Cause: "Purchase with Purpose®" - International Sanctuary

Wouldn't it be great to help someone with every dollar you spent? At this phase in life, I do not have the budget to support local farms by buying everything local or to support American business by only buying products "Made in the U.S.A." However, I can choose to "purchase with purpose®" when the opportunity arises. 

One such opportunity to buy with intentionality is presented by iSanctuary. According to the website, each item they sell is made by rescued victims of human trafficking. While I have not yet purchased anything through the organization, I have several jewelry items on my list for the future.


Do you support any causes through your purchasing choices?

Thing: My Favorite Planner

I have a hard time finding the perfect planner, but this one is my favorite. It is made by a company called Gallery Leather in Bar Harbor, Maine. According to their website, Gallery Leather makes their leather products by hand! Speaking of the website, the "About Us" page makes me want to visit the coast of Maine myself.

Back to the planner...There are several features I love:
  • Each weekday is an individual column, divided into times, complete with space for a To Do List at the bottom.
  • The back of the planner has perforated list pages.
  • The planner comes in several great colors.


If you are looking for a small planner, you may want to keep looking; however, this planner would be perfect for a diaper bag, home office, or large purse.
