Smell This and Feel Better With Smell This Aromatherapy Scent Bar
The room smelled amazing! Beauty Night participants got to create their own “pure” fume of essential oils. Nicole and Arline from Smell This Aromatherapy guided our participants to create their own scents. Names such as “Tyla” (after participant’s favourite volunteer), “My Own Creation”, and “hope” were some “pure” fume names.

Barefoot & Bubbly: #Pedis4cause
The Month of May wrapped with a splash. Barefoot Wines and Absolute Spa Group hosted a party at English Bay Boathouse. Those who attended the private event were treated to wine, pedicures and wonderful appetizers. Hosted by Urban Rush’s Fiona Forbes, attendees were encourages to tweet about the party using the hash tag #pedis4cause. For each tweet a donation from Barefoot Wine was given to our cause. It was an amazing night where we got to connect with so many people who support our cause. Compliments of Dianne Chow, here are some photos from the event. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.387337544660106.84488.141445145916015&type=1
Queen Elizabeth Secondary Students Aim to Win $5000 for our Cause
Cross your fingers, our friends from Queen Elizabeth Secondary made phase 2 for the YPI Cares contest with their presentation of Beauty Night. If they win, YPI Cares will donate $5000 for our cause. YPI is an initiative where grade 10 students create a presentation about the charity of choice. If chosen, the charity of choice will be given $5000. Each school is able to chose a recipient.

Last year, students from Bal Moral Secondary School (Carson Graham) won the YPI Cares for their school. This the video they created last year. http://youtu.be/VtRzHEJq1jY

The support did not stop there. One of our Bal Moral supporters, Terry-Dayne Beasley donated his birthday money to our cause. His mother and sister now volunteer for us too.

Upcoming Events:
The next few weeks promise to be busy and exciting time. Although our AGM is June 19th, there are many many ways you can support our cause. Tell your friends. Please share events on facebook, twitter, linked in. Come to events - great way to connect with other volunteers and to support our cause.
