Yay for International Women's Day!


Happy International Women's Day!  Today, celebrate the amazing women in your life.  Do something to cheer on a fellow female.  Give a compliment to a stranger.  Help out a neighbor.  Call your mother.  Support female-owned businesses.  Grab coffee with your best friend.  Have wine night with the gals.  Blast your favorite female artists (Florence and the Machine, Haim, Adele, Beyonce, Lana Del Rey, Serena Ryder, Paloma Faith, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga to name a few...).  Remember, the future is female so a little bit of raising each other up can go a long way.  Today (and honestly, everyday), I'm truly grateful for the strong, supportive, encouraging, courageous, loving, and inspiring women in my life.  

Looking for a simple way to support women today that will make a huge impact?  I'm so honored to have partnered with strong, incredible women all over the world through Threads Worldwide.  These amazing artisans and business women are shattering glass ceilings and embracing freedom.  Browse and shop my online boutique of fair trade jewelry and accessories here:  Threads Worldwide - Allison Young
