Animal Rehabilitation Center, Brazil

People know that we love animals so when we went to Sao Paulo we were invited to 2 amazing animal rehabilitation centers. Over our 9-day trip to Brazil, we've met a bunch of really nice people who have dedicated their lives to rehabilitating wild life animals.

These animals arrive at a result of trafficking, fires, hunting, deforestation, urban invasions, and among other reasons, were sent by the Riparian Forest Fire Department, Environmental Police, Municipal Guard, and other institutions.

Many of these animals are treated but cannot be relocated in nature, either for possessing physical injuries as mutilation or the long period in captivity.

However these rehabilitation centers are always in need of more funding so we've decided to do some art to help out the animals! Stay tuned for more info on Monday.

BeautyBloggers.org For Doctors Without Borders- A Beautiful Holiday Auction

Cyber Monday, Cyber December- whatever you planned on purchasing, here's a beautiful and way to score some fabulous and/or rare (sold out, unavailable, limited edition) makeup, perfume and cosmetics items and donate money to one of the worthiest causes and organizations around, Doctors Without Borders. There are some very coveted, collectible and highly desired products on the list (brush sets, palettes, full size skin care bottles and seasonal colors, all donated by bloggers and beauty brands.

BeautyBloggers.org is the collaboration of almost 50 different beauty bloggers and brands brought together by Karla Sugar. In the spirit of the holidays, we wanted to make a meaningful contribution to charity — knowing that the most effective donation to any charity is cash.

So we’re putting our makeup on the auction block. Winning bids will be donated directly to Doctors Without Borders.

We’re raising money for Doctors Without Borders because women are always disproportionately affected in any disaster. This organization is committed to bringing quality medical care to people in crisis, regardless of race, religion, or political affiliation. They treat rape victims in Papua New Guinea; they make sure women don’t die in childbirth in Pakistan; they helped flood victims in Mexico and earthquake victims in Haiti. They work in 65 countries around the world, and your donation will make an immediate impact. Click here to learn more.

Some simple and sensible fine print:

The auction is live now at BeautyBloggers.org, and will close on Monday, December 20 at 5 pm CST

We are asking people to register before they can bid. This is simply to try to discourage "spam" bids. Usernames will be public (because the auction shows the username of the current highest bidder), but first name, last name, and email address will be private.  They will only be used to contact the winning bidders.

International bidders are welcome, too!

I think I want to start my own 365 project.

I admire this girl's initiative to help the children of Akanksha Foundation.

(though i did not really like most of the styling.)
