5 Easy Ways to Give Back this Holiday Season

Hello, friends!

I am SO excited for today’s post because I get to tell you about One Warm Coat®! One Warm Coat® is a non-profit organization partnering with Coca-Cola at Walmart to give back this holiday season! This season the program is titled “Layer On Love” and it’s goal is to provide as many coats (completely free) to anyone in need.

Seriously, how cool is that? You can get rid of extra coats you may be holding onto, and make a huge difference in the life of someone who really needs it. I really can’t imagine what it must feel like to not be able to provide something as simple as a coat for my children, the thought that some parents out there have this dilemma hurts my heart, and makes me want to take action. So first, I went to Walmart and picked up some Coca-Cola!

5 Easy Ways to Give Back This Holiday Season:

  1. Donate your time to a local organization in need. There are always animal shelters, shelters, and others who might be in need of some volunteering this holiday!
  2. Go through your closet and make a donate pile of everything you could live without. Gather all of your gently used clothing and donate it to those in need.
  3. Host a can drive in your neighborhood. Reach out to a local food bank and ask them what items they need, then try and gather as many of those items as you can to donate.
  4. Bake cookies and pass them out at a women’s shelter, police station, fire house, or anywhere else you can think would spread some holiday cheer.
  5. Donate your gently used coats to Coca-Cola® who is working with One Warm Coat® this holiday. See how easy it is below!

    What a great idea!! One of my favorite things about the holiday season is using it as a time to be thankful for what we’ve been blessed with, and to pay that forward to others. I love getting my kids involved, and think this coloring sheet is a brilliant plan to spread news about a great cause!

    I love these ideas so much! I always try to encourage a sense of charity in my children. When you are blessed, you need to help those who aren’t as blessed.

    I love that you are including a coloring page with your message so that kids too can start to learn why we donate things and how we can all work together to make sure that everyone is safe and happy. What a great post.

    Every season I clean out clothing items that I don’t wear. Not only does it help make room in my closet for the few new pieces I might need, I can help someone in need; especially the winter season with winter clothes.

    Donating really does make you feel good too. I normally donate food to our local food shelf. It’s great to give now that the holidays are approaching too.

    We’ve been a lot better about donations of old clothes and coats lately. Used to be we had to sell them but as things have gotten better for us we’ve been able to pass it on a little.

    During the holiday season I like to give back by donating my old clothes, donating to food banks and to toy drives. I’ll have to find a couple of coats that I can let go of too.

    I always donate all the coats my kids outgrow each season. It makes my kids feel good that other children are benefitting from their items that are too small on them.

Today my therapist and I were talking about the power you have to see your glass as either half full or half empty.

I’m someone with anxiety, depression, and chronic illness - and balancing those while keeping a “half glass full” mentality can be hard. But it’s so necessary.

Here are some morning affirmations I plan on saying every day to keep a positive mindset, wanted to share them in case you want to try it, too!

✨I send love to every part of my body.

✨I am excited to wake up each morning to live this beautiful life I am creating.

✨Today i align myself with freedom, growth, and joy.

✨I give myself permission to go after what I want.

✨I am determined and will never give up.

It can be REALLY easy to feel shame for "not doing enough" on the days that are hard for us. But taking the time to heal and give your body what it needs IS being productive, and that’s something that I’m always trying to remind myself.

Just wanted to share in case anyone else needs the reminder, too. ✨ You ARE enough, and you’re DOING enough, even if it’s not as much as you did yesterday.

#ad 💕 I was so excited to hear that @athleta had worked with active women of all sizes to not only extend their sizing but also to test each piece to ensure the fit and performance was perfect. I’ve always marveled at the Athleta styles and to finally wear them myself was huge!

I am a 22/24 and wear a 3X typically, in Athleta I am a 2X and the pieces fit like a glove. The fabrics are soft and comfortable and I just really feel like they succeeded in their mission to create gorgeous, size-inclusive workout wear.

I’m doing a full try-on of a few different styles in my stories. Take a peek and let me know which active look I shared is your favorite!
