SAVVY BLOGMAS DAY 5 2017

Helloooooooo!

Savvy Blogmas!

Day 5

So, we are starting or certainly planning to indulge ourselves and are probably already overeating and over drinking! Today is all about sparing a thought for those far less fortunate than ourselves. Outside of our comfortable bubble is another world, a bleak world where people are frightened, hungry and lonely.Why not make today the day you do something for them.......

You could;

* pop to your local food bank, homeless or women's shelter and drop in something nice for them to enjoy this Christmas? If you are taking food make sure its non perishable and in date.

* make comfort packs up which include wet wipes, new underwear, comb, dry shampoo, lip balm, sanitary protection...... Whatever you can manage will be gratefully received.

* If you are having a clear out before Christmas you could take coats etc. to a local shelter.

* reserve a place for a homeless single person at Crisis.

I have several links for you today to make the job easier!

Womens Aid - includes directories and much more

Food Bank Help - run by the Trussell Trust. Great easy to use website

Make a comfort pack - how to make comfort packs

Christmas is about love and giving. Whether people donate for selfless or altruistic reasons, the recipients will be incredibly grateful.

So Many Brands So Few Owners

Your Beauty Brand favourites....who owns them? Who owns the beauty brands? photo copyright Janie Smith why it matters...... What do Rimmel, Marc Jacobs Miss Sporty or Bourjois have in common? Or what about Nivea and La Prairie? Yep, you guessed it they are owned by huge umbrella companies. Okay, it is not a secret that very few companies own many beauty brands. There’s a big fat chance that you already know this. Brands move to different companies fairly frequently and there have been some really recent acquisitions. But why you might be asking, does it matter? Well, it might well be working to your advantage! Many umbrella companies have brands covering a range of prices and demographic appeal. But despite there being lots of range they all share the same technology and innovations when it comes to their formulations. If you are a beauty junky it is a win - win situation! Want to know more?
