Beauty is...Doing something good.

I was doing my web surf thing/ research and I found some sites that really impressed me. Weddings are a bit narcissistic. Its all about the couple. If they decide to include their families, Its still their decision. If they want to get married on a roller coaster(which is cool), Its STILL their decision: Its the one day when a bride can be completely about herself(or not) with little apologies. However, I think its really cool when you can take a moment off your self to help others.Here are some sites that I will try to be a part of:

• I'm not adding this because I'm an African. I'm adding this page because I'm a woman and because no women should live the way the women of Darfur have . Stop the Evil in Darfur. Today, tomorrow and yes If you can do it on your wedding day, great.

“We will not shut-up until the raping stops. We will stop the murder, yes we can! We will stop the burning, yes we can! And we won’t shut up until we stop the genocide once and for all, YES WE CAN!” -Rev Gloria http://www.savedarfur.org/content

• Donate My Dress. org- Give your dress and your bridesmaid dress to other gals who can't afford a dress to wear at their prom. Girl another lady a magical night or at least dress!

• Donate your gown to Breast Cancer Research. My Grandma died from breast cancer and although we weren't really that close. I still miss her. Its important to fight against a disease that has killed millions of women just like you. There is a cure out there, we just need to find it. Donate your dress:

• I am a pink kind of lady. I wasn't before it kind of creeped up on me and one morning I was like "Honey, I want a pink wedding" so of course I'm down with the Pink Envelope Project idea. I love the idea of giving someone who has only a little time to live a piece of heaven on earth. Check out the beautiful world of beautiful people and learn how you can help:

• GO Green! Climate change is REAL folks! Fish, animals and people are dying due to climate change. The endangered species list keeps on increasing. Weddings are extremely wasteful. So make a change for the better:

• Make a donation to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence or to a local shelter. Why? Because it could save a someones life:

http://www.ncadv.org/ There are tons of good things you can do on your day! There is really no excuse not to do something good. Whether you are having the biggest bash or just going to the justice of the peace and having a dinner afterwards, you can make a donation little or big to your favorite causes.
