Sseko Sandals - New Arrival!

Sseko \say-ko\ Designs was created to help young women in Uganda continue their education. The Ugandan school system is designed with a nine month gap between secondary school and university. These nine months are intended to allow time for students to earn money for tuition before continuing on to university. However, in an impoverished and male dominated society, many of these young women struggle to find fair work during this time.

Here are pictures of some of the women who make the sandals...

Come buy your pair today and support these women!

1 pair (1 set of straps included): $48

extra strap: $10

Craving Healthy Eating?

At Roots, we love healthy eating but find it hard in Waco to find restaurants that aid this lifestyle.
BUT...Alas, there is hope. They have come.
And it won't cost you an arm and a leg.

Han Ashley is the Epicurean Chef who makes organically gluten-free delightful treasures.
She makes her food at Jakarta Hut, located next to the Phoenix (and behind Ninfas).
The girls at Roots ate it today and could not be more excited to tell you: YOU MUST GO!

Tuesday through Friday you can get super healthy food from 11-2 for lunch for ONLY 5 BUCKS A PLATE! Today, we had Curry Quinoa Eggplant with Kale. So yummy.

Their menu changes week to week.

Happy Healthy Eating!
