“Friendly Reminder”

Empowering Minds, One Reminder at a Time

In the heart of our community thrives a unique beacon of hope and comfort - Friendly Reminder, an online sanctuary born from personal struggle and a deep commitment to mental health awareness. Whitney Ringle, the visionary behind this innovative brand, shares not just her journey but extends a hand to those navigating the tumultuous waves of mental health challenges.

A Personal Mission Turned Movement

Whitney's journey is a testament to resilience and hope. Having battled with suicidal thoughts and depression, she envisioned a world where conversations around mental health are not just normalized but embraced. Friendly Reminder is her dream materialized - a brand that offers more than just coffee and apparel. It's a statement, a movement, and a comforting nudge to anyone who needs a reminder that they are not alone.

More Than Just Apparel

What sets Friendly Reminder apart is not only its mission but the heart and soul poured into every product. From oversized, comfy apparel to the warm embrace of a coffee cup, every item carries a "friendly reminder" on the back, serving as a beacon of hope and solidarity. The brand prides itself on super-fast shipping, handmade products, being women-owned, and including free mental health resources with every package.

A Pillar in the Community

Friendly Reminder's commitment transcends beyond commerce; it is a vital community ally. Partnering with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) in Utah, the brand is at the forefront of fundraising, awareness walks, and legislative advocacy. Their involvement in the Out of the Darkness Walk in Salt Lake City every year and a recent Capitol Day pushing for bill HB 71, aimed at providing crisis assistance to rural residents, underscores their dedication to mental health advocacy.

Join the Movement

The brand's upcoming birthday celebration is just around the corner, on March 21st, promising new product launches and a giveaway the week prior and would like to invite the community to partake in their journey. Help Friendly Reminder continue to innovate and inspire.

A Call for Collaboration

As Friendly Reminder settles into its new home, Whitney's eagerness to collaborate with local businesses reflects a community spirit that thrives on mutual support and shared goals. It's an invitation to join hands in making a difference, one reminder at a time. If your business shares this vision of fostering a healthier, more connected community, we encourage you to reach out to Whitney. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of something truly special.

Stay Connected

To become a part of Friendly Reminder's mission, follow their journey on Instagram, Facebook, and make sure you explore their heartfelt collection on their website.

Together, we can weave a tapestry of support, awareness, and compassion that resonates throughout our community and beyond.

Friendly Reminder is not just a brand, but a beacon of hope, reminding us all of the power of support, understanding, and the simple yet profound impact of a friendly reminder.

Utah Leads Charge Against Classroom Cellphone Distractions, Other States Follow

Several states, led by Utah, are taking measures to reduce cellphone distractions in classrooms, aiming to enhance student learning and engagement.
