When traveling or heading out for a road trip, I am always looking for new bags. I found these incredible pouches from Aloha Collection. The brand is born from the combined dreams of two longtime friends, These do it all pieces in the brand’s fun Coco Palms print will take you from the beach to a night out.

The Aloha Collection has perfect styles for Back to School, kids, travel, and organization. They are easy to clean, perfect for the COVID age we are currently living in. Being the original splash-proof pouches keep your dry stuff dry and your wet stuff separate. Made of 100% Tyvek. Available in a variety of styles to incorporate all travel and adventure needs.

Aloha Collection’s Mission is to encourage travel, adventure, healthy and active lifestyles, and share ALOHA. Its vision is to build an international Ohana, one bag at a time.

The collection offers everything from totes and duffels to wear-anywhere hats. The brand is planning to introduce a line of sarongs inspired by their world travels crafted from local artisans in Bali.

During the pandemic, they have donated over 5,000 bags to nurses, doctors, and first responders. They also donate 5% of their annual proceeds to Hawaiian conservation in hopes of protecting the beautiful place they call home. This is their way to give back to the community and help preserve the cultural heritage and natural beauty of Hawaii.

These pouches will keep you smiling during the fall and winter months.

The summer to fall transition in Louisiana is different than in different states. It is relatively warm during the day, but the evenings cool off a little. The saying is, if you don’t like the weather in Louisiana today, just wait until tomorrow. Since it started to feel a little like fall. I decided I wanted to work on pieces that I plan to include in my fall capsule wardrobe.

I was thrilled to find Adyson Parker. This company brings two fashion industry individuals with different personal styles into one. One is Southern and the other a native New Yorker. This appealed to me more since I moved from New York to the South, so who better to bring my belief in style and knows no age or size boundary. They also make sure all their pieces that are comfortable. These pieces are versatile for the modern woman offering endless styling possibilities that embrace your personal style. That you can use day or night.

The first piece that I loved was the Tie Dye Pull-Over Hoodie Sweatshirt. Boasting a tie-dye pattern this cozy hoodie sweatshirt is perfect for those casual, cooler days. It was the first piece I pulled out when the weather got cooler. The color, style add very soft fabric have quickly made it my favorite piece. I would purchase this for my family and friends for the holidays.

The other piece that I feel in love with is the Ballet Neck Stripe Pullover Sweater. This Striped ballet neck sweater has a soft fine gauge sweater yarn is designed for a light airy feel. It is perfect for transitional weather. I love that this piece looks great with jeans but also can be dressed up for my zoom meetings.

These two are such great wardrobe staples. They are so versatile and really go with everything. I love that they are edgy while still feeling feminine.

I hope my fall wardrobe essentials are a good start for you to create your fall capsule wardrobe. What are your fashion essentials for fall? I can’t wait to bring you more from Adyson Parker.

 

 

 

Aloha Organic Soap-Vegan Dishwashing Starter Kit

During the last few months that I have been home, I have been looking for new natural ways to clean in the house. I discovered the Aloha Organic Soap brand. The brand is all about natural clean care, loving each other, and respecting mother nature. The products are hand-made and are all bio-degradable and go right back into the earth to cycle its way back through the natural process.

They started by first using filtered rainwater for the soaps and noticed that gave a much better later and provided a better clean while being softer on the skin. They are currently working on saltwater soaps using water fright from the crystal clear beaches of Waimanalo, Oahu.

Currently, in a 50K square feet, FDA approved facility they can make more soaps. Everything is always done by hand. The brand focuses on hiring single mothers, as the founder is and teaching new skills that provide opportunities for them to provide a better living situation for those that depend on them.

The goal of the company is to open a child care center inside and space for youth to be comfortable and enjoy each other while waiting for their mom at work. What a wonderful idea?

The company’s future includes producing more natural home care cleaning solutions like laundry care. Then adding more products, like pet care, home care, and bath products.

One of the products that I was intrigued by was the vegan dishwashing kit. This is  100% organic  coconut oil known for its superior cleansing properties by stripping away oil and dirt from surfaces. For greasy pots and pans, our activated organic charcoal dishwashing soaps have toxin absorbing and antibacterial properties. It absorbed and binds to grease and harmful microbial so they could be flushed down the drain.

It was easy for me to transition from my liquid soap to the bar. It was great at removing grease and did well in washing my dishes. I love to hand wash everything so it was also soft on my hands. I love the little brush that comes with it. These also make great gifts for the holidays.
