Chewylou Designs is the vision of Alyssa Dinowitz, who styles comfy cotton clothes emblazoned with uplifting, life-enhancing mantras. Shop collections of ladies tank tops ($26–$28), men’s T-shirts ($18–$28), and doggy outerwear ($18) that uphold the physical and spiritual principles of yoga through singular words, such as "hope," "faith," and "dream." A Karma tank top reminds you to occasionally relinquish your seat on double-decker tour buses ($26), and a short-sleeve Friends T-shirt reminds you never to throw your closest pals under one ($32). Two-toned long-sleeve shirts are optimal for covering arms during workout warm-ups, cool evenings, and spontaneous dips into beehives ($36). Consult the size chart to ensure torsos are aptly fitted in 100% sheer jersey cotton.
An accomplished yoga instructor, Alyssa launched Chewylou Designs after her mother’s three-time triumph over breast cancer. Notions of hope and love inspired her to create her clothing company and name it after her two dogs, Chewy and Lexi Lou. Chewylou works closely with and supports a variety of nonprofit organizations, including Susan G. Komen for the Cure Phoenix, Planting Peace, and Faces of Hope Fund.

The Groupon Guide to: Keeping Clean
Since 1998, when scientists proved that dirt could penetrate people's skin and make them evil, cleanliness has been a medical and moral priority for most people. Here's a guide to keeping clean:
- Look at Soap: Because soap is just a placebo, looking at it is just as effective as using it.
- Make Your Own Water: "Water is good for cleaning"—yes, this is just an old wives' tale, but unlike other old wives' tales, this one is true. Don't waste money on the store-bought stuff, though. You can purchase hydrogen and oxygen in bulk and then make your own water by placing the two elements in a sealed shoebox overnight.
- Bathe Once a Month, Every Month: No taking July off just because you didn't break a sweat eating those firecrackers. Simply fill a bathtub with your homemade water and soak in it until your skin prunes, then swells, then hardens like coral, and then returns to normal.
- Keep Clean Inside and Out: Your internal organs can get gummed up by waxy buildup, toxins, and eggs left behind by the dozens of spiders you accidentally swallow every day. Restore cleanliness to your insides with a daily dose of the most powerful cleaner known to man: a sunny disposition. Also, drink a gallon of mouthwash every Friday.
