It’s no secret that kindness feels really, really good. Hearing a genuine compliment, receiving a thoughtful gift or reading a kind letter, makes us feel loved, supported and awesome! That’s why Tiny Devotions and S’well are teaming up this weekend to bring you the #PayItForward social media challenge.
How does it work?
Step one: Be randomly kind! Treat someone in your life to a random act of kindness. We have a seriously inspiring list of creative ideas below to get you started.
Step two: Snap a pic. Take a photo of yourself paying it forward. Post it to your fave social media outlet using the hashtag #PayItForward and tag @TinyDevotions + @SwellBottle.
Step three: Win! We’ll be choosing one lucky winner and gifting them an epic prize- pack that includes a Swell water bottle and a Tiny Devotions Manifest Collection bracelet!
1. Write an anonymous love letter, seal it with a kiss and send it or leave it strategically for someone to find. Get really detailed and specific with what you love about that person.
2. Buy a gift card at your fave coffee joint and give to the barista. Tell him to use it to buy drinks for the rest of line!
3. Think of your favourite inspiring quote or mantra. Write it down on a piece paper in big block letters and post it somewhere public. If the words you chose are powerful to you, chances are they’re exactly what someone else needs to hear.
4. Raid your wardrobe and donate last season’s clothes, or items you no longer wear to a local Goodwill or second hand store. Someone in need will definitely appreciate your killer sense of style.
5. Buy a bouquet of flowers and deliver them to someone you see every day, but often overlook. This could be the security guard at your office, your bus driver, the woman who does your dry cleaning…doesn’t matter! Flowers make anyone feel loved and special.
6. Make it your mission to genuinely compliment EVERYONE you speak with in a day. Get specific and get creative with your praise.
7. Treat a friend, co-worker, or family member to a delicious home-cooked meal, or bake something delicious and share it with members of your yoga studio after class. Nothing tastes sweeter than a meal made with love!
8. Write an epic and positive review online for a local business you visit regularly! They will be over-the-moon with appreciation.
9. What’s the last book you read that made an impact? Pass it off to a friend. Maybe it will be as meaningful to her as it was to you.
10. Make sure the subject of your random act of kindness pays it forward to! Keep the positivity flowing.
My name is Kristyn and I blog over at creativewithkristyn.com I am a believer in living with intention, living life to the fullest and sharing love and light wherever possible.
I was recently chosen for Tiny Devotions beautiful “Random Acts of Kindness Campaign” on Pinterest. I was their first winner and it was such a wonderful pre-yoga class surprise! So many of my social media friends were retweeting and tagging me to let me know I had won a Tiny Devotions Mala, I could not believe it! What is this amazing campaign? It’s simple. It’s awesome. It’s bound to blow your mind.
How does it work?
For the next 12 months Tiny Devotions will be sharing and spreading the love by committing Random Acts of Kindness. They will be choosing Pinterest users who’ve re-pinned photos of their stunning malas, stacks and other buddhaful Tiny Devotions’ accessories, once a month and will be gifting them whatever mala, stack or accessory they’ve pinned. There’s no deadline. There’s no catch. Just pin a photo of your favourite bohemian accessory and you could win! Cool right?
How did I win?
So, how was I chosen? I am a Pinterest junkie. 😉 Aren’t we all? I love checking out what Tiny Devotions has on Pinterest. They are always posting wonderful pictures of their malas, scarves, stacks…everything! They also post inspirational quotes that I always connect with and find so relative. I have pinned and shared the Tiny Devotions love so many times, they felt I should be their first winner!
How can you win?
Are you a life lover and a light spreader? If you are reading Boho Daily, then I know you are. I encourage you to spread the love-Tiny Devotions love! Re-pin your favourite TD posts and you could be gifted with a Random Act of Kindness!
Share your manifests, love, light, and kindness with the world on Pinterest. Tweet out an inspirational message to your followers. Create an Instagram collage or quote that just might bring a smile to someone’s face. All of those are ways to spread the love and are random acts of kindness! You truly never know whose day you will brighten just by that small act.
Thank you again, Tiny Devotions, for having me on your blog today to talk about the campaign. I am truly in love with this campaign and look forward to continuing to spread the Tiny Devotions love and committing my own random acts of kindness as I move along this beautiful thing we call life.
Peace, Love, Yoga,

My favourite breakfast is coconut flour pancakes with fresh organic blueberries, maple syrup and coconut oil on top!!!! Joy inspires me because I have come from the same place as her with respect to health challenges and by following her nutritional guidelines and recommendations, I’ve become a very joyous person, inside and outside….:)))
Erin said:
My favorite breakfast is fresh fruit and yogurt with my sweet baby girls! We love organic blueberries, strawberries and raspberries the most. Sometimes we add a touch of honey or ground flax meal. To really spice things up….a slice of all-natural homemade banana bread. It’s important to teach them to eat clean and healthy from the beginning. XO

How did Joyous Health come to be?
When I had some health issues in my late teens, early twenties I learned all too quickly how easily your health can slip away from you. It was a 3.5 year journey of not feeling great and suffering the negative effects of hormonal imbalance from dry skin, my hair falling out and more. Fortunately through my own research and empowerment plus the guidance of experts later on, I was able to completely heal my body and feel joyous again. I did this by balancing my diet and my lifestyle and nutritional supplementation. Joyous Health is not just the avoidance of the occasional cold and flu, joyous health is having a positive attitude, feeling good about your body, having energy for exercise and sex, good digestion, feeling and look fabulous! This is what you will learn and be inspired to achieve in my book, on my website and in workshops I teach.
What did you love most about writing?
Writing for me is a chance to share my passion for natural health with the world. I love it so much! Writing my book was an incredible, lengthy, but enjoyable process. It is also a very creative process. Interestingly, when I was writing my book I didn’t have an official office at the time so my entire 293 page book was written from café to café and tea cup to tea cup across Toronto! From conception of the idea (to create a healthy lifestyle book and combine it with recipes), to all the nitty gritty of editing, creating and making all the recipes and shooting them with my team it was about a 2 year process. Writing is and has always been therapeutic for me as well. I’m so proud of this book as I know it’s going to transform people’s lives.
Where were the shots taken?
Most of the photos were taken up North at my parents house and property in Chatsworth, Ontario. Their neighbours are sheep and donkeys (seriously) and the land is magical. The combination of nature, good joyous vibes from everyone on my team which consisted of my designer/food stylist Carol and my photographer Nick, I couldn’t have asked for a better looking, more joyous book! I just love the natural feel of it. I often here from other writers that the vision did not translate on paper because of the photos and design so I feel very grateful because my book is exactly what I want to be — joyous! Some of the market shots were at Brickworks Farmers Market in Toronto in the Spring of 2013 where I personally shop so it felt very natural and comfortable. The shot of my hubs Walker and I is on the veranda on a hot summer day of my parent’s house drinking white wine, with a straw!
What is your favourite breakfast?
I love so many different foods and always make sure I have variety. But if I had to pick, I would say pancakes. In fact, I was up visiting my parents this past weekend I made everyone the coconut flour banana pancakes from my book. Often times I will make extra so I can free the pancakes then pop in the toaster for a quick breakie. I also love smoothies and scrambled eggs with kale and a side of avocado with a good pinch of sea salt.
What makes you joyous?
Many things!
Good quality hugs, at least 20 seconds.
Knowing and hearing stories from clients and people who have read my book or blog that the information has changed their life.
Brunch with my hubs — that’s our thing… on Sundays we always make a point of going out for brunch with friends or making a yummy breakie at home.
Quiet time up north at my parents far away from cars, street lights and being surrounded by the solitude of nature and the joy of people I adore.
Green juices with a good dose of ginger.
Last but certainly not least, yoga! I do yoga every single day. I can’t always make it to a class at 889 so I often do my own self-practice. It keeps me happy.
What intention do you live by?
