site travels | chocolate slaves

how many slaves do you have working for you? i'm sad to say i have 65. slavery footprint is a well-designed, user-intuitive site that calculates this for you. i took the footprint test after watching a cnn freedom project piece about how the chocolate industry is heavily supported by child slavery--it's not just blood diamonds anymore. watch or read about it here. these are kids who haven't even tasted chocolate before; it's heart breaking. be an informed consumer, take the test and learn more about the origin of your products: http://slaveryfootprint.org/

rule breaker | mixing jewelry

loving the mishmash of jewelry pictured here. it's outdated to think jewelry has to perfectly coordinate. the days of wearing  gold earrings only with a gold necklace are over. if you want to wear your silver ring with your brass one: do it. the key is doing it artfully.
