12 Days of Giving- Day Nine

It's the holidays y'all and I have sort of started a tradition where I try to gather some like minded ladies to put some positive vibes out into the world via something that we're doing every day- on our computers, phones, tablets etc. You may remember last year's giving back series here on the blog and we've decided to kick it up a notch for 2017 because in my humble opinion, we need a little more love and kindness this holiday season! Each day we are donating to a specific and worthwhile charity while also celebrating in high style with a brand that we love. It's really about bringing attention to great organizations while also having a little fun! So here's the deal, I've asked my ladies to give me three words that describe how they are blessed. It can be in all their years, just this year, the day they sent me my email. Three words. It's easier said than done when you're really trying to think about how you are fortunate. So before I get to today's ladies, charity and giveaway, I ask you to do the same exercise. What are three words that you would use to describe how you're blessed?

Today we are supporting Lipstick Angels. Lipstick Angels utilizes nurturing beauty services and physical touch to restore, strengthen and protect the dignity, hope and self-respect of seriously ill patients undergoing debilitating treatments such as chemotherapy. Specifically, they provide complimentary, personalized one-on-one beauty and skin care services by professional makeup artists and estheticians at the patient’s bedside or while they are receiving chemotherapy infusions when they are at their most vulnerable. I think that especially when someone is going through something so hard, having to fight through that organizations like this are doing wonderful things to bring normalcy and beauty back into women's lives. We've made a donation to this great organization in the hopes that we can help bring a little beauty into the lives of others this holiday season.

As a clean beauty lover, you know that Credo Beauty is not just on my radar but is a go to when it I'm looking for the brands I know, love and trust. Credo just opened a new location in Boston and to say that I was ecstatic would be an understatement. The Newbury St location is beautiful and chock full of all the beauties that are safe to use and make you feel beautiful. I love that this brand is connected to doing good. They donate 1% of all sales to Lipstick Angels (see above) because they believe in using the power of beauty to heal. Today they've generously offered one reader the opportunity to win their Credo Clean Makeup Kit!
