9 online black friday deals that you DONT want to miss!

happy black friday!
good day yesterday?
blake and i [daphne, too!] started our own tradition yesterday & it was great.
peaceful. calm. easy. simple.
i took almost 100 awesome photos.
but i didnt have my memory card in... [bummer!]

anyways! lets talk about scoring you some awesome stuff.
i have a bunch of shops listed below.
all have great deals.
all do awesome things for the planet.
and [i hope] most of these will be new places you will continue to support!

here we go : 
1) misto box!
what : a monthly coffee delivery service. each month you get 4 mini-bags of coffee from different parts of the world.
i bought a sample box for blake last month [his birthday is on sunday!] and my mom bought him a 3-month subscription!
their prices are awesome. you are supporting a cool business and giving fair & equal trade to coffee farmers around the world.
also, if you love the mini-bags, you get free shipping on the full-sized bags throughout the month.
AND for each purchase ; you earn points that you can redeem for free coffee.
the deal : a super-secret deal for their twitter followers [its hasnt been announced yet]
follow their twitter here!

2) 3way beauty
what : shower//shave//shampoo bars AND doggy style shampoo bars!
remember when i reviewed their awesome shampoo on daphne? they make a really rad-smelling bar for dog-baths.
the deal : type in code BFSBCM between today & the 26th to save 30% on EVERYTHING! i really do recommend their stuff ; daphne hates baths, but gets so clean with their soap!

3) vega
what : my favorite [vegan] protein powder on the planet. each scoop is full of fruits, veggies, protein, all the vitamins you need & its delish. its also pretty affordable. we use chocolate & french vanilla.
the deal : type in blackfriday12 to save 20% on EVERYTHING until the 26th. also, shipping is free over $100 ; so you can get 2 huge tubs for $100 [usually $70 a piece]

4) bubbs
what : an online retailer [think etsy for nonprofits that give to charity] that has an AWESOME selection of products. they have 'women', 'men', 'pets', and 'children' sections. you can find anything from condoms [for each sold, they donate another to a developing nation], to dog food [that donates food to shelters] to coffee [that give shelter to a homeless family]. their site is inspiring and makes me feel like small steps CAN change the world.
the deal : its still a secret ; but be sure to head to their site & check their twitter to see what is revealed.

5) project 7
what : oh my gosh! LOVE this site. they offer a range of items ; ALL of which do amazing things. they sell shirts, coffee, mints, iphone cases and coffee mugs. depending on what you buy, you will provide notebooks, housing, plant a tree or give medicine to someone that is sick.
i just ordered three bags of coffee from them last week. three bags = three nights of shelter provided to someone without a home
the deal : save 25% on EVERYTHING + free shipping [that is awesome] with code todayshow

6) tanQ
what : a shirt company in oregon. each month, they make ONE t-shirt & donate ALL profits to ONE charity. some times its the food bank. or ocean cleanup. or education. somebody [me!] has already purchased this shirt ;)
the deal : type in tgif at checkout to save 30% on EVERYTHING until the 25th

7) ecojot
what : a journal company that gives a notebook & pen to a child in need for each jumbo journal that is sold.
the deal : save up to 20% on all regular priced items [add it to your cart to see the savings] ; also, if you spend over $30, you get a free 2013 calendar. AND up to 50% off their fabric collection.

8) united by blue
what : a clothing company that removes one pound of trash from the ocean for EACH item purchased.
the deal : check out the deals here ; they have three deals depending on how much you spend.

9) dianapantz!
what : yes! MY shop!! i have 9 new pieces that will be added to the shop this weekend [remember i said my memory card wasnt in?!]. each month, i give 5% of all proceeds to charity & then i double that amount with my own money! plus, i do my best to minimize my shops' impact on the planet.
the deal : you can save 25% off EVERYTHING in my shop PLUS a fun, surprise gift for ALL orders over $50! type in IMSHOPPING25 at checkout!

: holiday gift guide 3.0 :

happy saturday everybody!
i wanted to share another great gift guide with you this afternoon.
why?!
well, this one is really special. 
jeannett [ya know, the great blog i link to each friday for insta-friday] is hosting a fundraiser [starting TODAY through december 9th] for an international adoption fund. 
you can read the whole story of xander here.
international adoption is something blake and i dream about and talk about all the time. hopefully in the next year or so, we will be able to start the adoption process.

the coolest thing about all of these shops below is that they are all donating a portion of their sales this week for the fundraiser.

[theres an slr camera, hand drill, kitchen-aid mixer and so much more!]
