SENDING LOVE From LOLA STAR

ByLola Star

Good morning from Coney Island! I was just thinking, over morning coffee, about how we should be compassionate toward everyone because *everyone* is missing someone right now.

At a time when we need our family and friends around us the most, many of us are separated by travel restrictions, quarantines, no budget to travel or other pandemic related reasons. Zoom calls and FaceTime just don’t replace that feeling of a long, warm hug from your beloved friend or family member. So… be kind to each other!

Send your loved ones special tokens of your love like this Someone in Brooklyn loves me coffee mug designed by Lola Star and hand printed at Industry City  Every time they drink from this mug they will FEEL a warm hug from you!
