Pure + Kiwi: Calm-first skincare for sensitive skin

Pure + Kiwi Skincare

Pure + Kiwi is small-batch skincare made for sensitive, reactive, and hormonally stressed skin - the kind that can’t handle harsh scrubs, strong fragrance, or “sting to prove it works.” I’m Sonali, founder of Pure + Kiwi. I grew up in New Zealand, surrounded by nature-led rituals and the botanicals I still draw inspiration from today. I started making skincare at home after my daughter developed eczema and I struggled to find products that felt both gentle and truly effective. What began as a personal solution became a mission: create calm-first formulas that support the skin barrier and help reduce flare risk - without sacrificing results. What we offer:  • Barrier-friendly moisturizers, comfort treatments, and everyday essentials  • Discovery Kits designed to help you try products safely before committing  • A quick skincare quiz and simple routines so you know exactly what to use (and when) What makes us unique:  • Calm-First Method: cleanse, calm, and seal - routines that feel safe and easy to stick with  • New Zealand-inspired botanicals + modern skin science, chosen for comfort and performance • Founder-led guidance: you’re not left alone after checkout - we help you build a routine that works for your skin  • Small-batch, thoughtfully made with a focus on sensitive-skin needs If your skin is prone to redness, dryness, itchiness, or sudden reactivity, Pure + Kiwi is here to help you get back to comfortable skin - with products that feel good the first time you use them. Local + Online: Find us Sundays 9–1 at the Huntington Winter Market — and we ship too. Website: purekiwigoods.com | Instagram: @purekiwigoods

Protecting Long Island Yards From Mosquitoes & Ticks 

Mosquito Brothers

On Long Island, enjoying your backyard is not always as simple as it should be. With increasing mosquito activity, growing tick concerns, and more awareness surrounding illnesses like Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, homeowners in Nassau County and Suffolk County are paying closer attention to what may be hiding in their grass, shrubs, and yard edges. That is where Mosquito Brothers comes in. Mosquito Brothers is a veteran-owned Long Island company specializing in professional mosquito and tick control. Our mission is to help families reclaim their outdoor spaces through dependable service, strong communication, and a higher level of care. Unlike large franchise operations, we take a more personal approach, understanding that every Long Island property has its own challenges, from leaf litter and shaded fence lines to dense shrubs, wooded borders, and other hard-to-reach areas where mosquitoes and ticks frequent most. What helps set Mosquito Brothers apart is our commitment to an Integrated Pest Management approach. Rather than relying on a single method, we use a thoughtful, multi-step approach because one treatment style alone can often fall short on Long Island. As one of the few companies in the region offering more extensive tick control methods, we focus not just on treating a property, but on addressing the conditions that allow these pests to thrive. Using professional-grade products and high-powered equipment, we are able to penetrate the protected areas where mosquitoes and ticks commonly rest and hide. At the center of it all is our Care Factor Promise — a commitment to helping protect the people and four-legged loved ones who matter most through a hassle-free, organized, and reliable experience
