YES!!! I got the job! I cant wait to start!
I"ve been using MAC makeup for about 7 years and after high school I went to Make-Up school, which gave me 40% off all products. I LOVE MAC! I think maybe it's because of their dramatic and wide range of colors and of course quality. I love braight colors, maybe it's because I've always been an artist. Well I shop there a lot, probably twice a month, sometimes more. I'm not sure if any of you know this, but if you bring back any 6 empty MAC products, MAC actually recycles it and in return gives you lipstick, lip gloss, or eyeshadow, your pick and for FREE! Pretty neat huh! So ladies, start collecting your empty foundations, powders, eye shadows, mascara, ect! That's what I did today, I had about 17 empty products, its a shame not 18, I could have gotten 3 free lipsticks =/ but I got 2 =)
Mac does alot of fun raisers, sometimes to donate to charities and other times for awareness, so be on the look out girls.
I wanted to remind you all that tomorrow is the event at the Sunset, House of Blues for the NOH8 campaign. This campaign is for equal rights and gay marriages. It's divided into 2 different sections. One being the photoshoot which I wanted to do for so long, but I just found out that its $40 which I personally think is a lot, so now I'm not too sure I'm gonna do it. You can also do a group photo $25 a person. Thats at 6:30pm and information is on their site. Then at 7:30pm there is the California Entertainer of the Year, which I'm not really sure what it is, I tried looking it up but didnt find much, all I know is that a few celebs will be attending and some how this all relates. The NOH8 open shoot event info:

Day 10
The research continues...
Today I spoke to my brother and found out the name of the book about the crisis in Sudan, it's called "Not On Our Watch" it's also an organization and the founders are Don Cheadle, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, David Pressman and Jerry Weintraub. The author of the book is Don Cheadle. They actually suggest writing President Obama by going on to The White House website! I think I'm actually gonna do this tomorrow! I know most people think that writing is insignificant but its kinda like voting, every vote counts, it all adds up.
I really cant seem to understand why the world isn't doing something to stop this, this should honestly be the global's number one priority!!! I believe that an animistic like act shouldn't be happening in 2010. We, as a world have came a long way let's not stop and not give up! Yesterday I spoke to a dear friend, who's in her 30's and she had no idea this was even going on. Help with me to cause awareness the more I read about this, the more it breaks my heart. If you are interested in actually writing President Obama about the matter the link is at the bottom of the page.
Today I also found out more information about the specific volunteer program I want to join, which I have till the end of the week to decide on. The program is 5 months and will start in March, so for the meantime I decided to look for a part time job that would be related to my project. So I went on a job interview today at this brand new place that opened up in Encino, called Salt Chalet. It's actually pretty interesting, helps people and is Eco-Friendly. What it is, is basically a room that's made of 100% salt, the walls, ceiling, and the floor as salt like sand, and it basically helps Adult and Children with breathing problems such as asthma, wheezing, snoring, smoker's cough, skin problems and many more. During the 45-mins treatment session, salt aerosol is scattered into the air for the patients to breathe in. These aerosolized microparticles can penetrate into every corner of the bronchi and deposit upon the surface, destroying bacteria and fungi. PRETTY NEATO! It's a very relaxing atmosper and a beautiful place. Hope I get the job!
Here is more info:
As far as researching goes I found out today about different children's organizations. Some I've never heard about and others I wanted to get more educated about. I think the one that really caught my attention was "Children of the Night" this is a non-profit organization. They assist children between the ages
of 11 and 17 who are forced to prostitute on the streets for food and a place to sleep. AHHHHHH this is just horrible! I take this category of crisis exteremmmly personal, anything that has to do with women being raped or children trafficking I just can't handle. If I had to choice 1 category of which to help the most it would be this. I think also watching the movie Taken had a big effect on me, after watching that movie I had 2 nightmares in one week!
This organization gives these victims a home. Children who first arrive are given the individual attention he or she needs. Youngsters are assigned to private bedrooms if possible (each with its own bath) until they get a chance to settle in, and receive fresh clothing and hygiene kits. Each child is designated a Primary Caseworker who coordinates medical care, psychological care, academic assessments and other social services as needed. Residents follow a highly structured program that includes attending an on-site school. With the help of caseworkers, each youngster formulates a “life plan” and attends independent living classes. This is really an amazing program that seems to really go through everything these children need, I definitely want to volunteer and donate to this organization.
Well turn out Disney is actually doing alot of give aways this year. They are rewarding volunteers with a free pass to Disneyland or Disneyworld with there Give a Day, Get a Disney Day campaign. Children of the Night is one of the many on the list. If your interested in this, you should definitely check it out as well, there is so many different volunteers jobs all over, some only take 2hrs.
My #1 favorable children trafficking organization is love146 but I will speak about them on another day.

Day 5
Today was just a great day!
It was my best friend Morgan's birthday today and every year for both of our birthdays we have this tradition of hanging out with each other the entire day. So today we decided to get our nails done, we left the car in the parking lot and decided to take a walk on the beach which ended up taking us to Venice Beach. We walked around, shopped a little, and got some matching henna tattoos. We came across fun quotes, saw beautiful art and walked. I love just walking, I find it refreshing, maybe thats why I love NYC so much. It doesnt matter where you walk, but walk. Your body needs it and so does Mr.Earth.
While we were there I got a call back from the Ronald McDonald House on the volunteering position. I was so excited and happy! I scheduled to come next Wednesday for training. After training I can come in and volunteer when ever I want! She said that most volunteers greet the new families in and help show them around. I asked about activities like reading to the children and playing with them and she said it was all up to me as what I wanted to do, it can be spontaneous or a big planned event like a Bingo night. I CANT WAIT! I have some serious fun ideas! I'm gonna be the next PATCH ADAMS!!! ;) She told me that these are the illest children in the world and that right across the RMH they have a hospital for emergencies or for daily treatments =( I strongly believe that through joy and laughter you can extend a person's life.
Morgan and I watched the beautiful sunset.
After dropping her off, I went to my interview for the ocean pollution project, which I need to come back to tomorrow morning.
On my way back, I decided to get gas from the Eco-Friendly ARCO gas station on 8770 W. Olympic Blvd. For those of you who have never been there or seen it, it's actually really beautiful! It's all made out of recycled material, it has a futuristic design that's all sliver, rainbow and funky. It's super cute! While your pumping gas, there is a tv screen attached to each station with little facts on how to save gas, energy and more. I actually read about this yesterday in my environmental book that if you cleaned out your car with all the things you have in the trunk or backseat, you can actually save 1-2 gallons each time! Now I dont know about you, but I keep an actual closet in my backseat haha, so let's save $ and gas, and clean out our cars.
Also they had little postcards, that were of course made out of recycled paper, it was actually funny feeling paper, but I loved the idea.
One of the postcard said "Activating the sleep mode on your computer uses up to 70% less electricity than using a screen saver." lol I actually read that too in my book yesterday haha. Let's save energy people and our computer's life line!
Another fun fact "Switch to cleaning products that are biodegradable and non toxic. 62% of cleaning products found in the average American home equal 10 gallons of harmful chemicals."
So that was my good deed of the day for our beautiful world!
My best friend and I came up with the idea today of going to P.A.T.H. the homeless shelter and getting some business cards from them and actually passing them around to homeless people!!! I think its a genius idea! PATH actually picks up homeless people off the streets that actually want help. I really need to do this. Especially right now with the economic crisis more people are homeless then ever and its been a cold winter at night this year, so I really want to help as many people as I can.

Day 4
Today I literally spend the entire day researching different organizations.
I woke up and called the Ronald McDonald House to see about volunteering position they have. For those of you who don't know about the RMH, their mission is to provide a home for seriously-ill children and their families. They have provided more than 20,000 families with a place to stay and when necessary, the financial support that they need to make it through a very uncertain time in their lives. THEIR AMAZING! =D
I remember once when I was little, my mom, sister, brother and I, decided to donate our toys to the RMH, and it was also my little sister, Coral's Birthday, so all the present she didn't like we donated as well. We got a tour of the building, it was beautiful and heart breaking as well. This was many many years ago but I will never forget how protective of the children's safety, privacy, and health they were.
I called but once again, no one picked up! I wish I understood this no picking up the phone thing....beats me =/
I kept on researching places that were looking for volunteers, jobs for non-profit orgs, and trying to cause awareness, along with filling up my planner with different events coming up.
An organization that I'm very interested in helping is NOH8. It kinda became trendy now with many celebs which is kinda like blahhh but NOH8 stand for equal rights and trying to overturn Prop 8. In the past 10 years, Equality California has worked with the Legislature and the courts to ensure that all loving and committed couples have the right to marry in California. I'm sorry to say but I LOVE THE GAYS & LESBIANS!!! First of all one of my all time favorite shows was The L Word. The L word was a show about a group of close friends who were lesbians, it was the Sex & the City for the Lesbian community. Watching the show for 6 season really made you understand the things these group of women have to go through.
I believe in LOVE. Without love there would be no happiness. I believe that some gay/lesbian couple could make greater parents then some of the actually "normal" couples out there. I don't think its anyone's business but theirs if they want to be married. Who is anyone to choose the fate of these peoples life? America is suppose to be the land of the free! So I think it's important to be more open minded and show the rest of the world, that love is, LOVE. Love your daughter, son, father, mother, sister, brother, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband and wife no matter their gender! Let them have their rights.
NOH8 is having a open shoot event for the cause on:
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010
The House of Blues 6PM-8PM
8430 West Sunset Boulevard
Thursday, January 14th, 2010
The Yogurt Stop 5:30PM-8:30PM
8803 Santa Monica Boulevard
Their campaign are pretty cool looking. I love the art and creativity in it. So go! Have fun! Get a neat picture taken of you! and help support a good cause! I'm going Jan.12th!
After lots of research I ended up apply for a job that's working on a Campaign to stop ocean pollution. Funny enough, I posted about that a few days ago. Right now an island of trash twice the size of Texas is floating in the Pacific. This mass of bottle tops and takeout food containers kills thousands of marine animals like sea turtles and over a million birds every year.
I filled out an application, one of the questions on it asked, why you want to work with us. I wrote them about my project and about 10mins later I got a phone call back from them!!! YAYYYY! I have an interview tomorrow at 6pm! This is exciting stuff!
I'm also looking to work at a foreign country, just trying to find a good date for me, which country I want to help first, and the cause I'm most interested in.
So since I kinda sat at home all day, and although I suppose, I did "something" for the world, I felt like it wasn't good enough. I have this new theory, that its NOT the thought that counts, its the action that counts! So I donated $5 to The UNICEF Tap Project. I found out about this project, surprisingly enough, on Nicole Richie website. The love Nicole Richie she did some serious self evaluation and cleaned up well and now is very involved in many charities and opened one with her boyfriend Joel Madden from Good Charlotte.
Right now over 4,000 children die every day from not having clean water. Donating $1 can supply a child with safe drinking water for 40days. That's wonderful!!! COME ON PEOPLE A $1! In most places a bottle water is a $1 and that lasts us what? a day? if not a few hours. Help a child in need!
xoxo have a wonderful day or night!
