One silver lining of our current quarantined lives is that many of us have been able to busy ourselves with planting gardens. As much as I love to grow indoor plants, I haven’t had the best of luck outdoors. But we’ve seen you out there using your outdoor spaces, growing your own food. We think you’re going to be just as obsessed as we are with our collection of gardening tools from our friends at Barebones Living (a certified B Corp). 

Well, hello there, unexpected hibernation! How’s everyone doing? As we’ve been abruptly thrust into a new way of doing life, many of us are feeling all kinds of crazy.  Whether you’re feeling sad, scared, confused, lonely, or just plain annoyed with the whole thing, all the feelings matter.  No matter how we spin it, this is a time of loss and stress for us all. We’re all learning a new normal, discovering ways to stay out of panic mode, and doing our very best to keep an even keel. 

Unshattered has put their entire non-profit on HOLD (shifting away from making beautiful bags) to start making masks for our medical professionals in need. That’s right, they’re suspending their only source of revenue that supports their non-profit mission to make masks. FOR FREE. 

As we all adapt to our mostly indoor, socially distanced lives (for the time being), I think we’re all taking a closer look at our homes and the GERMS that reside within in a whole new light. Suddenly our organic, eco-conscious selves are questioning our usual methods of cleaning our spaces. 

Are those natural products really going to keep us safe from the coronavirus and other potential superbugs? 

Like you, we have received many emails from the brands that we buy from that contain lots of very formal and kinda scary language abut COVID-19, The CDC, and The WHO (not the band). We’re going to skip that formal language and just be ourselves. Cool? Cool.
