You are... [Feel-Good Revolution!] MUST SEE!!!

For the past few months, I've stalked followed Shop Compliment on Instagram. I stumbled upon one of their images, quickly pressed the "follow" button, and soon became addicted to clicking through each and every photo. Shop Compliment is a jewelry line of rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings and every item has a personal message attached to the box; a personal stamped message, with some examples being: "You are my soul mate friend," "You are appreciated," or "You inspire me to be brave." Once you select and purchase your jewelry item, you can decide on what you want your personalized compliment to be! Not only was I blown away at how unique this was, but I was reminded of how Amanda and I discussed these powerful statements a few months ago when discussing a possible Etsy shop endeavor. One statement can say so much and truly have an impact on that person's day.

Shop Compliment's messages align with what Amanda and I want to embrace (and try to embrace here at 730 Moments to Share blog)... spreading uplifting messages, building each other up, helping people refill their buckets.

I fell deeply in love with Shop Compliment when I learned that the founder, Melissa, was a teacher. She recently took a leave from her job to pursue Shop Compliment further. She often mentions teachers and teaching on her Instagram and I LOVE how she worded the importance of keeping your spirit happy and finding other ways to fill your bucket:

But like any educator knows, the time and energy teachers put in to their work is enormous and exhausting, and it's super important to find ways of keeping your spirit happy, or as I like to call it, "your love bucket filled." When we were little, my mom taught my siblings and me that every one of us has a little bucket in our soul that needs pretty active attention.  When we are feeling down, our buckets are empty and it's impossible to be loving to others with empty buckets.  And so we must find things to keep our love buckets full for ourselves.  For me, it's creating--be it writing, dancing, singing, cooking, painting, or making jewelry.  But I'm also able to refill my bucket by filling someone else's.  When we notice the people around us could use a boost, it's our job to do something kind to refill their bucket.  Something to uplift. Something to build them up. One easy way is to give them a sincere compliment.  

She posted the photo below the other day on Instagram, with this caption:  This pink gratitude necklace is headed out of here today for a teacher appreciation gift. And it's got me reflecting on my time as a classroom teacher. Teaching. It's the hardest/most rewarding job in the world and it fills my heart to see parents thanking the teachers in their students' lives who are making a difference. // this compliment also makes me reflect on just how blessed I've been in the last year. I owe much of that blessing to the love and support of family, friends, customers, strangers, this IG community and beyond. Thank you for loving me and helping me grow! 

Shop Compliment welcomes their customers to the "feel-good revolution" when they enter their website. Melissa often uses the hashtag #feelgood on Instagram photos, too. She commented the other day about "what a blessing it is to work in an environment where so many loving words, kind thoughts, and encouraging sentiments are shared." Imagine living and breathing that daily? How amazing!

Shop Compliment's Instagram is filled with positive messages daily. They're the best reminders! 

I hope you follow Shop Compliment on Instagram. Please consider checking out their website, too! What a great idea for bride's and gifts for your maids!
