Fight Bullying with Compassion Brands

Karen · 1 Comment

compassion brands

Every so often you come across a company that makes a product that you feel good about buying.  Instead of just something you need, or even a great product, the company stands for so much more than selling something.

Compassion Brands is one of those companies.

Compassion Brands was started as a way to make fashion mean more than just a trend. Fashion that makes a difference as a financial charitable donation and as a reminder to those you wear it, and those who see it, that you are not alone. Bullying is a cause that stood out to our company not only because of the large role it plays in our society today but because unlike other issues plaguing our world this cause has a solution; Be kind to yourself and the people around you!

Compassion Brands sent a couple of items from their anti bullying line. This lovely Love Necklace and a Love Your Selfie tank top.

Love Yourselfie Necklace

The necklace is 18K Gold Plated with Swarovski Crystals. It comes in your choice of red, black or clear crystals. It features a sturdy lobster claw closure and looks great dressed up or dressed down.

Love YourSelfie Tank Top

The Love Your Selfie tank is comfortable and so cute. In this day and age of selfies galore, it is a fun play on words. This tank has a deep scoop neck and racer back. It is silicon washed for a super soft feel. The tank is very comfortable and is great for layering in the cold weather.

You can shop Compassion Brands online and help support a great cause. 33% of royalties derived from licensed sales are donated to charity.

WHAT YOU WEAR, CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE…

I have always been a big fan of giving children books, whether they are old enough to read or not. It is never too early to encourage learning and the love of reading. Children who are read to and who love to read tend to do better in school and love to learn more than children who were not read to. My home was always filled with books for my children when they were growing up. There are several Julius Jr. books to pick from, too. Depending on what age your child may be, they can get creative with paints or crayons, or peek behind doors flaps to discover who may be hiding there.

Howdy Doodle-Doo

Priced at $4.99, this is a rythmic, rhyming book, that pairs text with picture clues to help children decode the story. For children who know the alphabet and are eager to begin reading.
