    Happy Fair Trade Month! Understanding the Movement

    October 20, 2020 / 3 Comments

    There are so many reasons to love October. The leaves are changing, apples are ripe for picking, pumpkin spice- everything is in stores, and the thrill of Halloween (my personal favorite holiday) lingers all month long. October is also Fair Trade Month, an annual observation of the importance of the fair trade movement to our global economy, and a time to encourage others to buy fair trade. But what is fair trade anyway? Here is a breakdown of the term and some frequently asked questions. What is fair trade?

    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 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…

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.
