Beauty Night Celebrates Giving 36,000 Makeovers at With Dignity Masquerade Ball on Nov 2nd

October 22, 2013 by caroline

On Saturday November 2nd, 2013 Heritage Hall will play host to the inaugural With Dignity Masquerade Ball, a fundraiser to benefit local charity Beauty Night Society.

The evening will be a presentation of local art, fashion by Nancy Perreault Collections, pole and pin-up performances, a silent auction, and intriguing costumes. Donations will go to support the Beauty Night’s three programs which aim to help women and youth build self-esteem, live with dignity, and make positive lifestyle choices.

As a prelude to the night’s festivities, the day’s activities also aim to fundraise for the charity. From 11am to 6pm, the Hall will be open for the public to attend a forum called “Skin Salon.” There will be speakers and vendors relating to:

skin health
the ingredients in beauty, body and skin care products
corporate social responsibility
the importance of buying “clean” products

Special guest speaker is author and local women’s health advocate Lorna Vanderheaghe. Entry is by donation.

The concept for the event was the brainchild of two local entrepreneurs in the “clean” beauty industry: Arline Trividic (owner of Smell This Aromatherapy, a local manufacturer of “clean” skin care products) and Estie Gonzalez (owner/operator of Derma Bright Clinic).

Beauty Night Society is celebrating its 36,000th makeover for impoverished women and youth. Monies raised will help them increase the number of makeovers given each week from 250 to 300. ”Currently we have 10 organizations on the wait list who would like us to deliver services to their participants. We are hoping to raise the resources we need to be able to meet the growing need,” says Beauty Night founder Caroline MacGillivray.

Smell This Aromatherapy Visits Beauty Night

January 15, 2013 by caroline

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:
