Company + Charity

I attended The People For The Planet summit a few days ago, it was really nice and I learned a lot (You can watch it from the link in my post about it) I was also introduced to many new sustainable brands. One of which was Sand Cloud, Sand Cloud is a company that started selling sustainable towels but now sells everything from sunscreen to water bottles. Everything is very summery and bright, perfect for a beach day. One of my favorite products is their marble tumbler. The best part is that 10% of all profits go to marine life charities. Which means you can buy cute eco-friendly accessories and support marine life. Win, win! So what are you waiting for head on over to their store!  Sand Cloud Link
