TNK Nonprofit Pick
I like to start these gift guides off with a charity or nonprofit that could use your support this holiday season (and all year round, TBH). A tuition-free private school for children experiencing homelessness, the Boyce L. Ansley School in Atlanta deserves that support. I first heard about this school from a friend of mine, and its mission to decrease the opportunity gap for kids experiencing homelessness struck a chord. This school provides a stable, safe space for children to learn, helping them stay on track and keep up with reading and math skills, despite their circumstances.
The nonprofit private school is free for students to attend, as the school provides uniforms, books, school supplies and more for enrolled children. The goal of the school is eventually to offer PreK through 8th grade, and your donation will help them get there.

TNK Top Picks
I’m psyched about the latest addition to my neck pain alleviation repertoire: Prima’s R+R Stick. It has menthol for a super cooling effect, helps address discomfort with the addition of arnica and camphor and also has 1500mg of organic CBD to help with recovery.
Gotta order a few more because when I have it in my tennis bag, I need it by my nightstand and when it’s in my bathroom, I need it in my office. Youknowwhatimean?!

Lovetrust Avery Hooded Sweatshirt
Made from organic pima cotton, this hoodie is the perfect travel companion for its versatility. Jumping on a red-eye? You’ll be comfy and chic at the same time. Heading to tour the Vatican? This hoodie has you covered, literally. Treating yourself to a fancy dinner? Add a slinky skirt or wide-leg trousers and you’re in like Flynn.
Love the soft texture of this, how it feels and the on-trend tight sleeves. Can’t wait to take it on my next trip.

November 9, 2022The order for the links in the over $50 section doesn’t match up with the order of the photos, which is pretty confusing.
