On this Thanksgiving, I wish you the warmth of family and the love of those closest to you. Before the craziness that is “Black Friday” approaches, take a moment to be thankful for all that you have….because even if you miss out on the MAC’s Pink Friday Nicki Manaj lipstick, you’re still one fortunate chica!
I’ll start: I am incredibly thankful for the love and support of my family. I have a loving husband, mother, grandmothers, and more than a handful of special aunts, uncles, and cousins who all live within a few miles of my home…which means I can get a home-cooked meal at pretty much a moment’s notice. Thanks to my brother and sister-in-law, I have two beautiful nieces…as well as many nieces and nephews from my husband’s side. I have wonderful in-laws who are super duper funny and supportive and have become my dear friends. Speaking of friends, I have some of THE BEST girlfriends ever…you ladies out there who are all…”I can’t stand women, I don’t have women friends”…IMHO, you are missing out on some incredible sisterhood (I may have just lost a few readers with that one, but I have to keep it real!) I have a roof over my head…that we own, might I add! This lil ol Beauty Girl from Newark, New Jersey is truly blessed!
A fellow Beauty Blogger, Shannon Nelson, reached out to a bunch of us to coordinate “Beauty Bloggers for Good”. Here’s what the project involves:
- A big empty box
- Unused samples/beauty products
- A commitment to put said samples into said empty box
- Donate the overflowing box to your local domestic violence shelter by Nov. 24
- Write a blog post set to publish on November 25th
- Link to all of the other Beauty Bloggers who are participating
And away we go….
Here is my box, overflowing with beauty products. Today I will give out the products as I serve food to the homeless in Military Park in Newark, NJ.
Thank you Shannon for thinking up this wonderful project. And thank you to all of the Beauty Girls involved. Check out their blogs/ “Beauty Bloggers for Good” posts:
