There was no other way to start Black History Month than to feature Amanda Gorman, (@amandascgorman), the 22-year-old poet from LA who stole our hearts on inauguration day and has claimed her spot as a historical figure of the 21st century. So who is she, you ask? Here are 5 things you need to know about this fierce woman of the word: Amanda graduated from Harvard University in 2020, cum laude, with a degree in sociology.... At 7 years old she wrote her first poem about how alone she felt at school. She, like many others, is obsessed with Harry Potter (She's a Gryffindor). She's a twin! Her twin sister Gabrielle is also an activist, graduated from UCLA and she's passionate about filmmaking. She's the Founder and Executive Director of One Pen One Page, which promotes literacy among youth through creative writing. Amanda has also published 2 books: "The One Whom Food is Not Enough," and "The Hill We Climb: Poems," with 2 more that will be released in September 2021: "The Hill We Climb: An Inaugural Poem for the Country," and "Change Sings: A Children's Anthem."

Our #SmartGivesBack initiative to support small business owners throughout the US and Canada has officially begun with OC Declutter, a home and office organization company based in Orange County, California, and run by founders Heather and Taylor. We interviewed them on our blog to give an inside perspective of navigating a new business and keeping it successful through a pandemic. We had the pleasure of providing tools, tool bags, organizing equipment, branded tees, and branded masks for OC Declutter, with the hope that eliminating these costs will allow them more time to focus on new business.

5 Tips To Getting Better Sleep We've heard all about better eating habits and exercise in your New Year's Resolutions but research has shown that good sleep is just as important! Optimize Your Bedroom: Consider your lighting and noise level. Black-out curtains and white noise machines have been purchased in record numbers this year.... Clear Your Mind: Wind down by reading a book or practicing 5-minute meditations before bed. There are easy guided meditations playlists on Spotify and Pandora. Avoid Napping: It's easier than ever to head back to bed in the middle of the day but instead do some stretches or take a walk to reduce any fatigue. Rate Your Comfort: Make sure your sheets, mattress, and pillows are ideal for your sleeping habits. Consider making some changes if you haven't updated your sleep system in a while. Make a Routine: Before bed, set yourself up for success by creating a routine and sticking to it. Set a reminder 30 minutes before you'd like to be asleep to start winding down, put your devices away, and turn off or lower your lights. #smartstop #smartstopselfstorage #hometrends2021 #lifehack #bettersleeptips
