6 Feel Good Companies
Nordstrom

If you’re like me, you love to shop. Clothes, jewelry, home décor, anything, really. And if you’re really like me, you like to know that your money is going to more than just some chain store that will inevitably use your money to make more chain stores. The following companies are organizations that you can spend your money at, get amazing products and still end up donating to worthwhile causes.

1. Pura Vida Bracelet Company

I am a representative for this company (I just love it so much) so if you use the code MARISSAUMBLE20, you’ll get 20% off your order!

Don’t let the name fool you- it is way more than just a bracelet company. While it started out selling bracelets that were handmade by artisans in Costa Rica, this company now sells swimsuits, beach towels, accessories and clothing too! Every bracelet that you buy turns a profit for not just the company, but also the artisan in Costa Rica that made it. They also have a charity tab on their website so that you can see just bracelets that donate to charities. Most are unisex- men can wear them too. The bracelets are also super cheap! Check it out here!

2. Toms Shoes

Most people know this company as the company that donates a pair of shoes to a child in need with every purchase of a pair. However, Toms has also partnered with Oceana to donate to save Sea Turtles as well! Check it out here!

3. Ivory Ella

Ivory Ella makes T-Shirts, other clothes and jewelry all printed with an elephant design. 10% of all profits go to Save the Elephants, which is a non-profit organization that does exactly what it says it does- works to save the elephants. Check it out here!

4. The Polar Preserve

The Polar Preserve is much like Ivory Ella. Their products come in fun colors and are printed with Polar Bears on them! A portion of the sale from every t-shirt goes directly to polar bear conservation efforts. It not only preserves the polar bears, but also the climate in which they live. Check it out here!

5. Better World Books

Every time someone purchases a book form Better World Books, a book is donated to someone in need. They even sell textbooks! They are partners with many non-profit organizations, including Books for Africa, National Center for Families Learning, Feed the Children and Room to Read. Check it out here!

6. Project 7

This is a specialty gum and mint company that gives back to the seven areas of need (hence the name Project 7). This company donates to feed the hungry, quench the thirsty, heal the sick, house the homeless, save the earth, teach them well and hope for peace. Products are available through Amazon and Amazon Prime. Check it out here!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
