Introducing Achy Smile Shop

Achy Smile Shop

Introducing the new Achy Smile Shop!!! I’m super excited to show off our new tees, mugs, gifts and more! Hours upon hours have been spent creating these products for the Chronic Illness community. I hope you enjoy what you find and know that each purchase you make helps a non-profit continue their mission. There is so much more to come over the next few months. 

Mission & Goals

My goal is to create impactful designs that will highlight diseases needing more advocacy and support than what you see today. To assist these efforts, Achy Smile will donate 10% of all profits to a different non-profit each month. 

How Does the Community Choose a Non-Profit of the Month?

On the 25th of each month, Achy Smile will run a poll for 24 hours on Instagram, allowing followers to chose between two non-profit organizations. The winning organization will receive 10% of all profits for the next month. YOU will be deciding what disease or illness is highlighted for the month. The blog on the Achy Smile Shop site will also highlight the organization and their mission.

Behind the Design

There are several collections you will find on Achy Smile Shop!!! Each design was chosen or designed by me 😉 I have one collection in the mix that is shown, but not created – Migraine Warrior. I am still in the design process for my Warrior. Have ideas? Let me know in the comments!

In the following paragraphs, read about each collection and what it means to me. By purchasing an item from Achy Smile Shop, you are showing your support for your own cause or those of a loved one.

Chronic Illness Hero & Shero

Definition of a Hero: a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.

Hero’s, wear your battle scars proudly. It’s a tough life living with Chronic Illness, we wake up every day with a life not like most people. People who do not understand what waking up means every morning. Wear your cape proudly!

Chronic Illness Shero

Definition of a Shero: a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.

Just like Hero’s, Shero’s, wear your battle scars proudly. It’s a tough life living with Chronic Illness, we wake up every day with a life, not like most people. People who do not understand what waking up means every morning. Wear your cape proudly!

Spoonie

How many shirts and jackets do you see out there with three little spoons on the front? I’m sure, not a lot. Most people do not know about the Spoon Theory, written by Christine Miserandino. Here’s the perfect chance to answer the question on everyone’s face when they see you sporting our Spoonie Collection!

Tasteless

I’m not perfect. I have moments when I’m feeling my worst that are plain…tasteless. I’m okay with that, it’s a moment in time and I move past it. In the meantime, though, I’m usually in Bitch Mode…

Achy Smile

Show your Achy Smile and wear our gear to support Spoonies everywhere! What’s an Achy Smile? Our smile when we’re smiling through the pain.
