As recovering shopaholics, we often find ourselves embarrassed by the things we used to shovel into our closets, bathroom drawers, and desks. Cosmetics. Lotions. Perfumes. Jewelry. Home decor. And the clothes — my goodness, the never-ending walk-in closet of clothes. 

In 2010, after spending a few post-college years traveling the world, we began to tire of all of the stuff. We joined forces and decided to start a business based on minimalism, as it relates to environmental issues.

Now, we spend all of our time designing versatile and sustainable clothing — something we never prepared for, but that just feels right. It took a whole lot of Google searches to get ourselves where we are today, but in the process, we inadvertently discovered something amazing: the power of a single woman to change the trajectory of consumerism.

Chocolate maker Ferrero has pledged to eradicate slavery from farms where it sources its cocoa by 2020, as part of a growing movement by the multi-billion dollar industry to clean up its supply chains.

The Italian company, which produces Ferrero Rocher chocolates, Nutella spread and Kinder eggs, follows Nestle and Hershey as the third major chocolate manufacturer to announce new anti-slavery moves since September.

It says it will eradicate child labor and forced adult labor from cocoa plantations it uses by 2020, verified by “independent and credible” third parties. Also, it says it will publish a more detailed progress report this summer and promises improved communication to customers.
