Quinoa Giveaway from Trade as One!

Let’s face it – we all like to indulge ourselves every now and then. And why shouldn’t we? We live in a fast paced world and most of us are so busy that we don’t stop often enough to smell the proverbial roses.

Wouldn’t it be nice though if you could treat yourself (or a loved one) to something special and know that you are making a difference in the process? Well today I am going to tell you how you can – by shopping with Trade As One!

Trade As One is a fair trade company that works hard to help people in poor countries use their skills to work their way out of poverty. These aren’t people who are looking for handouts – these are hard working people who have amazing skills that they just want to be paid a fair wage for.

When you visit their website you will be instantly struck with the amazing fair trade products that you will find – everything from quinoa to handmade jewelry and stationary. Many of them are just downright delicious! Personally, I am just dying for one of their beautiful scarfs! (Although the jewelry is really tempting too….and wait, I’m almost out of quinoa…oh, and quinoa chocolate bars anyone?)

Are You Hungry for Change?

One program that I really like is their Hungry for Change Program. You can sign up to make a difference each month for just $33. With your subscription you will receive four or five fair trade products each month. They will vary monthly and allow you to experiment with using different fair trade food products in your regular cooking. You can expect to get things like chocolate, tea and even spices. I don’t know about you but I just love these types of programs where I feel like I’m getting a present every month! (Even if it is just a present to myself!)
