Everyday Kindness

Become an everyday advocate | With so much harm being done to the planet and its people, it can be hard to see how any of us can truly make a difference - but we can. Let's explore fair trade fashion with Noonday Collection, as well as other topics around shopping with purpose and developing social and environmental consciousness in our daily lives.

Three weeks into our shelter-in-place lifestyle, as I’m trying to “Thrive in Place” (see my last post for what that means!), I find that some days I just am not up for much of anything.

All dolled up with nowhere to go. (Pictured: Abide Earrings, Calypso Earrings, and Chien Necklace, from juliegodshall.com/shop)

Other days, however, I feel creative — like yesterday, when I put on my makeup, fixed my hair, and set up lights in my bedroom to make some videos for you!

(When my 7yo asked why I was getting dolled up and I told her, she dared me to do my videos in just a shirt and underwear. I may have shown her a couple of those viral videos about that topic….But no, I did not take her up on the dare.)

Anyway, I was thinking back to last summer in Ecuador, when I earned a trip with Noonday Collection to meet our Artisan Business Partners there and explore the country. And I wanted to outline for you how some of my favorite pieces — our tagua seed pieces — come to life.

Enjoy learning about the eco-friendly process, and how it’s transforming lives in this beautiful country!
