Follow Friday - Rainbow Pack

 {Find Rainbow Pack on FACEBOOK and TWITTER}

This Friday we are excited to highlight one of our Giving Crew partners - Rainbow Pack - an amazing non-profit organization dedicated to providing elementary school students with the homework supplies they need to be successful learners regardless of their economic circumstance. Why "homework" supplies rather than school supplies? Because even the schools in the less privileged areas often manage to have supplies in the classroom for the students to do their work. It's when they get home that the kids really struggle. Rainbow Pack is dedicated to changing this and that is what we at SydneyPaige LOVE best about them! 

Rainbow Pack is currently in the running to win $10K to support their efforts from KIND Snacks. Rainbow Pack plans to use ALL of the money to buy backpacks and homework supplies to hand out at their 2014 Back To School Event in Pacoima, CA. The goal this year is to help 4,000 elementary school kids from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th grade start out the year ready and excited to learn. This money would buy more than 1000 of the Rainbow Packs that they need for the event! With that kind of support we know that they could raise the rest of the money to meet their goal. Let's all help them achieve this amazing goal, by VOTING HERE!!

Follow Friday - Miscoots

I am LOVING this company that I just discovered!!  Based out of Austin, TX, Mitscoots sells “Socks With A Mission”.  Like SYDNEY PAIGE, for every product sold, they donate a matching product to a person in need in the United States.  With Mitscoots, it’s socks!  They also go a step further in employing those in need to help package their socks, paying them well above minimum wage.  I just LOVE THIS!!  They are not only giving homeless and needy men, women & children a pair of much needed clean socks, but also employment opportunity to get off the streets and into their own homes.  See their website (http://www.mitscoots.com) for more details and testimonies . . . and buy your socks today (hint, if you sign up for their newsletter, you get 20% off your first purchase + free shipping)!!  From argyle to casual to running, biking or skateboarding, they have the quality socks you need!  Who knew your little sock purchase could do such GREAT THINGS!?!? -Courtney

Think About It Thursday - Gifts for Mom

Have you thought about making your gift for Mom give TWICE? Show her she can be proud she raised a forward thinking, socially conscious, and caring consumer! We've got some great ideas for gifts that give back - our favorite kind.
(We promise she'll like them! We're Moms. We know this stuff.)

1// VIVA GLAM lipstick and lipglass by MAC

Help Mom perfect her purposeful purchasing pout with these bright and bold lip colors!

Nordstrom Cares donates every cent of the selling price of these lipsticks towards helping men, women and children living with or affected by HIV/AIDS through MAC Aids Fund. 

2// Twice as Grape scarf by Twice As Warm

When you needed a good snuggle as a kid, who did you run to? MOM! Return the favor with this warm and comforting scarf. Twice As Warm matches each purchase with a donation of a new clothing item to persons in need.

3// iPad sleeve by Sydney Paige

Keep mom's favorite tech device safe, clean, fashionable and socially conscious all in one! For every Sydney Paige item bought, we donate the same item to a student in need, giving them the tools and confidence they need to stay in school and graduate.

4// Black Bar Soap by Soapbox Soaps

Made from activated charcoal and a blend of essential oils, sea salt and shea butter this bar soap will pamper mom while giving back! For every bar purchased, Soapbox Soaps donates one bar of soap, fresh water, or vitamin supplements to children in need all over the globe. 

5// Daphne bracelets or the Gardenia bag from 31 Bits

Every Mom loves jewelry or a beautiful clutch! When you purchase from 31 Bits you are creating change, giving hope and helping to empower Ugandan women to rise above poverty.

6// One Hope 2011 Napa Valley Reserve Pinot Noir

Toast to mom and all she has helped you achieve with a glass of wine that gives back! One Hope Wine donates half their profits to charities around the world. The Pinot Noir supports Charity Water - a company that works to provide safe drinking waster to developing countries. Other varietals support Autism, Breast Cancer Research, Veterans, Childhood Hunger, Alzheimer's Cure, AIDS and more. There is sure to be a cause your Mom will love!

7// TOMS Wedges

Put a bright spring in Mom's step with these wedges. A kid in need receives a pair of shoes for every pair that you purchase. One for One - just like Sydney Paige! TOMS also sells coffee and sunglasses that help give people clean water and the gift of sight. New shoes, hot coffee, cute sunglasses? It's like TOMS knows your Mom.

8// UP24 band by Jawbone

Help Mom be the healthiest she can be! The UP system tracks how you eat, move and sleep in order to deliver insights, celebrate milestones, and challenge you to make smarter choices each day. In the month of May, Jawbone is on a mission to help make pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother across the world. Jawbone will donate $15 from your UP24 band purchase to Every Mother Counts when you use coupon code: EMC15 on their website through May 31st.

9// FEED 10 t-shirt by FEED Projects

Mom taught you how to count, right? And to stay in school? And she probably packed her fair share of school lunches! With the purchase of this t-shirt, you will not only be thanking her for all those things - you will also be funding 10 school meals for children in impoverished areas like Rwanda, Kenya and Haiti.

Whatever you gift your Mom this Sunday - be sure and include a HUG and a Thank You!

Follow Friday - Better With Books

For today's Follow Friday post we are honored to highlight Better With Books - a non-profit organization focusing on the importance of literacy for under-served children. 

They accomplish this by donating new books to children, families, and organizations in need.  The goal is to share the joy of reading, the power of literacy, and to ultimately encourage all to embrace the long-lasting and immense impact, of putting books in the hands of children in need. I love to read and nothing makes me happier than seeing my children ejoying a good book - whether it is being read to them, or they are reading one themselves! Literacy for every child begins with getting books into every child's hands. We love and support how Better With Books is working to make that happen. Check them out today! www.betterwithbooks.org
