I am so horrible. Well, not really. I mean it's all for a good (aka GREAT!) cause right?! I know, I know, you have no idea what I'm talking about. You're probably reading this thinking I'm a little crazy (& you'd be right...). But the thing is I am totally addicted to Trades of Hope.
Wait...do you know what Trades of Hope is, what we do or who we help?! (click here) Go ahead and click the link. I'll wait...

As I was saying. I was horrible the other day. Our new summer insert has been live for almost a month and I had yet to order anything. Monday I broke down and ordered 3 things the Virtue Bracelet (from Thailand), the Mother of Pearl Bangle set and the Zion Scarf (from India). Well...I realized I don't have a lot of gold tones. Then I saw our Miriam Earrings (from Kenya) and the Warrior Cuff that goes fabulous with the Mediterranean Strands that I already have. So I got them too.
Now. Did I need to spend the money? No. Definitely not. Should I have spent the money? Probably not. But I did anyway. I did it for the artisans. The women who make all of the gorgeous trinkets and sparkles I get to wear. Women who are trying to make a better life for their family. My new toys provide a way of life for these women & I get to help by shopping, selling, and educating women in the U.S. We are inspiring hope, creating change and shining a light where there was only dar. That's why I'm addicted to TOH, why are you?
