Thoughtful Thursday

Many of us have had our minds on what we can continue to do to help the people of Haiti. We've made donations, we continue to think about and pray for those who still need help, and yet we fill we want to do more. Many of us would fly down there asap to help in bringing aid to those in need of it and to comfort those that need it.

Through our affiliates Twilight Moms & Eve's Garden, we've found a way we can continue to help in donations to help.







Mixology Make Up http://www.mixologymakeup.com/ is sponsoring a wonderful drive to help send money to Haiti.

Here's what they're doing. For every one $1 make up pod (sample) that is bought, they are donating that $1 to a Haiti Relief Fund through Samaritan’s Purse. You can find out more and purchase the pod here:
