Bangs Shoes

“Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime.” That idea is at the very center of the Bangs business model… but what does any of it have to do with shoes?
It’s simple: these shoes are all about charity. “Bang” is the Chinese word for “help” and each of Bangs beautiful (and completely vegan) styles of canvas and vulcanized rubber sneakers is associated with a specific charitable operation that is hard at work making the world a better place. 20% of all Bangs’ net proceeds go directly to whichever cause the shoe you purchase was inspired by. Great international organizations like CHOICE Humanitarian, a nonprofit that helps underprivileged and struggling communities become self-reliant, and stateside charities like the Springboard Collaborative which helps high-risk students continue their education in the summer months, improving their grades and scholastic achievements overall.
And Bangs Shoes aren’t just a great way to give back, they are really great shoes too (and very affordable). Relaxed, comfortable and ready to take you from one season to the next, these sneakers will turn heads and make you feel great while you do it. You can change the world…. one step at a time.
So what do you think? Does the idea of giving back a portion of their proceeds make you more interested in trying new brands? Or do you usually stick to form and function when it comes to footwear? Comment below or find us on Facebook via the link provided at the bottom of the page. We’d love to hear from you.
USB Powered Salt Lamps

Sold all over the world as both powerful cure-alls and as enchanting ambient lighting, salt lamps have never been more popular than they are right now. Whether you believe in their healing powers or not, heating salt has been a mainstay of “alternative” and traditional medicine for centuries. Himalayan rock salt is revered throughout the world for its beauty and for its curative properties and is widely considered to be the benchmark in quality and potency. Much like an ionic air filter, salt lamps give off negative ions when heated which in turn become tiny dust collectors, purifying the air around you of pollutants and bacteria and ridding the environment of toxins from things like cigarette smoke.
Nest always has a wide variety of salt lamps both electric and candle powered but now, new for 2014, we are proud to introduce the USB powered LED salt sphere lamp. Sourced from fair trade white Himalayan rock salt, these spheres glow bright white with the help of a tiny LED bulb when plugged into your computer or any other charged USB port (your phone charger works particularly well).
Giving off the same negative ions that will help clean your air, these salt lamps will also help to balance the electro-magnetic fields that exist all around us as a result of normal computer, cell phone and electrical device use; a benefit more and more experts insist is integral to long-lasting physical health and mental well-being.
So what do you think? Have you tried a salt lamp in your home or office? Have you always wondered why so many people swear by them? Leave a message down below or contact us on Facebook via the link provided. We’d love to hear your thoughts, comments and testimonials.

Gluten Free at the Holidays

Being gluten-free during the holidays can be difficult! There are so many delicious wheat based treats: cookies, snacks, pies, cakes, gingerbread men – it can be a true test of one’s holiday resolve to stay on the GF wagon! I’ve been gluten free for about 4 years now, and the holidays are the toughest time to keep yourself from jumping ship altogether.
This holiday season, treat the gluten-free folks in your life to something special and show them how much you really care! Here at Nest, we always have a great selection of gluten free cookbooks, but this time of year it’s all about winter favorites like Small Plates & Sweet Treats, Gluten Free Comfort Food, and The Gluten Free Baker. These beautifully illustrated and well researched books are filled to the brim with delectable treats and helpful hints that will keep anyone, gluten free or not, licking their lips until New Year ’s Day! We even have a great selection of cookbooks for the gluten-free vegans and the gluten and sugar free folks.
It may not be easy, but with great treats like these to look forward to, I know that this holiday will be a delicious one! Happy Holidays!
