Today, March 8th, is International Women’s Day — a global event honoring the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. And while there are plenty of ways to celebrate these achievements, shopping deals at women-owned businesses seems like a great way to put your money where your mouth is.
Women who own businesses are worth celebrating every day, but today we’re highlighting some of our top picks — starting with one founder in particular.
Elizabeth Grojean, Founder and CEO of sleep and wellness company Baloo Living, is on a mission to help people reconnect mind and body for a deeper sense of peace. She followed a structured path, graduating with a marketing degree, then working for a startup. But it wasn’t until she used her savings to take a sabbatical in Bali that she found the stillness and connection that inspired the launch of her company. Baloo Living is now in its third year and continuing to grow through product and brand expansion. They’re even currently in the process of phasing out all plastic in packaging to focus strictly on eco-friendly materials.
One of Baloo Living’s flagship products is the weighted blanket. This mini-sized one (Mashable’s Best Gift Pick for a weighted blanket) is 40 x 60 inches and weighs 9 pounds, making it a cozy throw for lounging on the couch or a snuggly addition to a child’s bed. It’s designed to simulate the feeling of a warm hug and naturally help calm you down. Usually $149, you can save 15% and support Grojean and her business by picking one up for $126 in your choice of three colors.
Here are some deals from other woman-owned brands you can snag to celebrate International Women’s Day.
