6 Reasons Why You Should Support Love Your Melon

Jennifer Friese Photography

Being an ambassador for Love Your Melon is by far one of the best things to ever happen to me. What Love Your Melon does is incredible. Its an apparel brand that was created by 2 college students to put hats on kids battling cancer. Think about that. 2 college kids decided to create a company that would change the nation.

Why wouldn’t you want to be a part of that?

I can think of a hundred reasons why you SHOULD support Love Your Melon, but just to give you the jist of it, I will give you 6.

1. The products are adorable.

Between hats, mugs, shirts, caps, headbands, you can get just about anything from LYM. They make amazing Christmas gifts. Trust me, I have at least one on my list every year.

2. They support pediatric cancer and their non-profit partnerships.

This alone makes my heart melt. Check out the video my crew made for Love Your Melon Day 2016.

3. They donate to kids with cancer.

Can it get any cuter than that? The kids in the hospital are so excited when we come to visit. It makes their day so much better and honestly, to see their faces light up is enough to bring tears to your eyes.

4. They make you feel like a superhero.

Not all superheroes wear capes. Well, at least we don’t get to wear ours all the time. But the light up superhero costumes we get to wear for donation events are a hit amongst the kids.

5. The ambassadors you meet are some of the kindest people you will know.

I love my crew and I look forward to seeing their wonderful faces every Monday for our meetings. They are all so sweet and the compassion they have is what makes you realize that good people do still exist.

6. Every release is like Christmas.

Releases are the best thing ever. Like on cyber Monday this year they have 10 different releases. Like you can count on me ordering like 7 things. Haha.

But in all seriousness, this organization could use your support. Pediatric cancer is quite underfunded. That’s just another reason why Love Your Melon has my heart. They support something that needs funding. Research within pediatric cancer has little funding and for an organization to help support that is huge.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
