Juice Beauty Lip Crayons
These lip crayons have a unique blend of phyto-pigments that leave lips feeling extra creamy, with a smooth lightweight finish. These pigment-rich sticks go on super easy, giving a beautiful and subtle shine for everyday wear into the night. Juice Beauty uses an exclusive plant (containing a blend of rose, eggplant, moringa and eclipta daisy) for better skin hydration. While most other products’ base is tap water, Juice Beauty’s revolutionary formula contains an antioxidant rich botanical juice base. This striking product is only $22 so you can get different shades everyone will love.
“I have bought this product multiple times and have never been disappointed. It goes on light and almost feels sheer but there is a nice color to it AND it lasts. Highly recommended.”

Brave Soul Blankets
These stylish and comfortable blankets bring warmth and coziness to each person. These handmade double gauze blankets are so popular for individuals with chronic illnesses as many of us struggle with temperature regulation. These blankets provide coziness, without too much warmth and weight. Brave Soul Blankets designs beautiful blankets that make a difference in the community, providing comfort and support to all of its wearers.
The founder of this well-respected nonprofit is Melaney Neimac, who wanted to create blankets for people with chronic illnesses, mothers on bed rest for high-risk pregnancies and parents in the NICU with their preemie. Melaney worked as a pediatric neuro-trauma nurse, passionate for many activities such as hiking and crossfit, until she was diagnosed with many life-altering illnesses.
“Absolutely amazing! These double gauze blankets are wonderful if you’re seeking a breathable fabric. The metallic gold is much more vibrant than I anticipated which was a wonderful surprise! In general such a beautiful blanket that I also had embroidered and has been a helpful reminder during my recovery from a major surgery”
Having POTS, Cystic Fibrosis, Mitochondrial Disease, Global Digestive Tract Paralysis, Mast Cell Activation Disorder – Melaney has spent her fair share of time in hospitals, infusion clinics and appointments. Melaney knows exactly what type of support she needs during these long and difficult times, and these blankets do just the trick!

You can wear these jeans everywhere – from long hospital mornings and doctor appointments to long walks outside and dinner dates.
“The Able Label provides quality, stylish clothes with adapted designs and hidden extras that make self-dressing easier for those with dressing difficulties”
Able Label Website
The Able Label designs adaptive products with quality fabrics and innovative fastenings specifically to make dressing quicker and safer for those who may suffer from restricted movement. Katie Ellis, a fashion buyer, founded The Able Label when her grandmother was diagnosed with Parkinsons and dressing became quite difficult for her.

Harbor Hood
This pillow hood is the perfect product for patients who need a bit more comfort while sitting in the waiting room or for travelers who need a bit more personal space while jet-setting off to their next adventure. These unique pillows are high-quality, eco-friendly and made sustainably right here in the US. The shredded memory foam blend will have you never wanting to take your pillow hood off! The most practical part of this product is its water-proof inner cover.
Founder, Kate Brandy, was first inspired to create these cozy pillow hoods when she would tag along with her grandfather for his multiple hospital visits. He would constantly say how cold, bright, loud and overcrowded hospitals would be, making it very difficult to get in a comfortable position to get some rest.
