TOMS for Target

ONE FOR ONE, FOR ALL

We are days away from the release of the anticipated TOMS for Target Collection. How many of you have been counting down the days? This is a great collection just in time for holiday shopping. I would love to get any of these items as a gift. This is also a great collection because TOMS is a  "one for one" business. For every item that TOMS sells, they in return donate one item to help those in need. That's exactly what this Target + TOMS collaboration is about. For every item that this collection sells - shoes, blankets and meals will be given to the less fortunate. Talk about guilt free shopping. 

The collection consists of 50+ apparel, accessories and home items all under $50. TOMS for Target will be available in stores and online this Sunday, November 16th.

Shopping For A Cure

As a female, October is a very important month. Breast cancer is a chronic disease that can affect any one of us at any time. Maybe you already know someone affected by breast cancer. So standing by each other and supporting one another is crucial. One way of helping out is by donating. During the month of October many companies sell specific products and donate a portion of the profits. Through donations, preventative care and research for a cure is possible.

Below are a couple of the companies offering "pink" items and donating a portion of their profit towards the fight. If you would prefer to simply make a  monetary donation, you can check here for a list of charities.

Clinique will donate to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation from the sales

 of their Ribbon Limited Edition items.  

*The purchase of the Pink with a Purpose Cosmetic Bag & Lipstick will donate $3.

*The purchase of the Great Skin, Great Cause Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion will donate $10.

Pura Vida Bracelets

Has anyone checked out the Pura Vida Bracelets? I came across these bracelets about a month ago. They are fun, colorful, casual and summery. I can't get enough of them. 

"The phrase "Pura Vida" (pu-ra vi-da) means "pure life" in Spanish. Enjoying life slowly, celebrating good fortune and not taking anything for granted embodies the Pura Vida Lifestyle. It's about being free and living life to it's fullest with no regrets or taking anything for granted; it's an attitude." -www.puravidabracelets.com

I purchased the Turquoise Style Pack which included 6 bracelets. The bracelet pack included a combination of different style bracelets in turquoise, aqua and purple tones. 

(The turquoise style pack I purchased is no loner available)

Additionally, this company helps provide full-time jobs for artisans in Costa Rica as well as carry a whole Charity Collection line. Do you have a special cause close to your heart; environment, animals, education, cancer etc... With the purchase of that specific bracelet the company will donate $1 to the specific charity.
