Help Others and You Will Always Succeed...

...That's what my dad told me when i shared with him my desire to do more with my business other than just selling clothes. Don't get me wrong, designing and selling my own clothing has been amazing, i love what i do ... but at the end of the day, the poor are still poor, the hungry are still hungry, the abused are still being abused. 

What can i do? People say things like

"You can't help everybody" 

True, but helping even just one can make a world of difference! I decided to commit to donating a portion of my t-shirt earnings to Gentle Hands in the Philippines. It only made sense to start with my home! :) You can read more details on my blog post here or watch the video below:



 For those of you in the Philippines, it would be so cool if you guys visited these children... they will change your life, seriously!

Gentle Hands Auction!

Since we were on the topic of GIVING on my last post, I wanted to let you know about an opportunity for you to give to a cause that's close to my heart. It's close to my heart b/c:

1) It benefits the needy children of Manila, Philippines (my home)

2) One of my fave people & fave photographer, Tracey Heppner, is involved in this cause. (in fact, this is one of the reasons why her family is moving to the Philippines!)

Here's how you can get involved:

GENTLE HANDS (more about what they're about here)
