Hey friends! It’s Fair Trade… Sunday! Since I’m so excited about my upcoming trip to Haiti (April 21-26), I decided it was time to get some more Trades of Hope posts on the blog! Here’s a throwback to some photos we took while in the Smoky Mountains in January. Here I’m wearing the captivating wrap, which is technically a bracelet, as a headband! It’s super comfortable and matches pretty much everything since it has silver, gold, and copper metal beads. It is made by empowered artisans in Thailand. Shop the

Why I Left My Previous (successful!) Direct Sales Company for Trades of Hope

Today is my 2 year anniversary of jumping into the Direct Sales world, so I thought it would be appropriate to share why I decided to leave my previous company (that I was making a decent income from) and join Trades of Hope!

I just want to put a disclaimer in here that I am in no way mad at or bashing my previous company. I’m not going to name the company out of respect, but those of you

Happy Friday! It’s been a while since we’ve posted here on the blog. It just so happens to be our very last day as Northerners, because we’re heading out on our camper journey down to Florida tomorrow! We’ve been staying with my parents for the last 3 weeks, and we are so ready to get down to the South and start our new lives (and get back to blogging more). The one advantage to staying in Northern PA has been seeing all the Fall colors. It truly is a beautiful

Happy Friday, everyone! If you haven’t noticed, we have been kinda MIA for the past few weeks. Don’t worry, we have tons of blog posts coming in the future! We have been so busy working on our camper, and we’re in the official moving out stage, so we really haven’t had time to write up our long blog posts.

Anyway, here is another Fair Trade Friday post! My mom wanted to model some of her Trades of Hope items, so she is going to be featured in this post! And yes,

Happy Friday! If you’re following us on Instagram, you would have noticed by now that I’m in Nashville this weekend! I’m actually attending the Trades of Hope conference called Empower! I wanted to sneak this post in from our Tuesday night adventure over to our local county fair, especially since I was sporting some fair trade jewelry.

Still getting used to the whole “modeling in the middle of public spaces” thing, but people were walking by making comments that we must be famous. Haha, maybe they’ll come find our blog one

Happy Friday! We have been super busy this week preparing for our Garage Sale, so we haven’t had a lot of time! We know that we’re behind on a Camper Update that we mentioned, but we will have it up next week, we promise! Here’s a short Fair Trade Friday featuring what I wore on my 22nd birthday this past Wednesday! I spent the day on the Ithaca commons, and we had a chance to grab some shots while the sun shined for a couple minutes.

Welcome back to Fair Trade Friday! I think I’m gonna really like this series! Luke on the other hand… well, let’s just say he is a very patient photographer. 🙂

This week I’m coming at you with a bag, bracelet, and some earrings. This outfit features many of my favorite things– hats, bags, and pearls! Don’t know what Trades of Hope is? Start here!

I’m trying to do the “fashion blogger pose”, but it looks like I’m just being eaten by my ginormous hat. Funny story… I didn’t want to wear these

Welcome to Fair Trade Friday! So excited to start this new series.

A little over a year ago I learned about this amazing company called Trades of Hope. I love the idea of this company, especially since it lines up with what Luke and I have learned through our missions courses and what we want to do with our lives. They are Fair Trade Certified, faith-based, and the best part: their stuff is ADORABLE!! I’m not necessarily a “fashion forward” person compared to a lot of the big fashion bloggers out
