Beautiful Products Deliver Words of Faith and Encouragement

Colleen Geery was inspired to start The Brightside Box by the endless support she received while undergoing treatment for cancer, including meals, house cleaning, shopping, taking care of her son, taking her to and from chemo and other appointments. All this gave Colleen the gift of being able to take time for herself to heal and recover. 

She set out to pay that comfort and care forward to others. Originally, she curated items similar to those she found helpful during her treatments, pashmina wraps to cover chilly shoulders, cozy socks, calming tea and a gratitude journal, to name a few. She has since expanded to include many other offerings, including curated sets, build your own box and individual gifts. Colleen only sources product that are healthy and safe. thebrightsidebox.com 

Brittin Karaffa looks to her Christian faith for her inspiration. Her House of Grace jewelry is designed with purpose and inspired by scripture with the hope that we are reminded of God’s goodness, grace, and truth.  

Pieces are designed to encourage the women wearing them while sharing God's love. The jewelry is stylish and modern, with fuss-free designs made for layering and intended to be personal by layering necklaces, stacking rings and bracelets, or a carefully curated ear with a combo of your favorite earrings. houseofgracejewelry.com or @houseofgracejewelry
