At least once a day, everyday... I try to visit Pinterest to see what goodies lie waiting there for me [and surely thousands of other folks are thinking exactly the same thing]. Anywho, I came across this stellar article about this inspiring young female entrepreneur... and when I say young, I mean 13 years young.
Who by the way, started her business at the ripe old age of 8 years old, uh huh... you read it right, 8. Now although that alone speaks volumes, there's more... what prompted this young prodigy to embark on this journey? Well, it was the realization that not only is the clothing that we wear responsible for some of the allergies many of us suffer from, but the methods used to produce these items, well they are harmful to the environment.
So, this young 'fashionista' created her own line of products [ by that I mean she makes her own stuff ] using only sustainable, environmentally friendly materials.
Oh deary me, I am forgetting to tell you who this young lady is... Maya Shea Penn. For those of you who would like to learn more about this busy little bee, and believe me... she is 'all of that' and so very much more, please follow this link.
Now this is my first post on MMDD... and although it might seem to be a little 'off track', it really isn't. This is about a young, I mean really young person, that is doing everything I want to be doing. Although I am starting much later in life, I also want to embrace a more responsible role by doing whatever I can, whenever I can to protect this 'Absolutely Beautiful Planet' we live on. Thanks Maya... you are my inspiration.
So, to that end... whenever possible I will use items that are seconds, used or hand me downs to create things that I can wear, or use around my home and even share with my family and friends.
And now, my adventure begins... 8o)
