So I have some really big news, you guys… We launched Sohp Shop!!

So yesterday was kind of a big (and busy) day over here! I hope you don’t hold it against me that I didn’t get this post up earlier. I’m SO happy to tell you all about it now. We’ve been working on bringing Sohp Shop to life for over a year! Who’s “we”? Lilly, Fletcher, and me. Oh and Josh, too (sorry Josh). What makes this so special to me is that Sohp Shop was Lilly’s idea! She came up with the idea of hiding small toys in soap “to encourage kids to wash their hands” while making Christmas gifts back in 2018. She and Fletcher sold them at a lemonade stand in our front yard, and they were such a big hit that we got the idea to make them in a larger scale.

I won’t bore you with all it took to get the product here today (but I do want to share a lot more about our process of starting a new business from scratch in the days/weeks to come – I feel like there could be a lot to unpack and talk about here), but we are very proud of the time and effort we gave to make Sohp Shop the best that we could make it be.

We launched with three themes: Unicorn, Ninja, and Fortune. Inside each ball of soap is a surprise toy! The idea is to make hand washing feel less like a chore and a lot more fun. The more you wash, the closer you get to the surprise! We hope to expand our themes in the year ahead and offer more fun ways for kids to wash their hands and create healthy habits. And rest assured that we took care when choosing our ingredients.

NO PARABENS. NO PHTHALATES. NO SLS/SLES. NO SULFATES.

There has never been a more important time to make hand washing a fun and consistent habit for kids! Come check out our new fancy schmancy Sohp Shop website! You can see more of our story on our About Us page here and check out all of our products and collections on our Shop page here!

Last week was a crazy and confusing week, but it all got even weirder over the weekend, don’t you think? It’s like all of a sudden it really sunk in what we all needed to do. Our school has moved to e-learning from home for the next two weeks, and I expect that will be extended. We are hunkering down to flatten the Coronavirus curve and preparing for a long stretch of time ahead of us. Like I mentioned last Friday, my blog will continue in much the same fashion that it always has – a light hearted break for your day. So today I’m sharing 10 ways to improve your isolated weeks ahead.

Let’s just be honest and admit that TV will have a legit role in making it through the day. If you’re looking for a great show I highly recommend Good Girls. I’m also loving Single Parents, The Bold Type, and the latest season of Outlander!

There will be many family activities and board games are always a favorite for my kids. I love Scrabble the most! Scrabble Junior is a great version for kids, too!

I’m making an effort to focus on good choices. Getting a little more active and exercising. Going for long walks in my neighborhood. Getting fresh air. This swingy asymmetrical top is new and adorable, and Lululemon leggings are comfortable for (let’s just be honest) all day long.

Like I mentioned my kids will be e-learning from home the next 2 weeks (at a minimum). In addition I plan to have reading time every single day, and Kindle Kids makes it so much easier for kids to find a book that they love and removes the “we don’t have any books I like” excuse! Plus it comes with access to thousands of popular books!

One way I make time for myself is a long walk with headphones and either music or a podcast. Bose headphones are my favorite and I’m just so sad because I left mine on an airplane on our way home from Mexico in January. I ordered these headphones because they had good reviews and are only $70, and they’re FINE, but just not at all as good as the Bose headphones. If you’re looking for a good new podcast my friend Claire just launched an amazing one called Dabble! Check it out!

In my quest to stay active I’ll be using my Obe Fitness app! It is the best app and has all sorts of different workouts and it’s just really so fun. If you use my code CHASSITY30 you get 30% off of your first month!

I’m planning to replace a few of my breakfasts and lunches with juices to help make sure I’m getting all of my vitamins and hopefully curb some of my snacking habit! BluePrint is available on Amazon (thanks Whole Foods) and can ship right to you in 2 hours!

I’m the type of person who loves to cuddle up under a blanket on the couch all year round. These Chappy Wrap blankets are my most favorite – I have one on each couch in my living room.

These Olly vitamins are vitamins that my kids will actually take! They really do taste good – all while providing not only essential nutrients, but also live probiotics!

And we’ll end with what I will in all likelihood spend a GREAT deal of time in the next few weeks – my Lake Pajamas. They are THE comfiest and cutest pajamas ever. I hope you all have a beautiful, happy, and healthy Monday.

Interrupting a wild (and at the same time very slow) Saturday to share that J.Crew is having a huge sale right now – 50% off sale and 30% off site wide – so I wanted to pull together some of my favorite pieces for the fam (sorry I left out the men).

Lilly has this cute striped tank and Fletch has that rainbow stripe shirt. I love that green stripe shirtdress! Those woven ballet flats are pretty much the cutest. And they’re not pictured above, but how adorable are these sandals for kids?!

Shop J.Crew right here (don’t forget to use the code GOSHOP), and hang in there folks!

I spend a lot of time talking about clean beauty for women, but what about clean and responsible products for men? Well I am very excited to have the opportunity to partner with Josh’s favorite, Every Man Jack. I first discovered Every Man Jack during a shopping run to Wholefoods. The products are also carried at other stores such as Target, CVS, and Walmart, but they’re flying off the shelves! I tend to stick to Whole Foods, at it is my own personal barometer for safe beauty and wellness. 

Every Man Jack is a line of men’s grooming products that focuses on clean ingredients. They use as many naturally derived and plant-based ingredients as possible, and their products are made in the US and bottled from 50% post-consumer recycled content. They are paraben, phthalates, and cruelty free, all while effectively working and delivering exceptional performance. That is if you remember to use them. If not then hopefully you, like Josh, have a pre-teen daughter not above calling you out and “subtly” reminding you.

Every Man Jack’s line of products include grooming staples for body, beard, shaving, skin, hair, and of course Lilly’s favorite, deodorant. Many of us are rethinking our own routines and trying to make smarter and safer choices in 2020, and Every Man Jack is an easy and assessible way to help out the men in our lives!

Every Man Jack recently launched their subscription box program, and right now through March 18th use the code “LOOKLINGERLOVE” for 30% Off Site-Wide + Subscription 1st Order! The subscription box program includes free shipping and free samples as well!

Rethink your routine and check out all of Every Man Jack’s products right here. Our most favorites include the SPF Face Lotion, the Sandalwood Deodorant (it’s aluminum free btw), and the 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner (Fletcher uses this, too)!

PS: Let’s all give props to Josh for being a part of this post. The fact that he is in these photos should say all that you need to know about how much we both like Every Man Jack! And don’t forget to use the code “LOOKLINGERLOVE” for 30% off site-wide + first subscription 1st order!

Stocking up on hand towels is always a good idea for bathrooms and kitchens so that you have have a good supply for rotation. I haven’t tried the Bad Air Sponge but the reviews are phenomenal! Pretty plants help clean your air while also looking good. And I love that simple, white paper towel holder.
