So, I love Kim Kardashian and enjoy watching her family on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, even though I can’t believe that they talk to their parental units like that :-/ Anyways, that’s a completely different issue and unrelated to this post! Lol… Kim K. will be auctioning off some of her items, along those of Black Adonis her boyfriend, Reggie Bush. A percentage of the proceeds will benefit one of Kim’s fave foundations, the Dream [...]
While checking my email last night, I received a notice from ThisNext about a LA organization dedicated to providing prom dresses for area teens who can’t afford a gown for their special night. LA’s Prom Closet not only provides gowns, they also host workshops on etiquette, self-esteem, and makeup application for the young ladies! If you don’t have any gowns to donate, consider another in-kind donation (i.e. tailoring services, a steamer, etc) or a monetary [...]

For all of my Facebook people, The Fabulous Giver has a Facebook page! Are you [...]

For every Brow Marker purchased, Laura Geller donates $1 to Joan’s Legacy: Uniting Against Lung Cancer. Joan’s Legacy is committed to fight lung cancer by funding innovative research and [...]
Morning, folks! It’s supposed to be in the mid-60s and even in the 70s tomorrow here in Chicago! I’m so so so excited to get a little taste of the springlike temps. I’m on my way to the MS Society to put in a few hours, so I’m going to keep this post pretty short and to the point! It’s a beautiful day, not only because of the weather but because we’re alive! Let’s make [...]
