Trades Of Hope: Founders Tour Columbus (The Roosevelt Coffeehouse)



Hey everyone--

Trades of Hope recently held their founders tour at The Roosevelt Coffeehouse in Columbus. I went with my friend Bethany (she is the cutie in the bright patterned dress looking at the merchandise in one of the pictures below). We had such a good evening hearing from Co-Founders, Gretchen and Elisabeth Huijskens and a compassionate entrepreneur, Jill Butler. 

The stories of change and hope for women living in poverty and difficulty situations were very inspiring. Trades of Hope's mission is to change these women's lives from pain and struggle into stories of hope. Many of the women have been rescued from sex slavery. Many are living in war torn countries and others are handicapped or raising handicapped children without support.  

Trades of Hopes work with the artisans and organizations that are helping women directly. They help my marketing their products. They believe that anyone at any age can make a difference and be a world changer!

The Roosevelt Coffeehouse is an awesome awesome spot to pop in and have a cup coffee. It was my first time and I had no idea the good they were doing. They are feeding people in need locally and internationally and they are working to rescue those who have been enslaved. They have good coffee for good, good for fighting hunger, good for clean water and good for fighting human trafficking. Yeah.. they're really cool. It was just a plus that their coffee is yummy! I definitely recommend this coffeehouse. 

Both of these organizations have found really awesome ways to make a difference. They're fighting injustice daily and working to be the light in the world.

Have a sweet day!

Student Book Exchange (SBX) at Ohio State Collaboration + Sweepstakes

Hey everyone--
I'm so excited to share a sweepstakes opportunity with you! The Student Book Exchange at Ohio State (SBX) is proud to present The Sweepstakes for a Year of Free Textbooks. SBX is offering a year of FREE TEXTBOOKS to one lucky sweepstakes winner! Wouldn't that be nice? ..
If you're an Ohio State student, chances are you've already familiar with SBX. The Student Book Exchange at Ohio State (more commonly known as SBX) is a spirit-filled bookstore that sells new and used textbooks and offers textbook rentals. They also carry Ohio State apparel as well as brand names such as "Underarmor", "Be Ohio Proud"" and "Columbus Urban Threads". SBX has been at it's current location on High St. since 1953 and some of their staff has been employed for over 30 years! They do a fantastic job at serving OSU students.

 As a student, SBX has been my go to place for textbooks and quick campus pick-me-ups. It was so wonderful to collaborate with a sweepstakes that is so local and close to home for me. I love that I got to represent The Ohio State University and SBX. When I first arrived as a freshman, I was trying to start up a blog from scratch. I would have never believed that the bookstore I shopped at would one day partner with me. Dreams really are created on this campus! O-H !
I had so much fun collaborating with the lovely Amanda, from Girl About Columbus. Amanda's blog is seriously amazing, definitely a must read. For all things Columbus, fly by her blog!

 & If you love the shirts as much as we did, you can pick them up for yourself in store and online! Amanda's "Home" shirt is from Be Ohio Proud and my "Columbus shirt" is from Columbus Urban Threads.

Now, all of you buckeyes go enter the sweepstakes for a year of free textbooks and be sure to read the terms and conditions! 

I'd like to thank SBX Ohio State for hosting the sweepstakes and providing the threads + fellow blogger Amanda Hamman of Girl About Columbus + our photographer Lauren Kinsey!
