Sephora Tote and Change Purse, 100% of the proceeds go to GFC!

Wear your heart on your sleeve...and now, on your bag too. The Sephora Project Tote is a pretty purchase with a purpose. Sephora is proud to announce the launch of The Sephora Project, a new initiative created to educate and empower women and girls whose mission, like Sephora's, is to make the world a more beauty-full place. When you purchase The Sephora Project Tote Bag ($12), six dollars from each bag will be donated to Girls For A Change, a national organization that empowers girls to create social change. That's not the only way this fashion with a passion shows its love—this Tote-ally good-hearted bag is made from recycled bottles that have been crushed and spun into fibers. Snag the new Sephora Project Tote and let the benevolence begin!

The Sephora Project Change Purse is one small, useful, and charming accessory that can help make a difference. We're changing the world, one change purse at a time. The Sephora Project is an initiative created to educate and empower women whose mission, like Sephora's, is to make the world a more beauty-full place. When you purchase The Sephora Project change purse ($5), three dollars from each purse will be donated to Girls For A Change, a national organization that empowers girls to create social change. Experience the beauty of being part of this positive cause.

The tote and change purse are available at all Sephora stores, by calling 1-877-SEPHORA, or by logging on to Sephora.com.

"Girls For A Change is thrilled to partner with Sephora to help girls and women see themselves as powerful, brilliant, and beautiful. By donating the proceeds from the purchase of these totes, Sephora will be helping us reach thousands of girls who would otherwise not have the opportunity to learn how to create positive change in their communities and in their own lives," says Whitney Smith, CEO of Girls For A Change.

Girls Can be Boys at Heart

OK no one thinks you can be tough just because you wear pink and do your hair. The truth is, guys do that too !!! And you know what? I want you to take the time to add a comment on what you have ever done that made you feel tough. For example: 4 weeks ago I broke my collar bone. But I still got out there the next weekend, and played my soccer games and rode my horse. I think I am so strong for doing that. My collar bone snapped like a pencil.
