Kiehl's has a New Cause, Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance.

By Laura Medina

Kiehl's has step up and raised awareness and funds for environmentalism and AIDS.  Now, they have taken on a new cause, Ovarian Cancer with OCRFA President & CEO Audra Moran, again to educate the public and find a cure.

Kiehl's knights in shining armor are their motorcycle gang, the LifeRiders.  The core knights/members are: Chris Salgardo, Kiehl’s USA President, Gilles Marini, Grant Reynolds, TV host, and Scott Patterson, Actor.

This was the briefest charity tour that the Kiehl's LifeRiders ever had:  Kiehl’s Sherman Oaks, Westfield Fashion Square, 14006 Riverside Dr., Sherman Oaks, CA 91423, 11:00AM-12:00PM
• Kiehl’s Santa Anita, Westfield Santa Anita, 400 Baldwin Ave., Arcadia, CA 91007, 2:00PM-3:00PM
• Kiehl’s Victoria Gardens, ...Victoria Gardens, 12505 N Main St. #200, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91739, 4:30PM-5:30PM

Three stops in one day, all in the Inland Empire, on a Wednesday, September 21st.

The motorcycle tour ended on Thursday, September 22nd at Kiehl's Santa Monica store on Montana Avenue boutique.

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Collection was set aside for proceeds for Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance.

Life long LifeRider, Gilles Marini showed his heart and soul for riding for worthy causes, such as the environment and cancers.

Alyssa Milano, from "Who's the Boss," shows her support for Ovarian Cancer.

America's Ninja Warrior, Jessie Graff demonstrates her prowess.

 

Then, she does pull-ups at the store entrance.

It ain't a Kiehl's party until they present a check for their favorite causes, a $25,000 check donated to the research and education of Ovarian Cancer to Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance.

OCRFA President & CEO Audra Moran wasn't afraid to tell the guests that you can't discover ovarian cancer through the traditional pap smear.  There needs to be more money for more research to properly discover and detect ovarian cancer quicker, easier, and faster then, there's the cure.

Guzzling liquids or sipping smoothies and juices on a suffocating, hot Indian Summer week?

Mix in a scoop of HUM Raw Beauty Green Superfood Powder in a cheap cup of milkshake, before you know it...you got yourself an healthy skin smoothie.

Don't let the name fool you, it tastes like chocolate chip ice cream so it makes your classic vanilla or chocolate milkshake taste and make fancy.

You can do the same thing to our frappucino or ice blend.

If juicing your thing and sooner guzzle Arnold Palmers, iced tea, and lemonade, just two teaspoons of these fruity Fountain beauty liquid supplements to your favorite soda or fizzy water, you'll have yourself a beauty soda or iced tea, lemonade, or Arnold Palmer.

See, it's easy to stay beautiful and keep that radiance when it's hot and miserable.

With Nelly's help and Shantel Jackson's help, Face Forward Help Domestic Abuse Victims Move Forward.

By Laura Medina

In a town known for it's superficiality and shallowness and plastic surgery, the charity Face Forward comes to the rescue for victims of domestic abuse violence.

http://www.faceforwardla.org/

It's harsh and it's ugly that men can do that to their girlfriends, wives, and mothers to their children.  Unfortunately, men do.

These black-tie gala, underneath all that glossy glamour, is a fundraiser to keep this volunteer team of reconstructive surgeons saving victims' lives, self-esteem, and confidence to enter the regular world, to escape disfiguring enslavement.

With these reconstructive doctors' help and dedication, just making these domestic abuse victims "appear normal" is these victims' first step to freedom and dignity as fully-functional human beings.

What does Nelly and Shantel Jackson have to do with this?

If you follow Ms. Shantel Jackson's career and Nelly's or just a plain ole fan, you all know the sordid story of Shantel's domestic abuse and imprisonment by a vicious, abusive, misogynistic celebrity who showered her with gifts but "owned" her by withholding her driver's license and beating her up in return.  He "put her in her place" by posting intimate photos of their relationship online.

Sorry ladies but those abusers aren't gentlemen.

By escaping her abuser, Shantel Jackson met her current boyfriend, Nelly.

After accepting her award from Face Forward, Nelly showed his support by throwing a mini-concert that got everybody grooving...

Before Nelly's midnight performance and during the live auction, people just have to have dinner, a three-course Haute Cuban cuisine, courtesy of Chef Neal Fraser.

He did the cooking because the charity gala was held at his restaurant, Redbird at Vibiana.

Harvesting late season produce, Watermelon Salad dusted by Feta cheese crumbs.

Light and filling Cod spiced with Tomato Salsa on a bed of plantain.

Turones and Chocolate....

All those kind-hearted fashionistas and socialites were glad that Nelly got them moving to burn off the calories.

But for the rest of the year, it's still a good idea to donate to Face Forward to help domestic abuse victims get back on their feet, off the floor...after being beaten up.
