Well, it’s Christmas and during this season, we like to give gifts as a way to remember the ultimate gift . . . The gift God sent us a little over 2,000 years ago in the form of a precious baby.
Of course, we know it’s not about the gifts, but . . . during the next few days, I’m going to be giving away some goodies as a way to say “I love each of you and wish I were a multi-trillionaire and could send you all a little something for being so loyal.”
You guys . . . Oh my word. Do you know about Noonday Collection?
My Heart Sister, Jill, became an ambassador about a month ago and I am in. LOVE.
Not only is it my favorite style of jewelry (beads, African-type, bohemian-ish) but it also helps women in third world countries earn a living and support their families. Here’s what the website has to say about its origin:
“Noonday Collection’s first trunk show was hosted by founder, Jessica Honegger, in her home as a means to raise money to adopt her son and third child from Rwanda. The style and purpose of the products drew an overwhelming response, and the business quickly grew beyond a fundraiser {and her head is still spinning}. Thanks to Noonday sales, Jessica and her hubby brought home their son Jack in October of 2011. Orphan care and prevention remain a core value. At Noonday Collection, we believe every child belongs in a family.
In the summer of 2011, we launched the ambassador opportunity. The desire for women in the US to earn an income while creating pathways out of poverty for the vulnerable was overwhelming. Jessica needed help! She soon partnered up with another socially minded friend, Travis Wilson, to enable her to grow the business beyond what she could do alone. Both Travis and Jessica spent years living in resource poor areas of the world and both dreamed of starting a business that would alleviate poverty through entrepreneurship.
Together with the Noonday ambassadors across the country, we offer you the opportunity to use your purchasing power to create change in the world {while looking really good along the way}. Your fashion sense can now restore dignity to abandoned women in Ethiopia, empower communities in Ecuador, and create business opportunities for Ugandans.
We invite you to join our growing movement by wearing Noonday, sharing Noonday by hosting a trunk show, and becoming an Noonday Ambassador. Style your friends, change the world.”
And here’s a little snippet you can watch if you want more information, too:
And it’s not just jewelry, either. I also love their collection of scarves and bags . . .
In fact, I really, really want that bag in the front, Jill. Merry Christmas to me?
So here’s the scoop . . . First, visit Jill’s site by clicking here. Next, look around a bit then come back and let me know what caught your eye. I will draw for a winner tomorrow morning (Thursday, 6 a.m. EST) and announce it on my Facebook page. (You can visit my Facebook page by clicking here.)
