Help Kiehl’s Ensure No Kid Goes Hungry in the USA

This weekend Kiehl’s stores across America have partnered with Share Our Strength, a national nonprofit that is ending childhood hunger in America by connecting children with nutritious food they need to lead healthy, active lives, to launch an event called “Erase Lines, Fill Needs and Ensure that No Kid Goes Hungry in America.”

You can get involved by visiting a Kiehl’s free standing store in your area and donating $1 at the register.  Believe it or not, $1 can feed up to 10 children!  As a thank you, you’ll receive a 10.5 day supply of their Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate.

Unable to visit the store?  You can still participate by donating through the end of the year at Kiehls.com.

I had the wonderful opportunity to partner with Proactiv for their 12 days of Christmas campaign (yes, I know, we’re sooo over Christmas right now but bear with me) and by doing so I was able to donate $200 to my favorite charity  – Women In Need.

Check out the video below to learn more about the campaign, charity and of course, a giveaway!

Celebrate National Women’s Business Week Tory Burch Style

Today begins National Women’s Business Week and as a female entrepreneur myself I’m thrilled to celebrate and announce a foundation that Tory Burch has put together called the Tory Burch Foundation, which offers economic opportunities for women and their families in the United States.

Tory Burch is such an inspiration to me because not only has she created a successful empire for herself, but she’s also helping other talented women by supporting them and giving them the direction and encouragement they need to succeed as well.

The foundations logo is the sunflower (my fave flower!) designed after a pendant her father gave her mother and she uses it in all of the products she designs for the foundation.  Support the foundation or shop the products on the foundation’s site.

I’m giving away two of Tory Burch’s limited edition CD’s that she had made for the foundation featuring songs by Kanye West, Carlos Santana, Wyclef Jean, Willy Deville and more.  Follow me and RT the giveaway today @BeautySweetSpot and a winner will be chosen at random tonight!

Women In Need Gala, A Complete Success

Last night I was honored to attend the annual benefit for Women In Need at the Waldorf Astoria in NYC.  After working with the charity for the past six months and growing closer to the cause, it was miraculaous to see so many people come together in support.

Merdith Vieira hosted the evening, which honored Cindi Leive, Editor-in-Chief of Glamour and Brendan Hoffman, President and CEO of Lord & Taylor.  Both gave powerful speeches, but the most touching talks and presentations were those that came from present and former WIN clients.

The room was decorated with huge portraits of smiling children from the shelters and the balloons you see in the photo above became decorations, but weren’t there when we arrived.  Each of them cost $100 – $1,000 and people generously purchased them as donations.

Women In Need Inspire Through Conversation

Last week I attended an event that Women In Need held called “Conversations with Tina Brown and Alexandra Penney.”  Tina Brown is the Editor In Chief of The Daily Beast and Alexandra Penney just launched a new book called The Bag Lady Papers.

Women In Need provides homeless women and their families of NYC shelter and support throughout hard times and held this event in conjunction with two very successful women to show that homelessness can happen to anyone at any time.  Alexandra Penney, a well known journalist and author was a victim of Bernie Madoff and lost her life savings at the age of 60.
