But with countless volunteer programs, it’s easy to get lost. Recently, we’ve come across the for-profit tech company and online platform, GivingWay. According to the company, they aim to connect volunteers with non-profits on the ground for free, so non-profits can clearly communicate their wishes, and volunteers can direct their contribution where most needed.

The company receives a commission on transactions that run through their platform, such as volunteering fees paid to nonprofits and donations made through their system, so hopefully—everyone wins.

“We believe great businesses can drive impact on a very wide scale, and we are working hard to achieve this,” write GivingWay on their website. “Alright, it’s not just about hard work… we also happen to LOVE what we do,” they note.

And with restrictions of travel, their platform also provides other options such as volunteering from home, donating funds or setting up a fundraising page in ways that maximize efficiency and impact. Follow them on social media, or head to their website for more info.

On her Instagram account, you can find pleasing illustrations with pastel backgrounds, stylish clothes, and most importantly — empowering messages of self-love and acceptance.

“I will give you a few tips to love yourself a bit more,” says the Dutch artist on her Instagram. “It’s not easy and it takes time, but that’s okay. […]  there are tips to make it easier for yourself.” 

Some of van de Wouw’s tips include: “It’s okay to make mistakes,” “Rest when you need to,” “Yeah, you’re cute, but are you good for my mental health?” and “All bodies deserve to be treated with respect because they hold human beings. That’s it. No exceptions.”

“I think it’s important we learn to love ourselves a bit more, and because of society it’s not always easy,” explains van de Wouw. “I myself follow lots of accounts just like mine and it makes me really happy, so that’s why I started one as well.”

Madison Bright from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has just the thing to help you remember to stop and smell the roses. Under her online-shop name, Maddie and the Moon Illustration, she creates beautiful, earthy, watercolored-cards with messages of positivity and self-empowerment, as well as reminders and instructions for a healthy and happy lifestyle. 

Among Bright’s cards you can find instructions on what goes in the compost, yoga routines for a relaxed start of the day, appetizing vegan recipes, and invaluable reminders of your self-worth, such as “You deserve to take up space” and “Just say thank you.”

The added illustrations of plants, vegetables, leaves, and cute household items are enough to uplift anyone’s spirit all by themselves; together with the wholesome content, they’re a winning combination.

Just imagine coming across a strategically-placed card like the ones below when you’re having a horrible, terrible day. What better way is there to remind yourself to take a deep breath and be thankful for all that you have?
