A How-to-Guide to Getting Through the Day and Enjoying Your Weekend
Welcome! My name is Tai. I am a new mother who is in the process of building a website/organization for young mothers.
Objective: Jeans and Coffee is a website for the everyday mom who needs suggestions on where to get a quick coffee fix, an inexpensive pair of cute jeans, and in-the-know about weekend hot spots. Don't leave out the kids, because we don't. We also offer advice on parenting, information about learning toys that help develop your child's mind, and cool arts and craft ideas that are easy to do with your little ones. Whether spending a night out on the town or snuggled up with a good book, we've got just what you need!
Although, the main focus of this website/organization is geared towards mothers, there is something for everyone.
I hope to one day become recognized for the great contributions that this organization will offer. My plan is to give back, through workshops that focuses on issues concerning Education, Women empowerment, Political issues, and Health. My vision is to help other mothers become better women, mothers, and leaders. I thank you for your support. Enjoy!

Stars like Katie Holmes and Reese Witherspoon already love Lucy B.'s organic beauty products.

Pangea's all-in-one mask cleans, detoxifies, exfoliates, moisturizes and tones using only fine organic ingredients like acai, goji berry and matcha tea. Every part of the company's production process keeps the earth in mind – just plant the seed-infused paper your mask is boxed in and grow fresh edible herbs!
