Look Good Feel Better

I heart Heidi

As if perfection wasn't enough Heidi Klum has an amazing heart.
Heidi was recently at a press conference for DKMS Life and Douglas Cosmetics. DKMS Life is very similar to theLook Good Feel Better Campaign(LGFB) we have in the US. If you haven't heard of either organization, they host workshops to teach women with cancer how to put makeup on. I know it sounds vain but looking good does make you feel better. Perhaps all it takes is a fresh swipe of lipgloss or an extra coat of mascara but for those going through chemotherapy its usually not that easy to feel that confident in their looks.
LGFB hosts two-hour, hands-on workshop at comprehensive care clinics, hospitals, ACS offices, and community centers, local group programs are organized by the American Cancer Society, facilitated by LGFB-certified cosmetologists, and aided by general volunteers.Each workshop includes a 12-step skin care/make-up application lesson, demonstration of options for dealing with hair loss, and nail care techniques. Patients in various stages of treatment receive make-over tips and personal attention from professionals trained to meet their needs. They also use and take home complimentary cosmetic kits in their appropriate skin tones (light, medium, dark, extra dark) with helpful instruction booklets. Professional advice is provided on wigs, scarves and accessories. (Teen sessions also include social and health tips.) More than 50,000 individuals participate each year in small groups of five to ten, offering each patient a supportive circle, as well. Group programs represent the highest level of expertise available (the “gold standard”) in LGFB services.
So a big thank you goes out to Heidi Klum for supporting DKMS Life in Germany and giving something back.
