Summer is by far my favorite season of the year. I spend too many hours in the water to count – in boats, cold springs, and lots of outdoor pools. I spend a fortune on sunscreen. And I also spend lots of quality time with my kiddos. But, like many people I know, specifically parents of elementary and middle-school aged kids, I find myself ready to go back to my “real life” of early morning runs, a consistent work schedule, and my other daily routines, when the kids’ school year resumes.
If you’re like me and ready to get back in the groove of “real life,” here are a few products I find particularly helpful.
1. Divine Dreams Essential Oil Roller
For me, my morning routines start with a good night’s sleep, and in the summertime, I usually stay up far too late. Our Divine Dreams Roll-On features organic lavandin and clary sage that will help you get your sleep schedule back on track.
Plus, you can sleep well knowing the purchase of this roller provides employment to sex trafficking survivors in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
2. Hardback Journal & Handcrafted Pen
A new journal provides a literal clean slate for the new school year. Whether you’re doing a spiritual quiet time, gratitude journal, or other reflection, these few minutes at the start of your day can make a huge difference!
This time not only provides a light spot in your day, but literal lights to families without access to a reliable electricity grid. For every two journals sold, a solar light is given to a family without light in a developing country. And the pens provide employment for men in Africa who have aged out of foster care and are looking for a place to begin their lives of independence.
Part of my fall reset includes getting back into a regular exercise routine, and those first few weeks can be brutal. The Epsom salt, lavender essential oil, and eucalyptus oil in these bath salts can help sooth your muscles after you pick up the mileage or weights!
Plus, you’ll feel great inside too! The purchase of these muscle relief bath salts provides funds for schools in developing countries and supports programs for veterans overcoming PTSD.
4. An artisan mug and coffee or tea
Now that the kids are in school, we wish all the parents out there the gift of finishing a cup of coffee or tea before it gets cold. It’s the small things in life, right? And when the beauty and flavor of your favorite morning beverage are on point, there’s really no better way to start your day.
The warmth of your coffee will match the warmth in your heart as you help prevent orphanhood, provide clean water in developing countries, and rebuild an ecosystem in Bangladesh with this purchase.
These products make great gifts on their own or combined in a gift box. Better yet, our customers seeking branded business gifts can customize these gifts by branding the keepsake wooden box. We love this creative way of kickstarting a productive fall season.
We’d love to hear from you! What products help you get back in the swing of things?
