giveaway I'm going to tell you all about it now and then make sure to head over to yoga byanca aways is we really try to highlight small businesses so if you're into shopping small and supporting small upand cominging Brands and entrepreneurs definitely um pay attention to these Brands and just make a mental note of them for the future in case you are looking for any one of these products in the future thanks so much for checking it out and let's Dive Right In I'll show you what we got so the first thing we've got in our Yoga Retreat packing guide giveaway is a pair of panda sunglasses and you'll see on the really cool case it comes with it says look good do good wear Panda I'll just show you what they look like these retail for $120 and these sunglasses are just what I want for summer they are a unisex pair which I really love and it's a classic wayf far frame and um when you wear Panda you're creating a positive social and environmental impact all around the world because for each pair of sunglasses that is purchased Panda um provides a medical eye exam to someone in need and a pair of prescriptions glasses so that's a great way to look great and also feel really good about your purchase next up from do good shop we have the sari yoga bag this is a great little bag for carrying all your yoga gear and they've also included this little pouch that velcro here so you can put in other things and then put it into this amazing little yoga bag so what we love about um doood shop.org is that because they are a registered nonprofit Boutique all proceeds from each and every purchase benefit Artisans escaping human trafficking forc labor poverty and Injustice so it's shopping that does good in the world and you get unique and gorgeous handmade gifts for others or to treat yourself in the process so it's a win-win you can use code yoga free ship for free shipping on any size order from doood shop.org next up from Wild Zora the we have a wild Zora sampler pack so it's five packs for $4.90 and um so these are the original meat and veggie bar and what I love about it is that every package contains about one serving of certified organic veggies it is completely allergen friendly no grains no gluten no soy um no milk or nuts and definitely no added sugar or sweeteners all of the meats are naturally and humanely raised without antibiotics or added hormones and um it's made with 100% grass-fed beef um 100% natural lamb and Freer range turkey so it's real food and they tastes delicious it tastes like a more flavorful more moist and definitely more nutrient-dense jerky and they're really easy to toss in a bag for a quick snack when you're on the run and all ybcs can use code Candace yoga-2 for 25% off good through April next up from Sava yoga we have the Bonnie bralet in scratch print which retails for $39 it has a really cool back um with this crisscross that you see here and also a pair of Mantra leggings in the same print which retail for $59 and what I love about them is they have a nice wide waistband it lies flat on the stomach and a triangle gusset which is really nice um really comfortable when you're wearing it and moving around for classes like yoga so SATA is a great brand because they take an allnatural approach to organic cotton cultiv cultivation so it's free from pesticides and fertilizers allowing nature to take its own course and develop self sustaining ecosystems this matching scratch set is perfect for practice whether you are doing yoga or you're going to the gym and all ybcs can use the one time 20% off code and this offer is good for any one purchase from saol living.com next up we have a couple bars from mon nutrition this is a vegan GMO free glutenfree paleo friendly bar to keep your hunger at Bay when you're on the go I think both of these are delicious they have a cherry almond chocolate chip flavor and then a cacao cashew brownie flavor as well and they're both equally delicious we were really excited to partner up with Greener Chef for this y RPG giveaway and the reason why we included it for our Yoga Retreat packing guide not that you would actually bring a cutting board to the retreat but it's a great way to cut up some food when you're on the go so if you're running out the door or packing for a flight and you just need to have some really healthy snacks on hand for your flight I love the idea of making sure that you're cutting on a natural and safe cutting surface so a lot of conventional cutting boards are either made of plastic which you don't want because you know if you've got a very sharp knife some of that plastic could get into your food and contaminate it or if you have a wooden cut cutting board a lot of times they are sealed with chemical sealant which um over time May kind of get into your food as you cut it as well or as you wash it um it might kind of break down so what I love about this is that it's an organic bamboo cutting board it comes with this cutting board oil spray which is 100% pure California walnut oil and it also comes with this amazing little set of um utensils these as well over here and all YB seers can use promo code gr chef2 for 20% off their bamboo cutting board and utensil set while supplies last so a while back oia sent me a couple different products to try and my favorite one as you can see CU it's almost Halfway Gone is the essential hydrating oil so this is an oil that you put on your face you put about five to seven um Strokes it's a roller ball situation here which I love because it makes for really great travel so definitely something that you'd want to bring on your Yoga Retreat what I love is that it's made in the USA and all the ingredients are 100% naturally derived ingredients a lot of them are certified organic and it is vegan biodegradable and there's no animal testing and I just love how I put it on at night before I go to bed and I wake up and my skin is nice and moisturized it's a very lightweight oil that easily absorbs into the skin and feels amazing Source vital Apothecary sent a bunch of a really incredible products including their natural deodorant their peppermint body wash nourishing body cream um lavender body lotion and some essential oils up here as well everything I've tried so far I've absolutely loved but I really wanted to highlight this stress relief roll on that they sent I'll show you what it looks like what I love about it and why I think it's perfect for the yoga retreat packing guide is because you can just throw it in your bag um in your carryon and it helps to keep stress at Bay some of the key oils they included were the Melissa Melissa and lavender essential oils which help to instill peace and calm there is also a basil essential oil which helps to stimulate the mind um there's margam essential oil with which lends a calming and restful sensation to the mind and body and there's pine essential oil as well which helps to encourage a calm sense of self and and um to help muscles as well so you can even rub it on storm muscles this is a really great company that I love everything is 100% pure and natural and everything works which is one of the things I really loved I've tried their deodorant and worn it all day and it really did work so definitely a company to check out and include some of their products when you're off on your yoga retreat so that about does it for today's giveaway I hope you guys enjoyed if you did please give it a thumbs up if you have any questions or comments leave those Below in the comment section
