Posted on November 10, 2015 | Filed Under: Social Good | Tags: Cheeky Paper Products, Eat Drink Think, Feeding America, social good | Leave a Comment

Who knew that a product that is used in my household on a weekly basis would be so revolutionary? To be honest with you, when I first saw Cheeky paper plates at Target, I thought wow, what cute patterns but I'll just stick with my "XYZ brand" of paper plates.

Posted on October 28, 2014 | Filed Under: Social Good | Tags: Mission Belt, no holes belt, social good | Leave a Comment

Product was provided for this post as part of an opportunity with The Brand Connection. All opinions expressed are my own. My husband rotates between two belts on a regular basis with his office slacks, jeans & cargo shorts. Since he has lost about 15-20 pounds in the last year, he has had to cinch up his belt even more, getting down to the last belt hole. It was looking like he’d need a new belt at a different belt size. That’s when I … [Read more...]

Alex Lemonade Stand – Fighting to Cure Childhood Cancer #OneCupAtATime

Posted on May 29, 2014 | Filed Under: Social Good | Tags: Alex Lemonade Stand Foundation, giveaway, Lemonade Days, social good | 2 Comments

Earlier this month, I worked at a charity event where the proceeds went towards breast cancer research. I found the whole event incredibly moving. Next month I will take part in another event, fundraising for the Alex Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). Did you know that this summer will mark 10 years since 8-year-old Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1996-2004) challenged the nation to help her raise $1 million for childhood cancer cures, one cup of … [Read more...]
