**Katavento: A Global Business with a Heart**

This company is one of my biggest passions, and it's something that we've talked about ourselves that we dream of doing. We want to support global businesses and bring items like this to the US and be able to support these businesses that are in other countries where they may not have a voice. I think that's absolutely incredible.

The product itself is incredible. You can tell it's handmade, the quality guys is beautiful, and the material is incredible. Not only that, but for every time you buy a blanket, they also give one to a child in need. I love that so much. I know I love stuff like that because we're already buying stuff that makes a difference. Why not buy stuff that actually makes a difference? And you just think of a child who has an extra blanket that wouldn't have one. I love that more than anything in the world.

**Giving Back**

This is pretty amazing. I know that you guys are going to want to grab a spot in the drawing for these items alone, but the last item that we're giving away is two hours of virtual design services with none other than Valentina. We have been enjoying these virtual services with you guys so much and I thought this would be really fun. It's actually kind of a gift to myself. It's selfish. But I love it.

I also want to say that if I'm around, I try to drop in and just say hi. People always say "gosh, you're so much better looking than we thought." That's usually the response. But I listened to her talk, and it's just so much fun. Like, I want to schedule one of these because you guys laugh so much and have such a great time together. It sounds like a blast.

the comment section because this i i oh my gosh this candle smells so good if you're the lucky winner you will get the half used one from us right you will get your own set of four from them i got the north woods lodge these are all hand poured um soy candles i think this is my favorite yeah yeah i knew you would like that one that's why i said that one oh yeah like this is another one in my office this one i have to be careful like oh i was literally just burning this like that's how much i love these candles we have enjoyed them so much i've seen i've kept the other two so you could see them they look like when we hadn't been using them i've been very patient um but this one is wild barefoot and free describes me oh my absolutely darling absolutely i love a candle that transports you to another place and these remind you of that sort of that travel and oh adventure it's what we just love so much and um the fourth one that i picked out was the peony fields and um i think she'll let you pick which four that you want i smell that oh it smells so good these are amazing and they really burn slow and i hope that you guys those of you that have already ordered them i hope that you're enjoying them as much as we are i'm definitely gonna be ordering more because these are amazing the great thing about them is that 10 of every purchase goes to an animal foundation so not only your house smells great but you also can help change the world we love that i know it's really cool we love that our next shop you may already recognize if you've been watching our videos because i've been enjoying these amazing cushions on our bed because i wanted something that was really modern i i wanted something that had just a just a very sleek look to it very clean lined and i wanted the luxury of velvet and these are so perfect now i have showed restraint and not used the gray ones yet but that day has now finally come to an end woohoo i get to use the gray now these are but they are amazing so you can order these covers so it's really inexpensive to get the covers and then you can put your own fillers in them so you get to choose what you want to fill them with i filled mine with down um but i love that you have this invisible zipper here and the seams are surged and they're really really good quality and i just love that they're beautiful as well so these are truly amazing sitting here like yeah to the touch so soft they're so soft yeah and i just i like you guys know i'm in the scandinavian modern thing which apparently is like permanent because i can't seem to like stop obsessing over it so i just i need things like this that just have that clean line to them but still give you that feeling of luxury all right so my biggest question is now which room do these go in yeah so these are gonna go back to the bedroom but now i've got the gray ones to put out like these are amazing i wish they made pajamas that feel like they're rubbing them stop rubbing the pillow jack you guys make shirts in this fabric it's just what we need wear this all day long stop petting the pillowcases okay so you're not going to get these they're going to send you your own that have not been manhandled literally but they are amazing and i know that you'll absolutely love them and these are from burke home remember check down below be sure to check these guys out check their websites and their instagram our next item is absolutely breathtaking originally i thought i was gonna put this into an art wall with multiple things and now that it has arrived it's gonna have to have a very special place because this artwork just blows my mind it is absolutely gorgeous you can feel the sense of the sky and you just you feel something when you look at this and i'm just blown away johnny mckee's artwork is truly just mind-blowing and he has a fascination with anything in the sky so clouds stars uh just a fascination with that and that that is very much his medium is or is his subject matter is the clouds the sky yeah and this is just breathtaking it really is i really like this piece i really do i really do too i think you you just i think that you just really sense the clouds and you sense the weather and you just feel like you can touch a cloud and when i saw this for the first time it reminded me of that time that we were driving in the clouds when we were in switzerland yeah we were up so high in the mountains that we were literally in the clouds and ever since then i've been fascinated with that and so i just this piece in particular just really speaks to me and he has many other works that you can look at and choose something that you'll love but i he's giving away one of his pieces that's so cool that's amazing isn't it yeah if you remember we've talked about katavento before a few weeks ago we were showing you their pillows and their blankets and they make just these incredible things these are still made in south america so the girls that run this company wanted to be able to support their their family and their country from back home so they live in la now and they created this company and this is one of my biggest passions it's something that we've talked about ourselves that we dream of doing and so that's why we are particularly partial to katavento because that's our dream is to be able to support global businesses and bring items like this to the us and to be able to support these businesses that are in other countries where they may not have a voice and i think that that is absolutely incredible the product itself like this is incredible you can tell it is it's handmade the quality guys is beautiful and the material is incredible and not only that but for everyone that you buy they also give one in partnership with las omas for every time you buy a blanket they give a blanket to a child in need i love that so much i know i love stuff like that because we're already to buy stuff yeah why not buy stuff that actually makes a difference yeah and you just think there's going to be a child that has an extra blanket that wouldn't have one i love that more than anything in the world so that's pretty amazing i know that you guys are going to want to grab a spot in the drawing just for these items alone but the last item that we're going to be giving away is two hours so it'll be one hour to two different people um this will be virtual design services with none other than mwah we have been enjoying these virtual services with you guys so much and i thought this would be really fun i get to meet a couple of you this way and we get to spend some time together it's actually kind of a gift to myself it's actually really it is selfish i love it it's 100 selfish uh you know someone else is giving blankets to kids in need and i'm spending time with you guys so i heard her i always by the way if i'm around i try to drop in and just say hi uh and people always say gosh you're so much better looking than we thought uh that's usually the response but i listened to her talk and it's just it's so much fun like i want to schedule one of these because you guys laugh so much and have such a great time together it sounds like a blast i love it because when i get on there i'm like oh my gosh there's people like me out there like you guys this is so cool buying kindred spirits so i i hope
