Celebrate Mother's Day The Fair Trade Way #FairTrade #KloutPerks

Have you heard of Fair Trade?  So, much good is being done through Fair Trade, yet only 20% of Americans know what it is.This is why in honor of Mother's Day, I encourage you to educate yourself, friends, and contacts via Social Media about Fair Trade Certified coffee, tea, chocolate, or roses to give as gifts to the special women in their lives.
The Fair Trade Certified label lets purchasers know that their purchases make a positive difference for women around the world, such as:
  • Fair Trade is helping moms in Rwanda buy their kids shoes so that they can attend school.
  • It's giving expectant mother's in Ecuador safe working conditions and maternity leave.
  • It's empowering women in Peru to earn their fair share for their hard work.

The Allegro Le Duena Coffee brand, means "female owner," and has opened the doors for moms. The Peruvian and Mexican women who produced this coffee are, for the first time, selling their own coffee and earning income that allows their families to improve their lives and invest in their children's future!

You can check out all of the Fair Trade brands, that I had the pleasure of sampling thanks to Klout Perks, they are all found on Twitter:
I love that Fair Trade farmers are offered and receive higher prices for organic crops and learn about sustainable farming. Harmful agrochemicals and GMOs are strictly prohibited. The great news is that your everyday purchases can help farming families in 70 countries earn fair wages, work in safe conditions, protect the environment, and keep their kids in school. Buying Fair Trade is an easy way to support the hard-working people who grow and sew the products we love. You'll find the Fair Trade Certified label on more than 11.000 products throughout the grocery store, from coffee, tea, and chocolate to bananas, honey, and even wine!

This year for Mother's Day, support Fair Trade Moms, and make a word of difference! Check out FairTradeUSA.org on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram at @FairTradeUSA, hash tag #FairTrade.

Congratulations to Kellie W .,  as she was selected as the winner of the giveaway for the  New Trent iCarrier Heavy Duty Dual Port Charger! It is that time again! Conference season, is here and I know many Bloggers are heading to conferences to network, connect with brands, and to see those that they correspond with on Social Media! I was amazed and overwhelmed at the amount of "stuff," one can drag with them to a conference. As I packed my bag for a local two day conference,  I could not help but count the number of gadgets and cords that I would be hauling with me.  It wasn't until lunch time, that I gave any thought to the fact that there weren't any outlets available to charge all of my devices that I used throughout the day to connect to Social Media! As I looked around there were hundreds of bloggers and business people, all with the same concern. How on earth would I save my dying Smart Phone? I looked at the wall behind me and there was a line of d
