Wear Your Heart on Your Chest
I heart t-shirts. If you saw my WAY overcrowded closet you'd definitely get a loud and clear t-shirt vibe...most with snarky little phrases, vintage rock bands or ironic irony which is funny only to me and mine. But I'm making room for a collection of eco-friendly, organic cotton t-shirts from Small Hands that feature positive, uplifting, warm & fuzzy messages.
The idea is that the sentiment emblazoned on your shirt, is echoed in your heart and in those around you. Simple, but powerful. And the t-shirts are ridiculously cute (or for you boys, ruggedly handsome).
This summer they have unveiled three brand new designs made up of "Vote with Your Heart," "Practice Compassion," and "See Only Love," which join these guys already available: "Manifest Peace," "Love Your Earth," "Awaken to Joy," "Everyone's Connected," "Peace and Love Forever," "Send Love," "Inspire Action," "We are All Extraordinary" and "I am Loved."
"I know that when I put on my 'We are all Extraordinary' tee people respond in a great way," says Small Hands, Inc. owner and designer Dara Cuoco. "People are always wonderful but a positive message will just bring that to the surface sometimes. This, of course, is the entire theory behind our line."
And if that's not enough to get you donning the Small Hands, get this...Small Hands donates a portion of the proceeds from every purchase from its web-store to The Miracle Project and Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center (SARRC).
The designs sell out fast, so be sure to get one for you, your kids, your friends, neighbors and heck, get one for that irritating person one cubicle over...maybe they just need a little love.
About this blog
Roxanne Kotzman is a Daily News Photo Department veteran of nine years. When she and longtime friend Stacy Long
discovered their love all of all things environmentally responsible, they launched Happy Monkey Planet and jumped head-first into the vibrant eco-community.
Wow, so much to learn! But initially the idea is a pretty simple one: Let's change the world through information, education and action.
Rox & Stacy are a lot like you: ecologically minded but sometimes just plain overwhelmed when charged with the task of making a far-reaching difference in the environment. They have jobs, families, homes, lives and pets.
But what if doing better was a simple as a light-bulb change, a reusable canvas grocery bag, recycling that soda can or a cold-water wash?
These eco-chicks just hope to have a little fun, learn a little more, share a lot of information and maybe make the planet a happier, greener, cleaner place.
