The Christmas season makes me want to do a little more in the charity department. Sure I like to volunteer during any other season but, the holidays makes you want to go the extra mile.
While roaming online looking for some volunteer work, I happened to come across an organization that warmed my heart (and my cosmetics bag). The Beauty Bus Foundation is a group of volunteers ranging anywhere from professional stylists to just well-meaning do-gooders who want to lend a helping hand and listening ear to those who are effected by illness.
"The Beauty Bus Foundation was founded in loving memory of Melissa Marantz Nealy who lost her battle with a degenerative neuromuscular disease at the age of 28. Melissa was a girly-girl who loved a good day at the spa. When her ability to leave the home became compromised, Co-Founder Alicia Marantz Liotta, Melissa’s cousin, was able to schedule in-home beauty services through her connections within the beauty industry. Witnessing the hope, happiness and respite these services brought to Melissa, Alicia and Co-Founder Wendy Marantz Levine, Melissa’s sister, were inspired to launch Beauty Bus Foundation to bring the same lift and gift of beauty to others."
I have to admit that when I'm down, a bit of pampering does lift the spirit, which is why I'm in love with the idea of brightening someone's day with beauty. To some this may seem a bit superficial and vain, but it's true. Sometimes what's on the outside can have a role about how we feel on the inside. So with this being said, I'm setting out to help out Beauty Bus. I'll tell you how it goes.
