…cake! It’s your birthday, Buoy! How ’bout two slices for two delicious years?
While we’re munching on a little chocolate & cheese, let me bring you up to speed.
Buoy is BACK in a new way – The Buoyed Buyer! Huuuuh??
We ALL love fashion and looking good, but what if our purchases were more educated, more thoughtful and more INSPIRED?! Introducing, The Buoyed Buyer. The concept involves you and your friends Eating, Loving and Inspiring for a good cause! I recently launched a pilot in my own home:
1. Eat – Gather. Eat. Drink. Be Merry.
2. Love – Sometimes the first step to spreading love is becoming educated. Therefore, the night includes a screening of the documentary, The True Cost, which shows the implications of our “fast fashion” world.
3. Inspire – *Browsing and buying fair-trade clothes, jewelry and accessories.
Purpose of the night is Eat, Love, Inspire – in that order – which is why *browsing is equivalent to buying. I don’t believe anyone should make purchases they can’t afford or don’t need because this is not about the products, but the people.
