Can we agree that statement tees are a super fun way to say something while you actually say nothing at all. I love them. The most important element of the statement tee is that you believe in what you are wearing. That’s why I really love these tee’s for kids. The messages are really powerful and positive. Empower little girls everywhere with a tee that says, “girls hold up half the sky.” Encourage others to follow their passion by wearing, “I believe in you.” I especially love the “kind is the new black” tee. What a great message for kids to see at the start of the new school year in the classroom, on the playground, on the school bus, and on the soccer field. Let’s be kind. It’s a conversation starter. And just maybe a conversation changer.
Not only do these tees make a positive statement, the company that creates them, Luna Blu Mar, makes a statement of their own. Luna Blu Mar gives a percentage of all sales to provide educational grants for children locally and globally.
Luna Blu Mar was started by two sisters and girlfriends of mine. Six years ago, with two suitcases in tow, my girlfriend Lindsey uprooted herself from a successful career in fashion and marketing to follow her passion and belief in a higher purpose. She sold her possessions and leveraged her finances with the sole purpose of helping indigenous women, children, and orphans in one of the poorest regions of Panama: the Comarca.
After gaining an understanding of the local culture and building relationships in the community, she created a non-profit designed to help educate women and children in the community. Lindsey specifically works with two orphanages: one for boys and girls; and one for boys age 12 and up to provide English classes, art programs, and faith-based education. These tees are an extension of her mission by continuing to provide a sustainable source of education funding for these children.
I love supporting a small business started by women and doing good locally and around the world. I thought you would too! Luna Blu Mar is offering a 15% discount off your entire purchase to all my girlfriends (that’s you!). Just enter promo code GIRLFRIEND15 at checkout. And, I want you to know, I am not paid to write about this company, I just really like their mission and the products they sell.
Happy shopping!
