The Love Project

Why Colorado?
My roots are in Jersey—yes, I'm a Jersey girl, born and raised, that's my home. I will always love home, but after spending half of my life in Jersey, I was ready to enjoy a new environment. So, after traveling for the past 4 years—and, visiting 3 spots in Colorado (Aspen, Evergreen, and Manitou Springs) I decided to explore the beautiful state of Colorado. And, in September of 2015, I relocated from Jersey to Colorado. So, for the first 3 months, I was really busy—that is, setting up my home and office. Little did I know that there was something about life that was even more fulfilling awaiting, in Colorado.

My Conviction
During our first 3 months in Colorado, I focused on unpacking and setting my apartment. But, on weekends, to get away from Mondaying chores, I always found fun things to do—like exploring Colorado, meeting new people, eating out, shopping, and participating in community events. So mostly, I explored locally—the downtown areas of Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, and Denver. While hanging out downtown, I couldn't help but notice the many homeless people and families—men, women, and children, on the streets—something we rarely experienced in Jersey. My conviction happened about a couple of weeks after having lunch downtown Colorado Springs, I came home with such a heavy heart. I mean really heavy. I began crying, I mean really hard... and praying because I saw people who were in despair, hurting, struggling to live and survive. It didn't matter at that time how they got there, what mattered most was doing something to help. I didn't know what at that time—except providing basic necessities to help them while they were on the streets—but I felt a deep conviction inside my heart to start a conversation with homeless people whom most people believed were approachable. Not only did I want to do something to help them, but I also wanted to "start the conversation"—talk to them to hopefully hear their story and their specific needs. So I began the conversation. You see, during all my visits downtown, I would do whatever I could to help—like purchase food, socks, warm hats, give used coats, and share encouraging words—but I immediately realized that the need was much bigger than what I had to offer. That my resources would only go but so far. After all, at that time, I was living off our savings and had to find part-time job to supplement my business income. But for some reason, my attention was drawn to those who were less fortunate. After all, what good is it if I only feel sorry for them, without putting my conviction to action? I then thought to myself, "Somehow, I've gotta find a way to help."

A Means to an End
Entrepreneurship Meets Purpose
In 2012, I discovered natural skin care and decided to add natural products to my daily skin care regimen. I loved the products so much that I found myself interested in launching my own brand of a natural face & body cleanser. So I did. But beforehand, I was determined to test the product; and the remarkable thing is that after using Veggie Glam Bar* for only a few months the compliments began rolling in. Most of my friends and family, including Jon noticed an incredible difference in my skin's tone and texture. So he started using it too. Two years later, I found myself in the middle of a soft launch for my own brand, VGlamBar.com, offering the product in my spare time through my Makeover Coach business. To get started, I introduced the product to friends, family, organized home spa parties, and showcased it at local community events. Everyone that has purchased it, fell in love with it. Fast forward to 2015: after living in Colorado for only 3 months, I was faced with a strong conviction to help aid homeless & poor families. I'm in my living room praying. Asking God how can I help? What do I have in my hand that would make a difference? Then, one day, it happened... the answer came. Being an entrepreneur, I realized that I could utilize Veggie Glam Bar as a catalyst to launch my first charitable project to help homeless and poor families; and, that week, I created The Love Project Blessing Bags for the Poor. The Love Project, would be birthed from the sales of Veggie Glam Bar, whereas I would use a portion of the sales to provide food, basic necessities, give hope and encouragement to those who are less fortunate. So, I would start where I live first with hopes of expanding the project throughout the country. I would also utilize the monies raised for operational costs such as advertising, travel, and administration. I decided to utilize this product to help aid a good cause, so my work was truly cut out for me. It was time to build the campaign, spread the word, and sell the product.

The Love Project Campaign: "Blessing Bags for the Poor"

Let's Start With You

If each person reading my story would join my campaign and commit to consistently purchasing and using Veggie Glam Bar as their daily cleanser, do you know how many people we would be able to help?! What an incredible impact and difference we would make together. After all, everybody needs a daily cleanser, right? So in essence, it wouldn't take any extra money from your pocket then you are currently spending on an annual basis for your daily skin care needs. Ok, well maybe a few of you would spend a tad bit more, but the benefits are incredible! I've had my share of using pricey skin cleansers from those high-end stores that we all know of. After all, many of them have tons of chemicals and animal by-products as ingredients; and, aren't environmentally safe anyway.
