The Cycling Jersey That is Changing the World

It's not often you find clothing that feels good to wear and does good in the world, too. But look no further, Andrew Gonzalez of Pillar Heights is challenging the apparel norm with his revolutionary Technical Hemp Cycling Jersey.

Features
• Men's and women's styles
• Long and short sleeve options
• Aerodynamic
• Naturally UV protective
• Designed to be functional for every ride, on every use
• Technical Hemp naturally regulates temperate to help you keep cool on hot, sunny days and warm in colder conditions
• Antibacterial properties of hemp help you maintain a fresh and clean feel
• Gym hook loop for quick and easy storing
• Versatile and timeless design
• Durable material
• Waterproof left pocket for safe storing of delicate belongings
• Material is quick drying
• Large center pocket to carry what you need with you, without the ungainly appearance that results from the use of side pockets
• Natural properties do not wash away (unlike chemical treatments on competitor products in the world of cycling apparel) which means you never lose the benefits from your Technical Hemp jersey products

Being a cyclist himself, Andrew knows firsthand the kind of nuisance issues that come up with the type of cycling apparel on the market. To him, riding a bicycle isn't just a way to get from point A to point B, but a lifestyle---whether you utilize a bike for your commute, as a means of exercise, or simply for pleasure. Naturally, he has become acutely aware of the many flaws in the type of gear available on the market for a cyclist. It became apparent over time that if he wanted the perfect cycling jersey, he would have to make it himself. And he did. He started with a prototype that has been perfected through trial and error, utilizing his knowledge of business and textiles---acquired over 10 years as the owner of Lucid Lifestyle, a brick and mortar (as well as online) sustainable apparel boutique with a storefront on the popular Whyte Avenue in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. During the last 4 years, being the entrepreneurial Canadian business owner that he is, Andrew fine-tuned his design and tested the product vigorously with the assistance of his team. To ensure the result was nothing less than the best jersey for your ride. He said his goodbyes to his successful business on Whyte Ave in order to pursue his passion---a cycling jersey that changes the world.

How? Using eco-friendly hemp as the base of his jersey design, which is not only easier on the environment than many alternatives but also ideal for performance, and doing good business right out of his neighborhood in Vancouver, British Columbia. Feeding the homeless, and going even further by donating to UNICEF in order to help children in developing countries, as part of his commitment to making the world a better place one day at a time. Pillar Heights is innovative at its core and looking to make products that have a place in a more ethical, sustainable future. As well as set out to prove that good business and a good conscious go hand in hand. If you've ever talked to Andrew Gonzalez, you know he's the kind of passionate, colorful, and driven individual necessary to see such an ambitious vision through.

Tea Love: Inspired by the Land Down Under (May 2017)

Disclosure: This is not a sponsored post. However, the following content contains affiliate links.

Tea Collection was born in San Francisco, and like the eclectic city from which it was created, it is inspired by the world. Enjoy the flavor of places far and wide... without ever having to leave home, necessarily. Tea Collections continues into 2017 with another installment of their line inspired by the great Down Under---Australia.

#1. Whether you're planning on a vacation, staycation, or neither this summer, you can enjoy a little bit of paradise at home---and everywhere else you go---with the Coral Fern Smocked Romper. We can't get over how stunning this sweet little number is. Available for toddlers up to preteen with sizes from 2 to 12. This lovely romper is only available in "Deep Sea," but let's not kid ourself... who would pick another color over this print?
$35.50



#2. The Bloomfield Tiered Sundress in "Indigo" is the type of wardrobe staple you'll find yourself grabbing for all season long (or longer!). With the subtle beauty and neutral color, it's sure to go with almost everything---if not every single thing---in your little girl's wardrobe!  Find this piece on the Tea Collection website in sizes from 2 to 12.
$39.50

#3. Another great wardrobe option for little citizens is the Queensland Tank Dress in "Glaze Blue." This apparel item is especially gorgeous when paired with the Old Soles Mantra Sandal. This style is certainly comfortably, and easily casual or dressy depending on what it is worn with.
$35.50





#4. Vibrant and artsy, we think the Tentacles Photoreel Tee would pass the "cool test" for most boys of all ages. After all, how can you argue with a t-shirt depicting a creature from the deep that is funky looking and slimy? You reel-y can't lose! This unique tee is exclusively available in "Olympia" in sizes 2 up to 12.
$26.50





#5. For the Forest Dragon Graphic Tee you'll find lovely shades of blues and greens married with white to comprise a lizard on this brown tee. An option neutral enough to carry you well into the warmer days of the autumn season. Available in "Tortoise," in sizes from 2 to 12, this tee may become a favorite for both you and your child when coupled with the Appaman Houston Fedora---a truly irresistible combination!
$22.50



#6. One pattern and two solid pairs of shorts come together in a package deal for this set, a practical choice for the blazing heat in the summer months ahead. We'd place the This Way to Wonga Set under the category of wardrobe staples. The striped pair are an excellent option for the Tentacles Photoreel Tee above, and the blue and light grey pairs will go with nearly everything else! The set, available in "Multi," comes in sizes as small as 3 and as large as 12.
$79.00

#7. We've seen the forecast for this summer---and it's filled with rompers! It's hard to argue with the practicality of this all-in-one type of style which you'll find in sizes ranging from 0-3 months to 18-24 months. The littlest citizens are well-suited to the most sweet and charming pieces, and the Locals Only Two-Tone Romper in "Soft Peach" certainly fits the bill! This styles offers black and white stripes and are put together with a butterfly pattern for a result that's quite delightful.
$29.50

#8. The best of both worlds from the Coral Fern Smocked Romper and Bloomfield Tiered Sundress is none other than the Botanical Baby Outfit in "Chalk." Too precious for words, we think the best description for this set might be "a little bit of the old and a little bit of the new." The shorts are too cute and could almost be a retro piece, and it's absolute perfection with the colorful pattern of the top. This combo available in 3-6 months up to 4T is photo-ready!
$39.50

#9. Adorable romper overload continues with the Dicksonia Antarctica Tank Rmpr. We can picture an infant or toddler sporting this cute piece with a pair of brown sandals at the beach on a warm summer day. Might we suggest the Livie & Luca Captain Sandals? It's a match made in heaven! You will find this boys' romper in "Olive Drab" on Tea Collection in small sizes starting with 0-3 months and up to 18-24 months.
$24.50




#10. To boldly go where no tee has gone before! Who wouldn't adore the Apollo Bay Pocket Baby Tee? This style is for infants starting at 3-6 months and up to toddlers wearing 4T. Four colors are featured on this color block tee, making it perfect to pair with just about any pants or shorts. Need we say more? Also available in "Paprika" and "Royal."
$19.50

Get Fit and Stay Fit with U by Kotex Fitness

Me and fitness go way back to the year I started my period. Like with most---if not all---teenage girls, it was an awkward and confusing time evolving from "girl" to "woman." One of my favorite bodily changes to adjust to? My metabolism. Unforeseen and unwelcome, I quickly bloated and gained until I went from a size 6 to a size 14---all in one year. I wasn't so crazy about this "period" stuff. Least of all because it was gross. My self-esteem hit an all-time low, only exacerbated by being the victim of bullying about my weight at the hands of my very own family. Well, you know what they say about the bottom. There's no way but up. So up, I went. Over the following 6 months, I didn't lose a lot of weight. But I worked out consistently, and slimmed down until I was a "lean and mean" size 6, and so much healthier than when I had been that size before.

As a mother, fitness and I started having relationship problems again (that has a tendency to happen, doesn't it?). We weren't communicating anymore, and we weren't seeing each other either. We decided it was best to see other people, at least for the time being. So fitness moved on to see other people---a lot of other people, after all, my local gym is always occupied during operating hours. And me? Well, I became close with a newborn (and inevitably an infant, and toddler) who had all kinds of fun stuff coming out of all of his orifices. Good times.

Months came and went... Who am I kidding? Years. Years came and went... and before I knew it, I had arrived at a point where my son was wanting more time with his dad, and this looked like the perfect opportunity for me and fitness to start seeing each other again (wink wink!). It's always humbling to return back to the gym only to discover that you don't just pick up where you left off... but instead feel like you're starting at the beginning all over again. Thank goodness for muscle memory, at least. With persistence, I got back to where I had left off, and in much less time than when I first started working out regularly. Now, as a mother of two, I find the most important thing to staying fit as a parent is consistency. And it takes products I can rely on to perform optimally to make me comfortable and help me stay fit. That's why, when it's that time of the month, I use U by Kotex Fitness. For my solo workouts using the treadmill and weight machines, and for my favorite zumba classes, the reliable performance of the U by Kotex Fitness tampons and pantyliners keep me going---always.
