10 Brands To Shop To Stay Cute With A Cause
LYM

I love to shop. I love to shop a lot, to the point where I often find myself encountering shoppers remorse and guilt for the amount of money that I spend. However, there are some products that I feel absolutely no shame in supporting. Here is a list of my favorite companies that give portions of their profit, as well as support and advocacy, to great causes and nonprofits. If you love to shop and love to do good, this list is for you!

1. Love Your Melon-

Most known for their adorable beanies offered in almost any color imaginable, this company offers a wonderful selection of clothing. It also puts 50% of its profits toward cancer research. Love Your Melon has a unique program called the "Campus Crew" that works to advocate and raise awareness for childhood cancer and represent Love Your Melon on college campuses.

2. Lokai-

Lokai bracelets are made to represent the highs and lows of life as well as all that occurs in between. Each bracelet is made with a white bead containing water from Mt. Everest, the highest point on earth, and a black bead containing mud from the Dead Sea, the lowest point. On top of this, Lokai offers the bracelet in a variety of different colors each representing a cause. These include the pink bracelet which supports Susan G-Komen breast cancer research, orange bracelet supporting the National Association for Mental Illness, rainbow bracelet which supports the Make a Wish Foundation, purple bracelet supporting the Alzheimer's Association, and many others. Part of the proceeds from each bracelet bought go to the partnered charity.

3. Ivory Ella-

Ivory Ella offers a variety of adorable products, including clothing, phone products, water bottles, etc, all featuring an elephant. 10% of the companies' profits are donated to the "Save the Elephant Foundation."

4. Mission Cute-

Subscription boxes are the "next big things". This one, however, is truly unique. Mission cute subscribers receive a mystery box each month with a variety of products that have one thing in common, they are always cute. Boxes are relative to the season and include things such as candles, jewelry, edible treats, cards, and lots of other fun things! The best part is that each month, subscribers are asked to nominate a nonprofit. The nonprofit chosen for that given month receives part of the profit from the boxes and Mission Cute using their products to advocate and raise awareness for their cause!

5. Elephant Pants-

Similar to Ivory Ella, Elephant Pants sell products featuring adorable elephant prints and donate part of their proceeds to The International Elephant Foundation, which aims to protect elephants and preserve their habitats.

6. Bombas Socks-

This company saw a community need and matched it with a business. For every pair of Bombas Socks that are purchased, the company donates one to a homeless shelter in The United States. These socks also have a high-quality design that makes them comfortable as well as charitable!

7. Makai Clothing Company-

10% of the profits from this clothing company are donated to the protection of sea turtles and their habitats. A variety of fashionable clothing and accessories are offered!

8. Toms-

Toms offers a wide variety of fashionable shoes in many colors, patterns, and styles. What's even better than this is the wide variety of charity and nonprofit support that Toms provides. Toms has partnerships with over 100 organizations providing services from shoe donation, water system support, and aiding in safe births in countries without access to proper medical care. Toms donates both proceeds and products helping over 70 countries around the world.

9. Happy Earth-

This company donates 50% of its proceeds to environmental conversation. When you purchase the clothing from this business, you are not only buying quality, fashionable clothing for the variety of collections that the company offers, but you are promoting a truly happy earth.

10. Sergenetee-

The goal of this company is quite unique and quite amazing. Sergentee aims to supports independent artisans and cultural tradition by purchasing its fabric from over 25 different countries. On top of this, it donates 10% of its profits back to these communities and other grassroots causes. Sergentee offers a wide array of products including clothing, hats, backpacks, and handbags all representing a piece of the world.

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!
