12 Days of Giving- Day One

It's the holidays y'all and I have sort of started a tradition where I try to gather some like minded ladies to put some positive vibes out into the world via something that we're doing every day- kickin' it on our computers, phones, tablets etc. You may remember last year's giving back series here on the blog and we've decided to kick it up a notch for 2017 because in my humble opinion, we need a little more love and kindness this holiday season! Each day we are donating to a specific and worthwhile charity while also celebrating in high style with a brand that we love. It's really about bringing attention to great organizations while also having a little fun! So here's the deal, I've asked my ladies to give me three words that describe how they are blessed. It can be in all their years, just this year, the day they sent me my email. Three words. It's easier said than done when you're really trying to think about how you are fortunate. So before I get to today's ladies, charity and giveaway, I ask you to do the same exercise. What are three words that you would use to describe how you're blessed? 

We supported the Pajama Program last year and got the most wonderful thank you email from the program's founder that I wanted to include them in the series again this year. It's easy for some of us to take pajamas and children's books for granted when we have the stability and blessings of a secure home life. Some children are not so fortunate. The Pajama Program provides not just pajamas but literacy support for children across the country. I just love what they are doing and am so happy to have found them. Our donation has worked to provide pajamas and bedtime books for 10 kids this year. When you look at it that, even our small series here has helped a great organization help special kids have a better night!

I am so happy to have Cost Plus World Market starting this holiday celebration off right. I love shopping there. You've seen me working with them a lot and I think they are a great representation of a brand that values their partnerships, customers and also charitable foundations. I've worked with them to raise awareness and funds for Breast Cancer research this year and am stoked to have them offering up a $100 gift card to shop in store or online! Believe me when I say that you can get some pretty cool stuff for $100 at Cost Plus World Market, so be sure to enter in the rafflecopter below!
