Spring has Sprung at Mefie!

Spring has Sprung at Mefie with March Madness

Although many are still suffering with snow in North America and rain across the UK, March is generally known as the beginning of spring.  March also marks the beginning of the American basketball playoffs known as March Madness. This year at Mefie, we have decided to run our own March Madness campaigns.  

Throughout the month of March we will host a series of online events with bloggers from around the world.  Adjunct to the online events, we will run give-aways and discount codes to coincide with the other promotional activities which will happen throughout the month. 

To keep abreast of all of our contests follow us on our social media accounts:

FairTrade Fortnight....the story of Foncho   The 24th of February marked the beginning of FairTrade Fortnight.  As an ethical brand we wanted to inform our readers about the initiative for 2014.  This year the Fair Trade organization has launched a campaign to ensure equality in the banana trade and fare wages for farmers.  The campaign highlights issues with UK supermarkets, where the price of bananas has almost halved in the last 10 years.  Hence, the cost of a banana has been reduced from approximately 20p per banana to 11p per banana.   This reduction in price has lead to the depression in wages for farmers and in turn means that many farmers remain in poverty. To find out more about the campaign go to the FairTrade website http://bit.ly/1bTgGCs
