Enchanted Makeovers - A Season Of Giving

Please join me this Christmas season and help spread joy to a very special non-profit organization! Balsam Hill will donate $2 for every comment left on this blog post!

“The general population tends to think that people are homeless because they missed a mortgage payment and lost their home. In our experience, the women and children we serve in shelters are there because they are escaping domestic violence, human trafficking or are homeless female vets. The shelter is the first step they take toward recovery”. – Terry Grahl, Founder, Enchanted Makeovers

Shelter "After" Makeover by Enchanted Makeovers

I’m so excited to announce, that this Holiday Season I’m partnering with one of my favorite companies, Balsam Hill, to support my favorite non-profit organization, Enchanted Makeovers (EM) as part of the Season of Giving Campaign.

It’s no secret that I'm a huge fan of Balsam Hill. You’ve seen their seasonal décor items featured throughout my home for many years. If you've followed me for a while, then you’ve also seen posts on the volunteer work I’ve done with Enchanted Makeovers throughout the years. The opportunity to work with Balsam Hill to support Enchanted Makeovers at the same time is pretty is incredible.

Back in 2011, a friend of mine introduced me to Enchanted Makeovers (EM) in a casual conversation. That night, I went home and read up on EM and instantly became captivated by the story of the Founder, Terry Grahl, closing her successful decorating business to devote all of her time to performing “shelter makeovers”. It wasn’t until I actually volunteered with EM that I realized it was about so much more than decorating and making shelters look pretty. EM is committed to empowering and improving the lives of women and children living in shelters through many different community programs and initiatives.

These programs are in addition to shelter makeovers, where large, long term, shelters are transformed into an environment that inspires behavioral and psychological change. EM is also about unifying the community; bringing people of all backgrounds and experiences together to love and support each other through the act of giving/volunteering.

While I tell you a little bit about the ways in which EM changes lives, I will be sharing some photos from some of the various EM events I have participated in.
