The Holidays Are Upon Us!
The fall and winter months are our absolute FAVORITE seasons of the year!
Maybe it’s because it’s actually cool enough outside to spend some quality time in nature. Or maybe it’s because all of the decorations, lights, good food, and time with family make this time of your extra special.
As the year draws to a close, we want to share a few of our favorite things that have helped make 2019 an awesome year!
 
Our Favorite Things of 2019

Leuchtturm1917 Journals 

I journal almost every day as it helps to clear my head. I am also obsessed with Bullet Journals and variations thereof.
I had been a long-time user of Moleskine notebooks (don’t worry, they’re not made from moles’ skin!), but then I heard about Leuchtturm1917 notebooks on an episode of the Tim Ferriss Show. They came highly recommended…by amazing author Neil Gaiman! He talked about how much he loved the quality of these journals.
I bought my first one in a beautiful emerald color (which really doesn’t look emerald to me, but that’s what they call it). 
It’s a beautiful journal that I use every day! 

Corkor Wallet

Since we started podcast in 2013, we’ve seen a LOT of new products in the cruelty-free vegan space. One of the products Larissa loves is her Vegan Corkor wallet. She’s had it for at least 4 years now and has put it through its paces, for sure! After years of being shoved in her back pocket, the cork has worn smooth but it’s held up incredibly well.
Corkor wallets are:

* vegan (vegetable leather)
* 100% animal-free and Peta-Approved
* sustainable
* light material (weight)
* soft and smooth
* water resistant

 
Here’s how they minimize the impact on the environment:

* Use a sustainable natural material. 
* Minimize the use of polyester.
* Use non-toxic water-based inks. 
* Use water reutilization systems.
* Source and manufacture locally. 
* Make items by hand and in small batches.
* Design for longevity and durability.
* Keep packaging simple.
* Ship in bulk to logistics warehouses to reduce carbon emissions.

 
Besides wallets, they also offer bags in various styles including mini bags and crossbody bags, plus belts for both men and women.
If you purchase a Corkor product, here’s a great article on how to clean your cork wallet.
