The Chris Canty Foundation

For the past six years, the Chris Canty Foundation has been a vital part of the community and has served nearly 5,000 youth through multiple programs including donating books, toys, and learning materials to almost 2,000 elementary and middle school students. The Chris Canty Foundation has hosted over 1,500 boys and girls at their annual Camp of Champions with instructional and life skills lectures to highlight the importance of teamwork, communication and sportsmanship while also stressing the importance of receiving a quality education.

Our fundraising efforts help to positively impact the lives of Charlotte’s youth, one child at a time.

I’m very proud to be on the Leadership Advisory Board for this wonderful organization and urge you to visit their website at www.chriscantyfoundation.org today.  If their mission appeals to you, please consider joining me by donating to this important cause.  Thanks!

True Beauty

We all know that there are all kinds of beauty. Some are blessed with physical beauty, others with a beautiful mind, and still others with a beautiful spirit. Author, educator, actress, producer and poet Maya Angelou possessed all of these. She lived a long and full life, yet many of us who admire her and her work are saddened at her passing yesterday at the age of 86.

I especially love her poetry. Her rich and powerful words resonate with so many of us, regardless of any perceived cultural, religious or economic differences. Phenomenal Woman, one of her most well-known works, is one of my favorites because in it she reminds us that all women are beautiful:

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

~Maya Angelou

Sharply Shredded: Fashion on a Mission

On one of my recent It’s a Glam Thing beauty segments for Charlotte Today, I had the chance to meet a young lady who has found a way to combine two of her passions: fashion design and helping her community. Sharply Shredded is a brand new and totally cool clothing line founded by Charlotte designer Alexandra Evans. What makes her line unique is that every piece is hand shredded and woven into different designs, ensuring that no two are ever the same. So if you have one of her shirts, rest assured that you’ll never run into someone else wearing the same thing.  Here’s mine!:

SharplyShredded

But another aspect of this company that makes it even more unique is its commitment to supporting and  making a difference in the community. Working closely with local homeless shelters and ministries to help provide job opportunities for those down on their luck, Sharply Shredded hires less fortunate and displaced men and women to help produce their merchandise.  So in turn, the sales of these items directly benefit the employees by enabling them to provide for their families.  Sounds great to me:)

A Little LUSH Love for the New Year

Happy New Year!  I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday and are looking forward to 2014 as much as I am!

With the new year, I have a new love.  I tried a wonderful new soap from one of my favorite beauty companies over the holidays.  LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics are made from fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, the finest essentials and safe synthetics.  There are no preservatives and no animal testing  of their products or ingredients.

sultana

My newest  favorite is their Sultana of Soap.  I’m usually not a big fan of soap because most that I’ve tried are really drying to the skin, but this is the creamiest and most amazing soap I have ever tried!

You’ll notice the difference immediately.  It actually looks like something you could eat.  The bergamot and olibanum scent is perfect for a luxurious, relaxing shower or bath and it leaves your skin super soft and feeling great.

Just walking into a LUSH store is a treat for the senses!  Drop by one and check it out or shop online at www.LushUSA.com

And while you’re shopping, be sure to pick up one of their Charity Pots.  100% of the price (minus the tax) goes to organizations that support environmental conservation, animal welfare and human rights.
