THE LIGHT BLONDE

Eight friends joined together and created this brand with a simple mission: exceptional wine that also does good.

To date, One Hope has given away over $3 Million in donations to specific causes.

You can even choose your cause too! When you purchase bottles online, you know what charity you'll be donating to.

And did I mention that the bottles make them almost too pretty to drink??

I said ALMOST....

ONE HOPE WINE

For each bag purchase, 50% of sales will be donated to Kind Campaign, a nonprofit that brings awareness to girl-against-girl bullying and works to prevent this through education and initiatives.

This environmentally conscious burlap is water-resistant, durable, and reusable. Each bag is handmade by female artisans in Bangladesh. With every purchase you make at The Little Market you are supporting dignified jobs for marginalized communities all over the world.

THE LITTLE MARKET + THE KIND CAMPAIGN

Cotton On retailer caught my attention with how they give back in all of their stores: Cotton On, Cotton On Kids, and Typo.

They sell a multitude of small products, and totes that benefit their Cotton On Foundation. 100% of the proceeds go towards empowering youth through quality education. Their overall mission is to develop 20,000 educational places by the year 2020.

The company has continued to live out their co-founders aspiration of “ Let's do more than just sell clothes.”

For over 15 years, Old Navy has partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs to help turn learners into leaders and provide first job training through the This Way Ahead internship program. Old Navy donated over $2 million to Boys & Girls Clubs in 2018 and is on track to match its fundraising in 2019.

From their site (because they say it better than I ever could):

"Since day one, over five million pairs of glasses have been distributed through our Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program. Alleviating the problem of impaired vision is at the heart of what we do, and with your help, our impact continues to expand."

​

I wear Warby Parker myself (both glasses below are mine), and I LOVE how kind their staff is, how simple it is, and how straightforward it is!

Growing up in California (and two older brothers!), I LOVE the great outdoors & we are spoiled with access to such stunning National Parks. These parks provided so many incredible memories for my family, so it's woven into my core to be drawn to a cause like this.

(Taken directly from their site) "Each product purchased contributes directly to one of over 30 different conservancies across the USA, providing vital funding for the ongoing care of National Parks."

Working in the fashion industry, I was sincerely impressed by the styles, quality, pricing and options offered.

Check them out for yourselves, and seek selflessness in the great outdoors!

There is nothing more that I love than fabulous jewelry, except, fabulous jewelry that GIVES BACK. Starfish Project is on a mission to help exploited and trafficked women experience freedom, establish independence and develop careers.

This website has now been saved on my phone, and all my family and friends will forever be receiving this jewelry.

I could write another book on how incredible & selfless Jackie is (the woman behind BxC), and all the effort, soul, and heart she puts into each order (which is sadly rare in business these days!)

But now, it's not just Jackie behind the brush, but her husband, Mike, has officially stepped in to handle logistics and basically all the things. This ninja-duo team have now expanded beyond these hand-painted beautiful Bibles, and offer a vast array of stationary, baseball caps, and their selection only continues to expand!

You will not be disappointed with your order! 

BIBLES & COFFEE

Working in the fashion industry, it's rare that I see jewelry that actually LOOKS GOOD AND DOES GOOD. I usually find myself having to choose one or the other. But with Akola jewelry, you get both.

A bit from their website:

Akola means “she works” in a local Ugandan dialect. 
We have dedicated our journey to creating and providing jobs for 
women who are caring for an average of 10 dependents.

I had the privilege of walking through The Giving Keys headquarters in Downtown Los Angeles, with the owner herself (Caitlyn Crosby), and I can assure you, this company "walks the walk". If you're going to find a gift for someone, I urge you to shop here.

Below is a snippet from their website, because they explain it better than I ever could:

"At The Giving Keys, we want to inspire the world to pay it forward, so 
we’ve built it into how we do business. Through our social impact 
employment model, every product you purchase supports job 
creation for people transitioning out of homelessness"

THE GIVING KEYS

I was thrilled to come across this dainty, fashionable (and gold! I love wearing gold) bracelets at The Little Market. It's made by Penh Lenh, a company that thrives on empowering women in Cambodia. Here's a bit from their website: "100% of our net sales are reinvested in the social mission of Penh Lenh, to provide education, vocational training, and advanced career opportunities for our artisans."
