Ways You Can Celebrate International Women's Day #IWD2016

International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Visit www.internationalwomensday.com for more information on this global project.

Here are the 6 tenets for 2016:

Help women and girls achieve their ambitions
Challenge conscious and unconscious bias
Call for gender-based leadership
Value everyone's contributions equally
Create inclusive, flexible cultures
Further gender parity resources

I've chosen to help women and girls achieve their ambitions.

Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada. Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila. The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!!
