\"UTKellyRev2Column\"<\/a>It\u2019s DECEMBER 1st<\/sup>, everyone!\u00a0 Time for my Holiday Edition of the Sunday Super Six!\u00a0 In the spirit of the season, I wanted to feature gifts that give back and found some really incredible things\u2026enjoy!<\/p>\n

1. Family Service of Chester County is a non-profit agency providing professional counseling to people of all income levels.\u00a0 They also operate programs to address some of our community\u2019s most pressing issues and provide services at a low rate – and in many cases, for free – to any Chester County resident in financial need. \u00a0Please show your support by purchasing a gorgeous Vineyard Vine silk tie and\/or scarf for $100.\u00a0 The tagline \u201cEnvisioning Your Potential\u201d (which appears on the VV scarves) embodies all that Family Services stands for: finding encouragement, determination, power and strength in every individual who walks through the door.\u00a0 Click here for contact information: http:\/\/www.familyservice.us\/<\/a>\"Kelly1\"<\/a>
\n2. Mother and daughter team, Dee and Haley Cairo, started their organization, Mae Movement, to help support female artisans of the Katmandu Valley of Nepal.\u00a0 Gorgeous multicolored, hand crocheted bracelets are a cultural craft in this region and your purchase helps these women to provide stable lives for their families.\u00a0 Human trafficking remains a huge issue in Nepal with ten to fifteen thousand girls being tricked or sold into slavery every year.\u00a0 Living environments are horrifying and those not sold into slavery are forced to work rigorous physical labor.\u00a0 The alternative of selling jewelry enables these women to escape such harsh conditions.<\/p>\n

Not only are the bracelets beautiful to wear (I love to layer 4 or 5 at a time) but every time you touch them, you will know you are changing a life.<\/p>\n

3. ONEHOPE Wine makes an impact with every bottle sold by donating HALF of the profits to partner causes.\u00a0 My choice is the ONEHOPE 2011 California Zinfandel ($18.99) which benefits the charity \u201cSnowball Express\u201d in their mission to provide the children of fallen heroes a week of amazing opportunities.\u00a0 Click here to learn more about Snowball Express:\u00a0 www.snowballexpress.org<\/a> or here to order from ONEHOPE Wine: www.onehopewine.com<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Giving Grace is a new fragrance in the ultra-popular perfume line by Philosophy.\u00a0 This particular scent not only smells delicious (with notes of winter mandarin, star jasmine and creamy musk) but all proceeds from ONLINE sales benefit the women\u2019s\u2019 cancer charity \u201cLook Good Feel Better\u201d<\/p>\n
