the B. spot

I love to be able to post about the great things that my wonderful industry is doing besides beautifying the world. The beauty industry goes beyond the surface and has a hand in everything from increasing HIV/AIDS awareness, breast cancer awareness to helping women in remote areas of the world make a better life for her and her loved ones.

In this Beauty Has a Heart post, we are highlighting Purple Lab who is participating in “Spa with for a Cure” benefiting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  If you are going to spend $150 to get pampered at the spa, why not let the proceeds go toward a good cause- a cause that will at some point affect everyone reading this post in one way shape or form.  Here are the details…
