light gives heat.

Hey you guys!

I have something cool to share with you guys today. Working at Sseko has opened me up to a whole new world of cause based brands and non-profits that are doing some really cool things around the world. With the holidays swiftly approaching, I thought it would be a neat to share some of them with you! You know, before you set out on a crazy mall shopping marathon looking for all the right gifts. There isn't a better gift I can think of than one that continues to give. It is the perfect way to spread Christmas cheer...all over the globe. 

Light gives Heat is a company that is committed to creating world changing opportunities in Africa and America. They partner with local artisans in Uganda to provide them with a consistent income. Through these partnerships, they are also able to provide consumers with beautiful handmade products. Light gives Heat features a wide variety of lovely things in their store. Check out their collection of jewelry, totes and home goods.  

My personal favorite is the Prisca Necklace and this is how I would style it: 

Light gives Heat also challenges consumers to look outside of themselves, to see beauty in the risk and to pursue big, beautiful, crazy dreams. And I think that pretty much rocks.

Fondly from Portland,
