Let's Celebrate Galantine's Day!

Hi there!

This year is different for me in so many ways. Among the highs and lows I've already experienced I found myself thinking on the last day of January what are my goals? Maybe I SHOULD have made New Year's Resolutions. One New Year resolution, year after year, that comes back on my list is giving back.

It's almost like the gym for me. I go in the beginning but it fades away. Donating money, volunteering my time, I do it and by the end of the year I'm not. How can I make a difference?

Now that it's nearly February and Valentine's Day is on the brain I thought of something we can work on together.

There's a women's Shelter in my neighborhood, Volunteers of America Irving Street Women's Residence. I've donated to them before and they were so appreciative of some makeup bags and unused new makeup samples I got from my Ipsy bag. I want to take that and do bigger and better.

I want to celebrate the 25 women living there for Galantine's Day.

Galantine's Day is February 13th. A little less than 2 weeks away.

In that 2 weeks can we fundraise to put together 25 gift baskets to give 25 women who could use a little help?

If you find it in your heart and can swing it, I am collecting personal gift, donations from you on my PayPal & VENMO account @theninablanco .

With that money I will shop for items needed for these ladies, any extra money at the end, I will donate to the shelters parent company, Volunteers of America.
