    Trades of Hope Cyber Monday!

    December 3, 2019 / 2 Comments

    While I chose to skip Black Friday sales this year, there is something about Cyber Monday I find hard to resist. There’s no crowds or lines- just me in my pajamas browsing my favorite sites. It’s especially rewarding when you know your purchase helps women living in poverty and/or previous sex trafficking victims have dignified jobs and provide for their families. The Fair trade company Trades of Hope is offering some of my favorite pieces for up to 70% off through December 3rd. Here are some of my favorite pieces: To view all Cyber Monday sales and shop my Trades of Hope store click here!

    Trades of Hope Savanna Collection

    July 26, 2019 / No Comments

    “If I have ever seen magic, it has been in Africa.” -John Hemingway Ever since I was a little girl I have dreamed about Africa, especially the animals of the African savanna. I preferred playing with figurines of cheetahs and giraffes over dolls, and my bedroom had an African safari theme. As an adult my childhood dreams of traveling to Africa came true and I was able to visit Ethiopia and Ghana. I also fell in love with the people, the traditions, the beautiful designs they incorporate into their clothing and crafts. As a first grade teacher I teach about the savanna habitat every year, and I love sharing my…

    Trades of Hope has a new look for summer

    June 9, 2019 / No Comments

    Trades of Hope is a fair trade company that traditionally sells artisan made jewelry, bags, and home decor. This month the company added two new categories as part of their Capsule Collection. A versatile black dress and woven ikat sandals. Besides a couple kimonos, Trades of Hope has never sold apparel or shoes. I was excited to see the new collection which is classic black and white with a red accent. The pieces are made by upcycled fabrics and sustainable materials from women in Cambodia, Guatemala, and India. Here are some of my favorites pieces from the capsule collection named Endless Summer and the Summer ’19 collection! Endless Sandals Endless…

    Trades of Hope Spring Line

    January 11, 2019 / No Comments

    Although the first day of spring doesn’t arrive until March 20, it’s fairly common to see new spring collections launch early in the new year. With a new year comes a fresh new look. Trades of Hope’s new collection is inspired by the Greek word eunoia, which means “beautiful thinking; a well mind”. The collection is beautiful, with both bold pieces and dainty feminine pieces to please different customers. One thing I like about Trades of Hope is that their pieces can appeal to different age groups, and the same holds true for the spring line. Here are my favorite pieces from the new collection: I do love a bold…

I’m saddened and angered by the senseless violen I’m saddened and angered by the senseless violence that occurred in our beautiful city last night.  We keep saying something needs to change, but no really- Something needs to change.  #raleighstrong #guncontrolnow

Having a baby has certainly challenged my sustain Having a baby has certainly  challenged my sustainability goals.  I know that disposable diapers create a lot of waste- in fact an estimated 3.5 million tons of waste every year.  But I couldn’t bring myself to commit to doing the reusable cloth diapers.  I was thrilled to discover another solution- @nestdiapers  are plant-based, biodegradable, and I can compost them!  Best part is they’re also affordable.  We tested these diapers all along the PNW this summer and they held up great for our active little family. 🥰
After 2.5 years, we’re finally back to traveling After 2.5 years, we’re finally back to traveling and exploring new places- now with a baby in tow!  We enjoyed Vancouver’s many breweries while the little guy napped.  I was so impressed with how advanced this city is when it comes to sustainability as well!  More on this later.
