Beauty Gives Back For #WinkDay

Wink If You're With Us

Cancer is something that has touched our lives.  That is why I have always supported causes in my community to help in the fight against it.  When I made the video below on Monday, I had no idea that Tuesday I would get some news that would change everything for one member of my family.  While I don't have the full story yet, the idea of what might happen weighs very heavy on me as I am typing this post.  Yet it will not stop me from encouraging others to support everyone fighting to beat the cancer blues.

Paint your eyes blue to support women suffering from cancer blues. Create a video like this one and encourage your friends to do the same. Visit http://beautygivesback.ca
for details.

ABOUT #WINKDAY

On June 18, 2015, the beauty industry will be encouraging women to buy a blue eyeliner/eye shadow, and for one day, to colour their eyes blue in support of women going through the emotional trauma of the Cancer Blues. The Cancer Blues - a term for the emotional distress caused by cancer and its treatment is an oft-ignored consequence of the disease that can affect a woman's ability to fight and endure through this difficult ordeal. Isn't it time to help?

Terrific TOMS

Being on the Movember KW committee since it's inception we are very aware of the good works done by TOMS. 



So you can guess how excited we were to hear about the #TOMSforTarget initiative to support Canadian families in need.



For each item purchased from TOMS x Target collection from 11.16.2014 – 03.12.2015 in Target Canada stores, Target Canada will be donating funds to The Canadian Red Cross and Food Banks Of Canada. You can read more about it on their TOMS for Target website.

Here are some of the great TOMS items available at Target Canada and you can see just how much of a difference purchasing these items can make.

Those2Girls Meet Ross Mathews

I've been a big fan of Ross Mathews ever since his days on Jay Leno and as you can see from his interviews in the video below, Ross Mathews has been a long time fan of Target (check it out at the 5 minute mark)!

Setting A Tone For The Season At Target Canada's #SeasonsTweetings

There was so much going! We made sure to cover all facets of the event taking place. 


There were celebrity sightings

and lots of holiday themed activities!

 

 

 

We also had time to chat with the SVP of Target Canada to learn about their experiences over the past couple of years and what we can expect from the company moving forward.

And while we may have been busy covering the event, that didn't stop us from shopping afterwards!  Let's just say that this cardigan came from the shopping portion of the event and when I arrived home I was thrilled to find out that Marsala (wine tone) was announced as Pantone's Colour Of The Year for 2015.  So yes I am already on trend for the new year thanks to Target Canada!
