A much-loved Brooks running shoe is the Ghost model. The model offers a cushioned sole for soft landings when road running but has less overall arch and alignment support than the Adrenaline model.

One thing we love about Brooks running shoes is that the brand offers half sizes and different width options, making it easier to find a better-fitting shoe.

If you’re looking for the ideal summer bag, Kayu could be for you. Their bags are made from natural straw that comes from sustainable sources, including seagrass.

Unlike mass-produced ‘straw’ bags (which are often made of plastic), Kayu’s bags will eventually biodegrade and go back into the natural ecosystem.

For the wood, they only use wood that’s left as a by-product of the furniture industry, helping eliminate waste and give those materials a new life.

Many of their bags are finished with shell, and the pearls and shells they use are often by-products of the food industry, again, eliminating unnecessary waste.

The bags are slow-made, often taking days for each bag to be handcrafted. Artisans in Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia create Kayu bags using traditional methods and are all paid a living wage.
