ECO-BEAUTIFUL LIVING WALK & TALK
Join us THURSDAY AUGUST 11, 2016
"I felt a sense of adventure from the diverse range of shops we went to. I really enjoyed the stores where salespeople gave a presentation. The introduction at the beginning was very important since it opened the door for connecting more with each individual in between each stop. I think I made at least one new friend who I will reach out to after the experience. I've already returned to one of the stores on my own and feel more empowered as a consumer. I will continue to develop my rapport with shop owners and sales people and my own sense of what "ethical" really means." JEE YOUNG PARK NJ.

What they're saying...
"Absolutely enjoyed it, in fact much more than I think you guys realized! Its one thing to wander through soho,
or have a map or a list of designers, or read about them. But you really brought it to life, and were excited about each place. Also the
individuals in the group were so lovely. Just the right size group."
