A Chocolate Affair!

A beautiful thing is happening this Friday evening! We are combining chocolate, charity, and makeup all in one night! The Beauty Loft Tallahassee is sponsoring "A Chocolate Affair," a dessert competition where proceeds go to the one and only Covenant Hospice! We will be sampling desserts, pastries, and chocolates from Tallahassee area bakeries, restaurants, and catering companies, then voting on our favorite dessert (I am sure that it is going to be a challenge!) We have donated a large gift bag filled with goodies for the silent auction winner! What better combination could there be? Buy your tickets now for a chance to bid on our basket, eat fabulous food, support local business, and to be rewarded by giving your time and generous donations!

Power Of The Purse

On Wednesday, The Beauty Loft Tallahassee sponsored the Power Of The Purse United Way Fundraiser! We set up a table in the gorgeous FSU Alumni Association Grand Ballroom in support of teaching homeless women and children about various aspects of health. There was a "purse swap" where members and volunteers brought one purse that they wanted to recycle and for $10 they could choose to bring home another member's purse! There were over 100 women in attendance, all interested in all areas of their community; from local businesses to the project at hand: Homelessness to Health. Good job ladies! There is nothing more rewarding than volunteering your time, and nothing more savvy than being "in the know." Thank you for letting The Beauty Loft be a part of this organization this year!

Colorstong Charity Event

Last weekend The Beauty Loft Tallahassee sponsored the Colorstrong Fashion Show; an event that is in support of the Refuge House here in Tallahassee. We raised money to support women who have been raped and abused and have no other place to go. It was so rewarding to meet women who have lived at Refuge House, and have moved on to full time jobs, supportive relationships, and their own apartments. It was very much a "You go girl!" moment. Here are some pictures that I have received from one of the photogs that was there, and there will be more to come!
