Hey, I’m Tawny!

I'm a free-spirited, kind of hippie, other-culture-loving, Vespa-obsessed mid-twenties girl with a passion for ending global poverty, abolishing sex trafficking, and keeping mamas with their babies. My husband and I strive to advocate for & pursue a slower, more ethical lifestyle, so I created this blog as a place for others who are passionate about world change to connect with Fair Trade artisan women (and men) around the world & help them support their families.

“We are kindred spirits… and now we are friends.”

You can read my full story on my about page.

I modeled this STUNNING @shopbila77 dress at a mini fashion show at @apricotlanewinterhavenfl this summer, and I realized it's PERFECT for fall. 😍🍁🍂

I'm actually having extreme regret that I didn't buy it that day. 🤦‍♀️ It's cotton, super flattering, fit me so well, & sustainably made. 🥰

I brought my own @tradesofhope accessories & completed the look. 😍

They're all made in India and Haiti, preventing poverty orphans, providing safe workplaces, and educating women. 💪

My Leather Bucket bag is currently over $100 off in my shop! 🤯😍 You'll also get a surprise gift when you 🛍️

Drop "bag" and I'll get you the deets before the deal is over! 🔗

It's Fall, Y'all! And not even Delulu Florida Girl

It's Fall, Y'all! And not even Delulu Florida Girl Fall, because it has actually been a chilly, windy day here in central Florida. 🍁🍂

With the leaves fallen & drying out on the ground after the Hurricane last week, were really getting the full effect. 👌🥰

Hats, boots, & scarves are totally my thing, so any chance I can get to bundle up and embrace the fall vibes, I'm there. I'm even wearing fleece-lined tights with this thrifted dress, feel free to judge me, I know I'm a pansy about the cold. 🙃😅

I thrifted these boots at @topbuttons.winterhaven during a fill a bag sale in the spring and they're so good!

I'm wearing some bracelets made by the girls in the Dominican Republic because I miss them. 😭

I've finished the look with my @tradesofhope accessories. 😍

My Leather Bucket Bag is $100 off this week! 🙌

Drop "bag" and I'll send you a 🔗 to grab yours before the price goes back up!

Left part of my heart in the Dominican Republic. ♥️ Truly, I'm not the same woman I was on Wednesday.

These are the girls in the trafficking safe home (the only shelter for minors in the south of the country and one of only 4 ministries in the country working in anti-trafficking) that we support with my work with Trades of Hope. ♥️

I sat with them and listened to them share their stories through tears. Little girls shouldn't have stories like theirs.

I stood with them and listened to them pray with conviction, worship God for his Faithfulness in their life, and dance in the freedom they have in Christ.

There is so much work to be done to fight the issue of child marriage & trafficking.

There is so much that has been accomplished.

I know with confidence that these girls are safe & loved...now.

But there are so many other girls who are not...yet.

We can do something about it right here, right now. Now that we know, we must share with others.

It's heavy. But in the midst there's so much joy.

The redemption story is full of Hope.

I'm processing, and I'm gonna take action.

Time to get back to work. 💪👭

How to tie a big flowy scarf into a vest!

This is my favorite hack for our scarves, it makes them super wearable for the Florida weather, adds some Boho vibes to my outfits, and of course they look adorable like this! 🥰

I'm using the Elva Scarf handmade in India, providing Fair wages, education, & safe working environments for women. ♥️

Drop me a "scarf" if you'd like my recommendations for the perfect scarves to use for this hack!

Ethically Sourced 100% Guatemalan Coffee (Beans or Ground) ~ Grown, Harvested, Roasted, Packaged, and Shipped Directly to You by our Artisan Partners!

Plantation 🌱 to porch 🏠- it doesn’t get fresher than that!

Last August I visited the coffee plantation and met Flavia- the Master Roaster (she’s 1 of only 5 female roasters in the country!!) this is just a glimpse of what it was like.

Longer vlog on my YT channel 😊

It’s:
☕️ Organic

In addition to safe jobs and fair wages for all workers, this group also works closely with the community to provide:

🌱lifesaving medications
🌱the ability for Artisans to personally give back to their communities

If you're following me, you know that I'm headed t

If you're following me, you know that I'm headed to the Dominican Republic to visit our artisan partners and trafficking safe house we support there in just 12 days.

I'm doing a little "drive" , with the goal of selling 6 of these Ocean Agate Bracelets, made by the girls there, before I leave for the trip. These bracelets are made with Larimar Stones, which are unique to the DR. Not only do you get to wear something so beautiful & special, but you'll also know every time you put it on that you're standing with a survivor of child trafficking & abuse. ♥️

An 11-year old girl who was rescued this week that was being used for the most heinous things. I have a niece who is 11. It's just so hard to fathom. 💔 Please join me in praying for her as she embarks on the long road ahead of healing from this horrible past.

Child trafficking makes us angry. But it doesn't have to be this way. We have the power to do something about it through something as simple as shopping. 💪

The poor are the most susceptible. We have solutions to provide Fair wages & safe work environments for people.

My Seraphina necklace is made by women leaving Brothels in Asia, and my Adina Necklace and other accessories are made by women in India leaving slums.

The rest of my look is thrifted, and my headband comes from @eastofthese 😊

Drop a "💪" for the link to shop this look and make an impact today!

I bought this dress in Antigua last year from our artisan partners who use ancient techniques to dye & weave these silky-soft scarves, kimonos, & more. 🥰😍 @vocesmaya

My friend Shelby visited me & let me try on her new Fiesta Earrings before they were released & I thought they were a fun pop of color with this dress. 🥰

I was already wearing the Freshwater Pearl Strand & Charming Necklace with the Framed Lead charm, so I went with it ☺️

My favorite way to empower women out of poverty & trafficking in Guatemala and India is by wearing comfy & cute outfits like these!
