Smiles Squared

What if you didn’t even have a toothbrush! There are a bunch of kids and adults that just don’t have access to these simple hygiene items. When these preventable dental problems go untreated not only to they pose health concerns but kids who are ashamed of their teeth won’ smile. Smiles Squared developed a One 4 One giving program for toothbrushes. Their goal is to have every child smiling Ohhhh so fresh, and so clean…… I thought it was a good idea that if you don’t want to receive a toothbrush you could just donate your’s as well and they will give away two toothbrushes away instead of one. The toothbrushes come in child and…

The Good Flock – iWooly

There’s something honestly refreshing about a company that just knows how to create inviting warmth in their product. Delivering the type of accessories that create a unique touch of quality craftsmanship and a familiar natural presence that feels organic, but not in the cargo shorts and Teva sandals kinda way, or the strictly vegan 100% organics at all costs way either. No, The Good Flock would rather give you the nitty – gritty dialed down into a approach that lets the product and the process speak for itself. Its good, its made consciously, its made with a personal touch (literally by hand), and its made from a company that has shining personality. My first introduction…

Buy A Watch, Plant A Tree

In just two years WeWOOD has come a long way. The first piece was born in Italy but this LA based company crafts eco-friendly and nostalgic time pieces mostly from found wood. The inner workings are Miyota movements. The bands are adjustable by adding and removing links just like traditional metal pieces. The group at WeWOOD has also partnered with American Forests to promise that a tree will be planted for each piece sold.

JAWBONE x Charity: Water

Jawbone has teamed up with Charity: Water to create a special edition JAMBOX. This is a powerful little speaker that can connect to a mobile device through bluetooth. The sound is pretty amazing considering the size. It’s small enough to fit in a backpack or purse and rugged enough that you’re not worried about it at the beach or park. $50 of each sale will go to Charity: Water. Keep in mind that $20 can give a person clean drinking water and 100% of donations go straight to projects. Charity: Water has been a leader in using clean design and creative partnerships to gain new advocates and give clean water to millions. I love watching the…
