Be More Than Just Pretty With Uncommon Goods

1:39 PM


It’s not enough for me anymore that it’s a beautiful item or a beautiful piece.
I want to know that it’s not leaving a negative mark.
-Emma Watson



It's more important to be a person of substance and purpose and not just be a pretty face. Agree?

If there is a chance to pick between a fashionable item only and one that is aesthetic with value, it's a no-brainer which one you'll opt for.

From dresses to accessories, there’s a wide range of gorgeous items available in the market today. Thanks to the internet, we can even purchase them without leaving the house.

But is it enough for you to own just a pretty piece? Wouldn’t it be nice to buy something that’s more than just beautiful to look at?


Be More than Just Pretty with Uncommon Goods



Pretty for a cause
It's ideal to buy a stylish jewelry and give back to the community at the same time. Thanks to Uncommon Goods, it is now possible to do so.

An independently-owned business, Uncommon Goods supports causes that impact the world in a positive way. With every purchase you make, they donate $1 to the non-profit of your choice.

They started their Better to Give program 12 years ago, and have since donated over $1 million to charities around the world.

Uncommon Goods is a Certified B Corporation. Meaning, they met the rigorous standard on a wide range of issues, including wage levels, environmental impact, and giving back to the community.



Handmade Jewelries
Uncommon Goods have handmade jewelries that have intricate details and elegant designs. They’re perfect for gift giving or as addition to your collection. Since it's handmade, you can be sure that it’s been given the best attention and utmost care.

They even have a short bio of the maker for each piece so you can get to know the beautiful person behind the exquisite art you're buying.

Minimalist Design
They have elegant, edgy, colorful, fun, and eclectic designs to cater each individual’s preference.

What I personally like is their minimalist design. Leonardo da Vinci said it best: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

Emma Watson wore a dress made of trash in the red carpet. She said and I quote, “It’s not enough for me anymore that it’s a beautiful item or a beautiful piece. I want to know that it’s not leaving a negative mark.”

I couldn’t agree more.

What do you usually look for before buying? Is it enough for you that it's just pretty? Be more than just pretty with Uncommon Goods.

  56. gorgeous pieces and I love buying stuff that has benefits others beyond just the sale of the product.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Great post, I always try to check where the product was made - if it's a beauty product I check if it's vegan/not tested on animals, if clothes - made in a place when people get enough money. Toms has similar program - they give a pair of shoes to kids, I'm not sure how does it work now, but it was very popular couple years ago.
