The Weekly Links - Week 2

Can I really call this 'The Weekly Links' if it's been more than two weeks since the last one? 
I've been super busy the last few weeks, my partner and I celebrated our 6-year anniversary in Wales and then we spent the long Easter weekend in sunny Scotland, so I've not been able to keep up with this, but hopefully from now on it will become a weekly feature! 

Quote of the Week:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
-Margaret Mead

Elephant Branded
"Why do some children have the right to an education whilst others don't?
By buying one of our products, we donate school kit to children in Africa or Asia. Simple as that."

  2. Fabulous - even if it's not weekly, great info and an interesting read. Love the 'Elephant Branded' idea. In my view, free access to good education is one of the only ways to save the world in the long term.

    1. Thanks for your support Rebecca! Absolutely, education is so so important and should be made to all. I plan on purchasing an elephant branded bag soon, and write a little more on this great organisation!
