Kansas City is home to a lot of talented people. Moreover, Kansas City is home to lot of talented young people. One of the most talented young entrepreneurs I have met is the founder of MADI Apparel, Hayley Besheer. From the moment I met her, I was beyond impressed with her drive and the success she's achieved with her line of intimate apparel. From Forbes to Nylon Magazine, Hayley has made a big media impact with MADI--but she is making a humanitarian impact as well.

MADI stands for Make A Difference Intimates. When you shop MADI Apparel, you are not shopping just any lingerie boutique. With each piece sold, a pair of underwear--the most under-donated clothing item--is donated to a woman in need (think domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters, etc). Donations have been made both domestically and internationally.

MADI Apparel garments themselves are also making a difference to our environment and our community. Each piece is fabulously, lounge-all-weekend soft, due to being made from eco-friendly bamboo cloth. This cloth is cut and sewn right at home in Kansas City, rather than being outsourced abroad to questionable production conditions.

If MADI Apparel's story of giving back doesn't have you won over, the quality and style of the pieces certainly will! With a sense of elegant restraint, MADI offers pieces that steer away from the overly trendy and towards the timeless. Always crafted in the softest, most flattering fabrics, these intimates will have you (and your significant other!) wanting to stay in all weekend!

I'm really excited about today's post because it involves three things I really love--entrepreneurship, girl bosses, and coffee. My friend Adrianne is the definition of girl boss. While we are both from the same small town KS county, she didn't let that hold her back. Over a year ago, she forged her own trail moving to Arizona and just recently living the California dream with a sporadic move to LA. As if that isn't bad ass enough, she and her boyfriend Freddy have started their own coffee company, Bandit Coffee! Adrianne and I can both attest to the fact that running your own business requires a lot of caffeination, and lucky for me Bandit Coffee is the perfect fuel to keep me going.

I love the Eight-Second Ride variety of Bandit Coffee. It is an instant coffee, which is perfect for me since I tend to be rather lazy pre-morning-coffee. I was really curious to try Bandit's take on instant coffee as most other quickie brews have left lacking at best or with heartburn at worst. However, Eight-Second Ride does not disappoint. The only thing this cup lacks is the bitter aftertaste which some coffees have. Bonus: it's is just as good black as it is with milk and sugar (my usual choice).

How can instant coffee be this good? The secret to the formula lies in the sourcing of the coffee beans. Bandit Coffee uses coffee beans grown in Peru. These high altitude mountain farms produce beans that make Bandit Coffee one of the lowest acidic coffees on the market--this means easier drinking and digesting for us. Not only is Bandit Coffee better for you, but it's better for our world as it's organic and a Certified Fair Trade product.

The best way to experience the Bandit difference is to try it for yourself. In the spirit of the small town roots from which we came, Adrianne and I are excited to offer you 25% off your Bandit Coffee order from now until Monday! Simply use the code "LUNAELISE" at checkout. If you spend over $30, shipping is also included. Your mornings are bound to get better waking up to Bandit Coffee.
