Stop (and Give)! In the name of Love

The holidays are near, Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid, or whatever other celebration you believe in.. it is a time to love, share, and give.

I'm sure all you shopaholics will be doing a lot of shopping in the upcoming days, and while you're clicking on net-a-porter or amazon, please visit and shop at the following sites. Your purchase can make a difference, stop poverty, and support those in need.

Beaded jewlery by Ugandan Women http://www.beadforlife.org/

Bags made by Indian Sex Workers www.freesetbags.com

A voucher that pays for an orphan's food and education for a year http://gvnfoundation.org/whatyoucando/donate/gifts/

Believe me, you'll experience retail therapy with a new level of euphoria.

you know whats weird? i never buy stuff when its time for some celebration.. why do ppl buy stuff at these occasions? i mean is it like i cant buy it some other time? or i enjoy going to the crowded malls during the holidays? thats what i dont get.. ppl love finding a reason to spend so much money on clothes without feelin guilty just by blamin it on the holidays.. why feel guilty anyways, buy what you like, when you like :)

Welcome to my blog! I know what u mean, I don't shop for the holidays either, but alot of ppl I know do. Many actually enjoy the crowded malls cuz it gives them some shopping spirit!

"...buy what you like, when you like." I agree, and that should be ALL the time ;)
