As always, wealthy business men are handing out million dollar bonuses, while education & healthcare are being cut. Sports stadiums are being built, while thousands of children sleep in shelters every night. Billions are spent to create & drop bombs on defenseless women & children all over this world, while people claim to be "pro-life". It makes us want to... "FIGHT LIKE A MOTHER!“

Tagua Jewelry
Local Artist, Yolanda Rodriguez of 'Mara Accessories' supplies us with Tagua Bracelets, Flower Hair Bands & Rings. They are Beautiful & part of the proceeds go to support an Orphanage in Bogota, Colombia. The Tagua Nut, also known as "vegetable ivory" since the dried & polished seeds are very similar to elephant ivory, is a renewable & sustainable material from the rainforests of South America. The purchase of Tagua Seeds is an ecological incentive for preserving the rain forests. Tagua is a natural resource that can generate five times the income to an artisan than banana plantations or cattle ranches.
