Greenstyle Creations 2017 Christmas Kindness Challenge

Greenstyle Creations 2017 Christmas Kindness Challenge

Posted by Joni Pearce on

The Greenstyle Creations 2017 Christmas Kindness Challenge begins Monday December 4th and will run through the weekend until December 10th.  I am soooo excited for the challenge this year!  

I love the Christmas season, I love the atmosphere, I love the family get togethers, everything.  But I do have to be intentional, especially with my children, to make sure the season is about giving to others, enjoying friends and family, and being thankful and not about STUFF, STUFF and more STUFF!  

HOW THE KINDNESS CHALLENGE WORKS

So here is how it works, if you weren't in the Greenstyle Facebook Group last year or didn't participate.  FIRST, you have to join the facebook group, so go do that now!!  Beginning on Monday, December 4th, I will post a daily "Kindness Challenge" in the Greenstyle Facebook Group.  Once you complete that day's challenge, you comment under the day's challenge post what you did or just that you completed the challenge.  Each person to comment will be entered in for that day's prize.  There will be one winner selected randomly for each day, from Monday December 4th until Sunday December 10th. 

On Sunday, December 3rd, I will post the entire list of "Kindness Challenges" for those that have to work around their schedules.  

PRIZES and SPONSORS

This year we, at Greenstyle Creations, have decided to do the daily prizes a little bit different.  All prizes will be from companies that give a portion of their proceeds (ALWAYS, not just at Christmas!) to a charity or charities!  I have had so much fun researching these companies and I am excited to share them with you!  Each one has such an amazing story and has done so much good.  Their focus is not just the bottom line, they have used their ideas and successful businesses to help others, to give to those in need! I have included companies with a wide variety of products and missions. 

Below, I have listed the companies that are included in this year's kindness challenge.  When you have a few minutes, I encourage you to take a look at their websites.  First, they are just awesome and have amazing products.... Second, if you have some Christmas shopping to do (especially for those that are hard to buy for!) I have just given you a list of shops where you can find very unique gifts and BONUS.... proceeds go to a good cause!  You're very welcome;)

THE GIVING KEYS    www.thegivingkeys.com The Giving Keys offers jewelry that is stamped with an inspirational word like DREAM, CREATE or INSPIRE.
