry to the Etta. It is a stunning layering piece, and they've found it's favored by teachers and makers.

We hope you get the opportunity to add one of these practical yet very pretty pieces to your personal closet.

Prime Fitness and Personal Training presents a class entitled Power & Posture every Wednesday at 8:30am taught by Mia Hurst. Everyone is welcome, from those with mild, chronic pain, to those in high performance.

Power & Posture is a bodyweight program that trains the posterior chain muscles for maximum mechanical advantage, peak strength, and structural integrity and flexibility. It helps restructure movement patterns, heal injuries, improve game, and increase injury resistance. The results are a bodily structure designed for efficient and effective movement, at all times ready and equipped to respond with maximum results for a relatively minimal expenditure of energy.

Mia Hurst is a Master Instructor for Foundation Training. She strongly believes in the transformative power of physical and mental autonomy and sustainability.

When Lilify creates our signature line of linen wear, we incorporate our belief in ethical best practices, our respect for fine fiber, and our love of silhouettes that are simultaneously relevant and timeless.

Our pieces are made out of 100% fine European sourced linen. Linen is a textile made from the fibers of flax. It is beloved for being a strong, absorbent and exquisite natural fabric. The quality and weight of the textile allows for garments that offer both a flattering drape and a lithe movement.

Our pieces are hand sewn locally by a team of three talented, dedicated garment makers. Colleen, Sarah, and Erin have been sewing their entire lives and approach their skill with passion and an artful care. We have an abundant stock of our styles, in many shades, available in the shop, located at 281 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey. In addition, we are able to have any piece, in any available color, constructed with a 2-3 week lead time. (We offer free shipping.)

Lilify designs our pieces to be classically elegant and informed by modern lines - refined and easy to wear. Our pieces are designed to make you feel the most "you" in all your endeavors – chic, straightforward, sophisticated, yet understated. We invite you to explore our collection on our website.

Carpets and Floors, Inc., a locally owned business, invites you to stop by and check out Louis A. Dabbieri's Connor carpet as an area rug! The beautiful, arabesque pattern pictured is sure to mesmerize your dinner guests. We're located at 471 Lighthouse Avenue in New Monterey.
