Weighing REVEAL Volunteering

Last week I had the pleasure to volunteer at the REVEAL VALENTINE'S MAKEOVER EVENT!

REVEAL is a grassroots movement in New York City that aims to foster uplifting experiences for women healing from domestic violence. 

And that they did!  This group of volunteers, helped to pamper these women who were unfortunately, cruelly taken advantage of at least one time in their lives. 

These handpicked women were pampered with free jewelry, skin care, outfit(s), makeup, hair styling and more! It was one day for them to feel like a queen.  They were also given gift bags to be admired by the stars, filled with items from Revlon, Maybelline, Fructis, Avon and more!

As a host throughout the event, I transferred 4 women from station to station. Each woman was different, and dealing with their struggles in their own unique way.  However, they shared an appreciation for the event, an uplifted spirit within their journey and a smile that I will remember forever.

All that said, I believe what gave me the most joy, was watching the volunteers. These volunteers gave 100%, they worked as a team all for the benefit of others. This is what I admired the most and is the vision that I hope will encourage others to volunteer at a charity of their choice. Give 100% and make others happy, even if it's one day at a time!
