Our airstream is our second home, and just like our home, we want luxury and products that are going to hold up. There is nothing worse than having to replace an item because of the quality. Our list includes innovative ways in which we have made our 25ft International FBQ work for our family of five!

Here's a polished version that keeps your powerful advocacy message: MilSpouse Owned When's the last time you said "thank you for your service" to a member of our armed forces? Probably on Veterans Day, or maybe when you saw them in uniform. But what you might not know is that there's a force of good behind many of our active duty service members and veterans—a strong and antifragile force that provides protection, a safe environment, and what many call "home." That force is the military spouse. They handle it all while balancing the demands of solo parenting, holding down the fort while simultaneously building the fort out of boxes as they move. They also make up alarming statistics: a 24% unemployment rate. Finding a career—much less a job—while moving and dealing with all the challenges of military spouse life often isn't possible. But what IS possible is a small business. Something that can be picked up and moved. Something that can bring income back into the household after years of education and derailed career dreams. Often, these businesses are also giving back to organizations like nonprofits and the community—not only to highlight the challenges but, more importantly, to focus on the positive attributes of this beautiful military life. Shopping from these businesses goes further than a quick "thank you for your service." It allows you to put your money where your mouth is. And chances are, that same military spouse-run business is boots on the ground, ensuring that everyone feels validated during unprecedented times when so many are silenced. Shop small. Shop milspouse.

Punch Gunk is for EVERYONE! This isn't just for athletes recovering from tough workouts. It's for the peri-menopausal woman who went too hard on the Peloton, for the 50-year-old who shoveled snow for the first time in 20 years, for anyone dealing with sore, tired muscles. The cream is amazing—not greasy, doesn't stain, has a light scent, and is packed with action-punched ingredients. But the bath soaks? They're the absolute best. There's no better way to recover and drift off to sleep than soaking in a Punch Gunk bath. The ingredients are top-quality, and this product is unlike anything I've found on the shelf at big box stores. You can support a small business by ordering directly through their website or checking Amazon. Just try it—then leave a review, because small businesses like this, where good ethics and good people are behind the scenes, are what makes our country strong.
