Press Release: Shop for a Cause with Glamourbox Gives Back

Hey guys!

Glamourbox has teamed up with Eye of Horus to help our fellow Kababayans. It has been a year since the super typhoon Yolanda struck the country and until now, we're still recovering from it. The people who became victims of this typhoon still need as much help as possible and I'm happy to share with all of you that one of our favorite subscription boxes has teamed up with Eye of Horus and It-Ain't-Nothing (an Australian non-profit org) to support 50 Filipino Families and build 50 homes. Check out the press release below.


 Glamourbox Gives Back 

It’s been a year since Typhoon Yolanda devastated the country. And while there are those who have managed to shake off the dust, pick up the pieces, and move on, there are still a number of people out there who are in dire need of our help. 

Australia-based non-profit organization It Ain’t Nothing recognizes this, and has made it their mission to build 50 homes in typhoon-hit Malapascua Island, where many are still living in makeshift shelters as a means of getting by. Hence, It Ain’t Nothing’s goal is to raise $50,000 in continuing efforts to provide permanent homes for 50 families, with one house valued at $1,000 each. The good news is that as of October this year, 28 homes have already been built. But they are still halfway from hitting their target, and now, you can get your chance to help out and get involved. 
Glamourbox believes that beauty is as beauty does, so it has partnered with one of its exclusive beauty brands, Eye of Horus Australia, to raise funds for this worthy endeavor. On November 7 - 8, 2014, both Glamourbox (www.glamourbox.ph) and Eye of Horus Australia (www.eyeofhorus.com.au) will be selling special Eye of Horus gift packs on their respective websites simultaneously, with proceeds going towards building homes in support of It Ain’t Nothing’s cause. 

The gift packs are available for P2,000 each of which will contain Eye of Horus’ line of coveted beauty products: Goddess Mascara, Scarab Sapphire Goddess Pencil, Liquid Define Liner, and Sharpener, plus a free gift. These products are valued at over P3,000. And the best part about it is that you know your purchase is going towards putting a roof over a deserving family’s head—making you look and feel good, while you’re at it. 



 To boost fundraising efforts, Amy Lennane of Eye of Horus Australia will personally be flying in to the Philippines on the first week of November, she will be talking more about the great work that It Ain’t Nothing is doing as well as creating awareness for the cause. Together, Glamourbox and Eye of Horus are aiming to raise at least $4,000, all of which will go towards building four homes for those in need. 

It’s time for Glambabes to get involved and show our countrymen that we haven’t forgotten about them! So mark your calendars and get ready to shop for a cause, the Glamourbox way.

Package of Hope from Goods.Ph and the Philippine Red Cross

Hello everyone,

It has been more than two weeks since the unfortunate event caused by typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda. It's the strongest typhoon that hit landfall ever recorded and the areas affected were completely devastated. Whenever I watch the news, I can't help but get teary-eyed as I watch my fellow Filipinos experience so much pain and desperation.

I try to do my part and donate as much as I can. It's not much compared to what they've lost but even a little help from each of us can lessen the hunger and help them start anew. There are many ways to share your blessings to the ones in the Visayas. One of them is donating online via www.goods.ph. They partnered with the Philippine Red Cross to help our suffering kababayans by sending relief good packages.

Send a Package of Hope to the Yolanda victims by purchasing Relief Goods online through Goods.Ph and they will send your donations directly to the Philippine Red Cross National HQ. Visit www.goods.ph and be the candle in the dark and light the way and provide Hope and Save a Life.


All purchased donations will be delivered to the National Headquarters of the Philippine Red Cross.

There are other ways to help too besides donating like help in packing the relief goods. I know many private sectors are in need of man power to do this. I'm gonna go to UST this weekend to help.

I encourage everyone to help. Make this coming Christmas more meaningful.

Cheers,
DAWN
