Birthday Party at Feed My Starving Children

Hello everyone!  This was a wonderful day for me.  The hubby arranged to have us and 25 of our friends volunteer at Feed My Starving Children.  We spent two hours packing food for an orphanage in El Salvador.  Between my birthday party guests, a Boy Scout troop, and a church group we packed enough food for 70 children to eat one meal a day for one year. 

What I really liked about this experience was that all kinds of people were there.  My group alone had Christians and Hindus.  It doesn't matter what your religion is, feeding hungry children is the right thing to do.  Now, I did have to bring a babysitter for my son because he isn't old enough to pack food, but he had fun playing with his favorite babysitter.  Since this was so successful I just might have the hubby do this every year.  Why not make it a tradition!  I would rather volunteer my time and money than spend money on a party anytime.  Now, the hubby did order cupcakes and we handed out cupcakes at the end to everyone including some of the other volunteers not in our group.

Flat twist out with my no makeup makeup look.  Birthday party hair.

Now for my hair.  I put my hair into about 9 flat twists last night.  I used just a little bit of water and some gel.  My hair came out lovely!  In fact I got so many compliments that I was kinda gushing towards the end of the experience.  The lead volunteer actually stopped me to complement me about my hair.  I liked my hair so much that I wore a pink flower in the morning and then my purple and white flower in the afternoon.  I also got complements about my skin.  Many people thought that I wasn't wearing any makeup but I did admit that I was.  I call this my no makeup, makeup look.  I really wanted a look that showed my face.  Sometimes, I tend to wear really red lips, so this more natural look is more of how I look without makeup without having the "she's wearing makeup" look.
Let me know what you think.  Until next time...
Blessings!
