I am writing this with a full heart to say a BIG thank you for helping make our “Pouches with Purpose” initiative such a huge success.

It is because of all of you that we were able to donate 100 pouches filled with safe, clean, healthy products to the cancer patients at Norma Pfriem Breast Center in Connecticut. There is no greater gift than giving back to others. To be able to help someone else less fortunate than us is what makes this world a better place.

One important reminder that I kept thinking about when we were giving out the pouches to these cancer patients, is that our health is what matters the most. I am so grateful for my health. We all need to help others who are having a health crisis. I hope we can all have the mindset of supporting others, helping others, lifting others up, encouraging others, being there for others who needs us—sometimes, all it takes is a hug.

To see the smiles on these womens’ faces was so heartwarming. To help others in our local community is so rewarding!

A special thank you to the following amazing women at Norma Pfriem Breast Center in Fairfield County, CT: Donna Twist, Kristen Staikos, Amanda Borst, Mari-Jo Gordon, Patricia Poniros, Marlene Battista and Kaitlyn Hough.

And also a special thank you to the following super stars of Beautycounter for their partnership: Emily Voss, Kelly Buck, Rosie Parent, Sarah Philippon, Anna Glennon, Novelyn Aquino, Rebecca Lamvol, Erin Morey, Bridget Tsilfides and Kristine Gardner.

I also want to say thank you to our friends at the local TV station who came to cover our event. Thank you to News 12 Connecticut for being there to capture this special moment for all of us.

To the warriors out there fighting the fight, please know we have your back. Here’s to our movement for better beauty!

With love and gratitude,
