The Importance of Giving Back, Day Two

Every day this week, myself, along with other bloggers/content creators are banding together to show why it's important to each and every one of us to "give back". Giving back to your community or causes that are important to you and your family is something that not only leaves you feeling good but truly can make an impact in people's lives. We've all pooled together our own money to make donations to a different, very worthwhile charity each day this week. We aren't millionaires and we can all certainly say that we are busy but we thought it was important at this time of year to show that being charitable isn't something we do to be stylish, it's something we do because we care about others less fortunate than we are. Along with our donations, we encourage you to make small donations yourself (just click on through) because every little but counts. We promise, it will make you feel awesome... and because we like to have a little fun as well, there's a giveaway each day! You heard me- each day, a fantastic brand, who believed this was an amazingly cool and worthy project is offering up a giveaway to the readers who visited to learn about a great charity, some fabulous ladies and a cool brand. Today we are teaming up with Blue Sky Planners to support Save the Children! Make sure to click through each gal's picture to visit their site and maybe give them a shout out for being so awesome!

Today's donation was made to Save the Children. Save the Children invests in childhood, every single day. Geesh, I might start crying as I type this. They invest not only in times of crisis but for our future as well. In the United States and around the World, they aim to give children a healthy start, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. They look to change the course of children's lives to transform their future and ours. They reach 185 million children worldwide. That is AMAZING. You can donate or even sponsor a child in the US or abroad if that is something the moves you more.

So what else is amazing about this series? Besides the amazing women and their commitments to giving back? We're working with brands who wanted to be involved because, well, they are awesome too and wanted to get in on the fun of spreading good cheer, good vibes and bringing attention to charities that we've personally donated to! Today, Blue Sky Planners has offered up a personalized planner or notebook to three readers!

Blue Sky Planners is gearing up for keeping us organized in the coming New Year, which I know I can use help with for sure! The team over there isn't just offering one planner up, they want three readers to get their business organized. I'm so excited to share them with you (I've got one of my own) and I wish you the best of luck in winning one! Enter in the Rafflecopter below, open to US/Canada residents. Giveaway closes 12/12.
