Love Reusable Bags: lovereusablebags.com:
Halfstack is featuring their latest givebacksack – designed by artist Chris Gwantley – for every stash it tote sold that features Chris’ design, 1 stash it tote is given to a student in need through the Kinde Project! It’s a great opportunity to do some good with your school shopping this year. As an educator and an avid advocate for education – this is a wonderful program that I truly support. Check it out here: http://lovereusablebags.com/in-the-news/give-back-sack.html - Kinde Project: The Fije Kinde Project sends teams of educators to develop early childhood education throughout the villages of the Fiji Islands. One by one, they have already established close to 70 kindes, impacted over 1500 children and trained over 200 teachers.
Bauli Croissants: This is a great on the go morning snack that goes perfect with tea! It was a bit different from your typical croissant as it had more of a bread consistency and wasn’t as flaky, but that keeps the mess at bay and went well with something warm to drink in the morning. It’s a very rich food, so I wouldn’t suggest eating them every day, but a good once a week snack!
Vitamin Bubbles: vitaminbubbles.com – These are the perfect vitamins for those of us who hate swallowing vitamins in pill form! Each vitamin batch goes rigorous testing, are made in the USA including right here in Chicago. They are an edible softgel shell that encases a liquid core of vitamins that are absorbed 88% more effectively than a traditional pill! The particular flavor showcased in the video is the acai-blueberry for hair/nails/skin.
Energems: energems.com - Tasty chocolate bites with a dose of caffeine and B12 vitamins! A waaaay better alternative to your typical Redbull and Monster drinks. You control how much you eat and it gives you a quick boost of energy!
The Better Chip: These are a great alternative to typical grocery store chip brands. They are NON-GMO, vegan friendly and made with simple ingredients and whole vegetables. These are super flavorful and hearty so they are great for dips and are filling for a snack. They are the perfect addition to a lunch on the go!
Adidas Body Spray:A A step up from your typical body sprays. This deodorizing body spray is a perfect addition to your gym bag. It is a bit strong, so a small amount goes a long way, but keeps you feeling fresh for up to 24 hours. You can pick it up at walmart: http://www.walmart.com/ip/adidas-for-Women-Pure-Lightness-Body-Spray-4-oz/23608252
