Look Good, Feel Better

I want to take a moment to talk about a program that means a lot to me. It’s called “Look Good, Feel Better,” and it’s a program put on by the American Cancer Society for women who are going through chemotherapy and radiation. It shows women of all ages how to put on makeup and style their wigs so they achieve a natural look while going through treatment. More importantly, it teaches them not to feel out of place, or less like a woman in a society that relies so heavily on physical beauty. I’ve attended one of these sessions with someone very close to me and I know that it meant a great deal to her to be treated like a woman instead of a clinical case study. The program also gives women a chance to socialize with others going through the same thing in an environment that’s less formal than a therapy group. I’m telling you guys about this because a lot of you are talented in makeup or hair, or know someone who is. I know this program means a lot to so many women and the more people who know about it, the better the potential it has to grow!
