Today I learned that one of my favourite boutiques in town is going out of business, which is a damned shame; its funky and elegant and the prices are reasonable and everything is more or less luxury fair trade. Apparently she has to close because she is tired, and I can understand that, but I […]
Fair trade principles state that through the intellectual and financial empowerment of individuals and through community building, advocacy and awareness campaigns, financial literacy and personal development programs, we can improve not just the quality of life but both industry and environmental standards. One of the primary difficulties I encounter while advocating for trafficking victims and […]

International stuff first I suppose. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re no doubt aware of the recent terror attacks in France and elsewhere.

I have the idea of taking this another step further. Basically, a shopping and design simulator using fair trade products […]
My leg hurts so much from yesterday’s walk around town, but I feel really accomplished with what I got done yesterday. It was, for abolitionism in particular and for my fashion blogging in general, a really good day. I went around Main Street Stony Plain again and made contact with effectively all of the store […]
Today after voting I went for a walk around Stony Plain’s downtown core.
