I am a girly girll (have you noticed?) and I do looooves me some accessories, but I don’t wear a ton of jewelry every day. However, I always wear earrings cause seriously my naked ears are not a pretty sight. A couple of years ago for my birthday my cousin Anna (Emily’s fabulous younger sister) gave me a really pretty pair for my birthday. She explained to me that they were the best present ever because they were made by NightLight. Eh? I had no idea what she was talking about. She then further explained that NightLight is a jewelry business that was started as a way to provide employment opportunities and job training to women who were “employed” (aka trafficked/enslaved) in the sex trade in Thailand. As of January of this year 72 women who used to work in the sex trade were working for NightLight and receiving life skills training as well as job training.
The jewelry is beautiful and the cause is great – so go to NightLight’s website and check out all they have to offer. (They have a great selelction – much more than just earrings!) Consider buying yourself some bling and helping give a better life to a woman who needs it – if we had been born in Thailand, it could easily be any one of us searching for a way out of that life.
