After many years of blogging, I often get requests for people wanting me to promote their product with my words. Which still amazes me. You never know what is going to come from this brain of mine. Also, I was a Biology major. I don't even remember the last time I took any sort of English class. Grammar what?

After many years of blogging, you also acquire an awesome arsenal of blog buddies. When your blog buddies pursue their dreams of owning their own biz, you totally use your words to tell the world. That's what I'm doing today.

My buddy, Jen, has opened her own shop, Paisley Print Boutique. Her mission is to create a marketplace that carries only high quality, beautiful products where consumers can be confident that their purchases are making a difference. Some of the products carried at Paisley Print Boutique help women in Africa go to college, provide rehabilitation to survivors of human trafficking or provide jobs to marginalized women in India.

Paisley Print Boutique has a variety of items from jewelry to scarves to running apparel to journals and greeting cards. Each organization that Jen partners with has a different mission but they are all making a difference in their own ways. Each month, Jen picks a different non-profit to donate 10% of sales to.

Jen sent me a little package of Paisley Print Boutique goodies.

I was impressed by the quality of all of the items. The scarf from fashionABLE is definitely one of my new favorites! It's perfect for Spring. I love it paired with new favorite Everlane tees (shameless referral link).

Jen warned me that the earrings from Raven + Lily may be a little more wild than my usual taste. She loves them on the brunette ladies with short hair. I trusted her because her style is impeccable. Ike approved.

To further help spread the word, Jen is offering up two $50 Paisley Print Boutique giveaways to Decor and the Dog readers. You can also save 20% by using the code DecorDogFriend. (You know, if you don't win or can't wait until the giveaway ends. I get it. I bought the necklace below last night.)
