I think it is because I am getting older but who knows, I feel myself searching for something. A way to give back some the blessings I have received throughout my life. I have a wonderful husband who supports me in everything I try to do and an amazing family. I have been blessed with 3 daughters and mother that has always shown me what it meant to have courage and to be kind to people because it is the right thing to do.
So because of this I have starting looking for simple ways to give back to the world. Little things everyone can do. I think this all came to pass when Matt asked me what I would do if we won the lottery and money was not longer a factor in our lives. I told him the first thing I would do would be to quit my job and go to work in a soup kitchen. After I thought about it I figured I did not need to win the lottery to volunteer in a soup kitchen I just needed to find one. I found one and I did.
When we make our everyday purchases there are ways you can give back. JacarandaStyle is a merchant that sells only hand made items made in
I personally like the ostrich eggs. They are on the expensive side but when you think about in terms of donating to a charity it really is not. I can not believe that they make little bowls out of the eggs but my favorite has to be the tea light candle holders. They look like they have such a beautiful hue to them.
Several publications such as Marie Claire and Ebony have also picked up on the value of this merchant giving back to the community. On the site you will find a 10% off coupon good towards any purchase on the site. If you need to do some last minute shopping I suggest you start here.
