This post is the first of my Why Series here on the blog. I often write about fair trade, eco-friendly, socially conscious living, but I am not always able to fully address in each of my blog posts WHY I choose to live this way. This series goes into greater detail about my why! Chances… Read More
I seriously cannot believe it has been 12 months since I took on a challenge to exclusively purchase fair trade clothing for an entire year.

When hubs recently commented on how he needed some new suits for work, I quickly jumped on the opportunity to browse fair… Read More
