Rastaclat a Bracelet that Spreads Kindness

1 Comment

As part of Random Acts of Kindness Week #RAKweek2017 from 2/12 – 2/18 – I wanted to share some of the kindness Rastaclat is spreading.

I’ve blogged about Rastaclat several times including their support of Tilly’s Life Center.

They also support Breast Cancer Awareness with Classic & Miniclat:  Awareness bracelets.

Yes, they donate 100% of the proceeds to the American Cancer Association.  And for the Classic: Futures

they donate 100% of the proceeds to the Boys & Girls Clubs serving youth in Carson, South Angeles, & Watts.

Why are they so generous with their support?  Because they are all about kindness.

RASTACLAT IS A SYMBOL OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,
DOING GOOD FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS.
WE BELIEVE THAT POSITIVE ACTION
CAN CHANGE LIVES, INSPIRE CONFIDENCE,
AND UNITE US AS HUMAN BEINGS.

#SEEKTHEPOSITIVE

When you’re living righteously and sharing positivity you just do kind things.  I also believe that a Rastaclat bracelet can remind you to stay positive.

I look pretty positive in the picture above, but it was far from a story book night.  I was lucky to have the reminder on my wrist that in the end it’s always my choice to be positive.

Hoping you all choose to do an act of random kindness a day & if you need a reminder wear a Rastaclat bracelet.  Imagine how beautiful the world would be if we all chose kindness and to #SEEKthePOSITIVE!

 

Arbor Girl Sharing Skateboarding

Love this picture that Lisa shares from when she taught refugees in The Netherlands how to have fun skating.  She says her friend was shy but after a few tries she liked it!  Photo by Rosanne.

Lisa’s an Arbor Girl so it makes perfect sense that she chooses adventure!

Where are you sharing skating and choosing adventure?  More girls skate when they see girls skating.  Sharing & encouraging is stylish on & off the board so hope you share your pictures and stories soon.

Lisa sharing skateboarding is an act of kindness – so it’s the perfect post to start #RAKweek2017 to find out more about how the smallest act of kindness can make the world a better place check out

 

Tiffany Says Commit to a Skateboard

2 Comments

If Tiffany looks happy, it’s because she is!

It’s easier to enjoy a sport when you get yourself your own equipment. ?

Skateboarding helps a ton with balance, precision, with air awareness… it gets your senses to be spot-on and it’s also a great way to take my mind off things

I’m happy that Tiffany got a board at Curbside Skate Shop in New Jersey.  Plus I agree with her that skateboarding is all about the balance.  If you don’t have balance when you start skating, you will if you keep skating!

I also love Tiffany’s bio

Don’t let anyone or anything hold you back from reaching your own true happiness. Smile and keep moving forward. ?

We all have haters.  We can choose to listen to the haters & give up or just know our true self & skate on.

More girls skate when they see girls skating and hear all the reasons skating can be fun – so hope you share your stories soon!

All Girls Skate Camp at Nyjah Huston’s Skatepark

I’ve blogged about Shreducate Academy a Costa Mesa skateboarding school several times and had the pleasure to help at one of their All Girl Skate Camps at Volcom Park.
Below – back in August 2015
 
They have another All Girls Skate Camp that they are hosting with the Pink Helmet Posse coming up on Saturday 2/25/16 so I sat down with founder Joey to find out more.
 *****
  • The next All Girl Skate Camp is at Nyjah Huston’s Skatepark.  Isn’t that a private park?  

Joey:  Yes Nyjah Huston’s Indoor Skatepark is an amazing 10,000 sq foot private facility and we will have full access to the park to allow all the girl to skate around and have a blast and to progress their skills!

  • The camp runs from 10am – 1pm what can the girls attending expect?  Will they be grouped by level with an instructor?  Are absolute beginners welcome too?  If so will there be boards for them to try it out or do participants have to bring their own boards and safety gear?  Is their a recommended age?

Joey:  All the girls attending the skate camp will be able meet and greet some of the girls from Pink Helmet Posse. They will preform a fun little demo for the girls to show off their fun tricks and get the girls excited to skate too!

We are expecting mostly beginners and some intermediate skaters for the camp. Shreducate Staff will be there to cater to all skill levels and abilities.

Pink Helmet Posse will be on site with all merchandise for sale if anyone need boards, pads, helmets or t-shirts. We are accepting all ages for this skate camp and we really want to get all the girls together pushing each other to have as much fun as possible!

  • I heard space is limited.  How many girls can come?  Do you still have spaces?  What happens if someone wants to “skate in” on the day of?

Yes for this camp we are limiting it to only 30 girls. We are going to keep the instructor/skater ration 5 to 1 so we will be able to group them up in different skill levels.

We currently have 15 spots left and we are asking everyone to email me to save a spot so we keep the ratio manageable. If you would like to reserve your spot please send an email to  [email protected]

Thanks Joey for organizing this event & all you do to inspire girls to skateboard.  More girls skate when they see girls having fun skating and get encouragement.  Hope you share your pictures/videos & stories soon.

Accidents Happen in Skateboarding

Skateboarding is a sport.  In any sport accidents can happen.  In life accidents can happen.  I’m glad to see that Morgan responded to her first skating accident by just getting up and skating some more.

I love her style on & off the board – especially her hair!  And I need the “later hater” shirt in my life.

Morgan’s keeping it stylish in South Carolina.  Where are you skateboarding?  More girls skate when they see stylish girls having fun skating so I hope you share soon!

More Girls Skateboard When They Receive Encouragement

I love Lin’s smile in this photo!

So glad that Ryzn shared it.  More girls skate when they see girls having fun skating and get encouragement.

No matter what your goal is surround yourself with people who encourage you to be your best.

Feelings are “contagious” so surround yourself with those who inspire and encourage you to keep it stylish on & off the board.

Lnr Viola Loves Skateboarding & Singing

Lnr Viola shares this skateboarding video.  Love how she keeps it stylish & warm while skating.

In addition to loving skateboarding, she loves soul, funk, reggae and rock.   She’s the owner of LNRmusicmanagement Festival & a singing teacher.  She definitely inspires girls to follow their passions and stay true to their style.

More girls skateboard when they see stylish girls skateboarding.  And I love when they also share their other talents.  #girlscanskate and do so much more!

Where & how are you keeping it stylish on & off the board?  Hope you share soon.
