FRONT LINE FRIDAY with Caitlin Abshier

It's FRONT LINE FRIDAY! I am excited to introduce you to the founder and soaper of Revive Your Bath, Caitlin Abshier. Caitlin was working her booth at a street festival when I stumbled upon her.

What does the “X” mean?

Have you noticed people with a giant red X on their hand today? Do you have any idea what it represents? It is a statement. It is a declaration. It says, I'm in it to end it!" What is "it"? Modern day slavery. Seriously? Didn't we abolish slavery in the 1800s with the Emancipation Proclamation? Some estimate there are 27 million held in slavery today. Others say that number is too low. The Washington Post reported there are 30 million slaves in the world today and 600,000 of them are located in the United States. How is that possible? How [...]

They have a minimal cover charge to cover the food and help them raise funds for the movement. There will be three different bands playing and I'll share about the issue and how people can get involved. Their hope [...]
