Did you know that October is Fair Trade Month? Yup, it's quickly becoming one of the top causes on my philanthropy list. October is a month to celebrate the farmers and workers who produce the products we indulge in everyday -- that sweet treat, that cup of coffee -- all of it benefits diverse communities all over the world.

Read MoreIt's a busy time of year. We've been lapping up parks, birthdays, new coffee spots and Fall fashion. Oh! And school starts next week! It's a small increment of time but I've been feeling like a chicken with my head cut off. Here's a glimpse into my week:
