Hey everyone!
So as you're all wondering from the title, what kind of make up look could this possibly be!?
Well, it isn't a post about make up! Sorry all you make up lovers, but I promise I shall write a post regarding some awesome make up looks very soon.
Just for now, I really want to bring out some awareness about something which I feel is such a beautiful and thoughtful idea which only happens once a year during the Christmas season. This is the project called Children's Dreams and Appogg are collaborating with them. Basically, so you all know what I'm talking about, Appogg is the National Agency here in Malta that helps the well-being of children, families and the community.
Children's Dreams created a website and on this site there are a number of dreams which children who are in need, whose families are financially unstable or are living in homes, ask for a particular "dream" that they've been wanting for Christmas. They ask for this dream because their parents aren't able to give it to them or maybe their parents aren't even in the picture. This site gives these children the chance to have their dream present come true. All that one has to do is choose a dream from this site and buy the present that that particular child wants. The social worker on the case with that child will contact you and you would send the present to Appogg, so that the social worker can give it to the child. These children have gone through so much in their lives that I feel it's such a beautiful gesture and this would really put a smile on their faces. I feel it's such a great idea and you can really make a difference for these children. They would be so grateful and happy that they would receive their dream presents. The present does not have to be brand new, it could be something that you have at home and you never used it before or it's still in really good condition. You still can give in a used present, as long as it is in good condition of course. That's the most important.
Last year, I was on Placement at Appogg and I got the chance to help someone fulfill their dream and even go up to the child and inform them that their dream is coming true. The look on that girls face was priceless and she gave me the biggest hug ever! She didn't stop screaming and jumping around because it meant so much to her. It was the greatest feeling in the world for me knowing that I helped this girl and brightened her Christmas. Everyone could have this feeling if you go on the site and choose a dream for someone.
I really wanted to write a post regarding this so I could try and help and raise awareness about this site for all those children who are in need. Christmas is a time for giving and helping one another. With all your help, you could make a child smile this Christmas.

This post is just a one off and I will be back to writing about make up, I just felt that this was an important issue to talk about and raise awareness about this.
Lots of love - Suzanne P.D.
