Team Beauty Night Visits Surrey, New West and Burnaby Monthly

February 1, 2013 By Caroline 2 Comments

On Feb 5th, we begin our monthly Surrey events. Thanks to a partnership with Maxxine Wright, we are able to start offering monthly programming for low income women in Surrey. “In the past 18 months, we have found out many of our participants in the programs we offer in Vancouver’s DTES reside in Burnaby, Surrey and New West. Starting February 2013, we will be offering 1 night of programming each month in each city (Surrey, New West and Burnaby). At our last volunteer meeting in Surrey, our Team Beauty Night members agreed that we would see if we can increase our programming to twice a month after 3 months, three times a month at nine months and 4 times a month within a year. This would be based on developing the resources - volunteer base, donations and community support within each community we offer our services in. Already we have a wait list of community partners who would like to see our programming at their facilities,” explained Beauty Night Founder, Caroline MacGillivray.

If you are interested in joining Team Beauty Night for our events in Surrey, New West or Burnaby, we have a volunteer orientation set up for Sunday, February 17th.

We are looking for dedicated volunteers who can commit to one three hour shift on the first Wednesday of the month. Volunteers must be responsible, self starters, and comfortable working in a Team environment.

We are looking for wellness, health care, and beauty professionals and students who maybe interested in joining Team Beauty Night.

Sunday, February 17th

12pm -2:30pm

13733 92^nd Ave (King George Hwy and 92^nd ave)

Surrey, BC

Please fill in the volunteer application form on our website.

* Orientation is mandatory before volunteering for one of our front line Beauty Night events.

Smell This Aromatherapy Visits Beauty Night

January 15, 2013 By Caroline Leave a Comment

Every month our friends from Smell This visit our Beauty Night ladies. They set up a scent bar. For those who have never been to a scent bar, this is an opportunity to create your own “pure” fume. Smell This brings the essential oils and you are able to create your own scent.

Every month, they visit our Beauty Night ladies. One of my favourite sights is seeing the ladies naming their “pure” fumes. As they sit around the round tables and decide which scents they love the most, they share names. “My Own Creation”, “Heavenly”, and “Tyla” are some of the names of “pure” fumes they created.

While the Scent Bar is in session, our Team Beauty Night volunteers are offering services. Hair cuts, foot care, manicures, mini facials, brow shaping and relaxation massage are some of the services offered by our volunteers. The conversations, the laughter and friendships that blossom during our events are the threads that build the tapestry of our community.

If you would like to join Team Beauty Night, our next volunteer orientations are:

January 27 in Surrey

February 5th in Vancouver
