I also want to use my shirts to give back, so for every 5 shirt sales 1 will be donated to an essential worker. For all sales of shirts that support the cause a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the cause.

SCRUBCAPS
Inspiration: In June 2020 during PA school rotations, my amazing preceptor was making scrub hats for her co-workers, so naturally I started to make my own scrub caps based off hers. Ask my friends, they were cute but not very durable. I have since practiced & upgraded my design. During my OB rotation I saw the ponytail scrub caps and fell in love. SO PRACTICAL! Plus, add some buttons & holy ear saving goodness!

Products in our SMILENA Gift Boxes
Wine Wix
Candles
Inspiration: Studying for PA school I almost always had a candle burning. When Derecho hit the midwest, I was living with my preceptor and literally had to study by candle light as we had no power for days. Plus I LOVE Bath & Body candles (AKA I gave them as gifts A LOT)
Wine Wix is the cutest mother/daughter duo from Flossmoor IL (my hometown) who began making candles at the start of the 2020 pandemic. They repurpose wine bottles by cutting them & sanding them down to hold their candles. The candles are 100% soy and free from any lead or zinc. They burn for hours and smell AMAZING!

Sip of Hope
Coffee
Sip of Hope Coffee Grounds
Inspiration: I didn't drink coffee until I started PA school so I now fully understand its importance to everyone's daily lives.
I love Sip of Hope not only for its taste, but also its incredible message. 100% of their proceeds support proactive suicide prevention and mental health education. Mental Health has played a huge role in my life as I suffer from Anxiety & Depression. But I also know how much our world is struggling right now with everything going on.

HAND LOTION
L'OCCITANE Hand Lotion
Inspiration: A few years ago I was given this amazing lotion from my husband who sweetly researched the best lotions for healthcare workers since we are constantly washing our hands. Since usign it I SWEAR by this lotion. It is the only thing that has kept me from getting constant paper cuts while working. I thought it would be perfect to add this to gift boxes since we are now ALL washing our hands like crazy & hand sanitizer is not always the nicest to our skin.

Buttercupp
Candles
Buttercupp candles is another small business making hand poured soy candles whose vibe I simply couldn't resist. Their labels and bright colors spread joy before even lighting the candles & their scents are perfect for some self love at home.
But what I love most, is that they have candles which pair perfectly with our upcoming boxes, to give you any vibe you desire. Virtual happy hour? Try the Paloma. Avid hiker? Try the Day Hike. Missing the beach? Try the High Tide.
The Rustic House
Candle
Inspiration: During this pandemic I often find myself craving the ability to just go work peacefully in a coffee shop. The Java candle made me feel transported to a different office environment, feeling focused & awake without even drinking my coffee.
Our sense of smell is incredibly powerful as is its capability of affecting mood, evoking emotions and triggering memories. After years of testing in a garage, two best friends mastered a soy blend that is clean, soft and highly scented – from the first to last light. Each candle is hand poured with a natural soy blend that is dye and additive free for a clean burn. In addition, the 100%, all natural, lead-free cotton wick creates a candle with a large scent throw that burns through to the very bottom of the container.
