I'm Michelle Cox -- the owner of Lipstick to Crayons. I’m also a Mom to three kids (a teen, tween and toddler), a professional writer (www.michellemcox.com) and a blogger (www.fromthemom.com). And I love to save money (and help you do the same) via frugal deals and steals, coupons and other thrifty practices. My freelance writing business allows me to enjoy the great balance of being a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom, while also making time for blogging, running (ran the Chicago Marathon twice) some amateur photography and scrapbooking. I’m a St. Louis native, although I have lived outside of the city and the state. A few of my passions are amateur photography, scrapbooking and attending kids' sporting events.

Paint Your Toe Nails, Help a Cancer Survivor

feature photo

We all love those summer manicures and pedicures.  But wouldn’t they be even sweeter if you knew you were helping someone else simply by picking up a bottle of your favorite nail polish?
 
Look Good…Feel Better, a national public service program that helps women cope with appearance-related changes from cancer treatment, and OPI, one of my favorite nail polish brands, are both celebrating their 20th anniversaries this year.

Look Good…Feel Better has served 650,000 women in the United States since the program’s inception in 1989 and has helped women improve their self esteem nationwide.  Look Good…Feel Better is available in 19 countries on six continents, and has served nearly one million women with cancer globally.

During July and August, OPI will contribute a portion of the proceeds of every bottle of its top-selling Bubble Bath Nail Lacquer sold, with a minimum contribution of $25,000, to Look Good…Feel Better. 
 
The OPI Bubble Bath Nail Lacquer benefiting Look Good…Feel Better will be available in at least 10,000 participating salons and retail locations nationwide beginning this July.

Also, in honor of its 20th anniversary, Look Good…Feel Better is asking women cancer survivors to submit their stories of how the program helped them cope with cancer as a way to inspire others who may currently be undergoing cancer treatment.  Entries will be featured on the Women of Hope is Beautiful blog to help inspire others.  Anyone can visit the site to view entries, make comments and show their support.  In August, Look Good…Feel Better will choose five women with the most-compelling stories to receive a trip to New York City for a makeover and a trip to the DreamBall, a black-tie gala and the program’s largest annual fundraiser, held each year in New York City.  Click here for more about the campaign or to enter.
