What we can do to help right now: Paris terror attacks

Beauties, today we had a great post to continue our Makeup Organization 101 series. Part 3.

However, after what happened in Paris on Friday night; the series of what seems to have been coordinated attacks at various venues which included a concert hall, a stadium and a restaurant, killing over 120 people — and becoming the deadliest attacks to hit Paris since World War II. This morning clean makeup brushes just don’t seem that important. So bear with me, there is no time to edit or think through how I can most eloquently convey my thoughts on this tragedy, just time for action. I am not talking about political action or finger pointing or military action right now. I am thinking about the action needed for the people in Paris who are living this pure terror. I think back to the attacks of 9/11 in the U.S. I still remember exactly where I was and what happened that day, that week, that month and I was on the west coast! The affects from these attacks have long time ripple effects, we ourselves have been changed as a society. If you don’t believe me you must not remember flying before 9/11. Before this post gets to wordy I just want to get straight to the point. ACTION.

All we can think to ourselves is what can WE do to help? One of the things Deynece and I have been focusing on this month in our personal life is giving back. It is something we have been trying to do with our blog as well; encouraging #unselfie campaigns, our multiple giveaways, teaming up with other bloggers for giveback link partys, etc. so in light of that, and to battle the feeling of complete helplessness I’ve found the best ways we can help RIGHT.NOW.
