All I Want For Christmas
Tonight I have been sentimental and reflective. Thinking about the chapters of life I have wonderfully lived and gaining new perspective on what is taking place now and the change I have seen in so many aspects of my life.
Minimalism has done wonders for me. This past year I have done some things I never thought were really possible. This year I have done some big things. I have also decided to think big things with the little things I do. I have been so intentional. With the holidays approaching, I want to be even more intentional with my spending and giving. I have already started being more aware of where the money I spend is going. What it is supporting and who it is helping, if anyone. As I think and research more about it spending less has become easier. I don’t want to support companies who treat people poorly just because their products are easy to obtain or convenient. I don’t want to support companies that are wasteful and don’t do things I agree with.
We spend so much money and never think of who it supports or if anything good is done with it. There are so many amazing companies that give back or do something with your hard earned cash. As a creative who knows what it is like trying to support yourself, I find shopping small business, start-ups, or local is so amazing and important. You are supporting families, communities, and peoples dreams. You create joy because people are able to do things they are passionate about. You create life.
All I want this Christmas is to support companies that support others. Who give back. Companies with products created out of passion and discontent for a situation they know they can help aid.
HERE IS A LIST OF SOME!
These are some companies that I own products from or know others who do. Companies that give back and were created for some pretty awesome reasons.

Where you spend your money matters. These are just a few of the many companies who believe this statement. I would challenge everyone this holiday season to shop and support one of these links above. I would love to know what you choose!
