The Charitable Crumb's Cupckae Cure

Yes, breast cancer sucks, but in the midst of tragedy, good and yummy things are born. And so with October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, life is full of pink bits of deliciousness, courtesy of Crumbs Bakeshop. Tuesday night marked a fabulous evening of mini spa treatments (thank you Kevin Josephson Salon), pink cocktails (thank you Jett Vodka), organic finger foods (thank you Le Pain Quotidien), a silent auction (too many people to thank for that one), and the hit of the night, a decadent assortment of mini Crumbs cupcakes.
For anyone wondering, yes, the night was a big success, but it was these special pink cupcakes that I can't stop thinking about. First of all, the generosity of people and businesses is always astounding to me, but Crumbs seems to take it to a new level by donating a portion of the sales to the Breast Cancer Coalition as well as providing our fundraiser (benefiting My Vision) with these rich cream cheese frosting filled mini vanilla cupcakes with adorable with pink ribbons. I think I ate 9, but it was in the name of charity, so I have to forgive myself, right? (Now I am going to have to host a Diabetes fundraiser! Kidding.) I talked to one of the Crumbs partners and learned that the socially aware company is active in the fight against Breast Cancer and loves to support functions with these perfect cupcakes. A cupcake alone may not cure cancer, but they certainly add to the success of a party and the sweet memories of a charitable event.

Suneless Studio and Goodie Bag hosted a Breast Cancer Awareness party to benefit My Vision on October 13th at the Kevin Josephson Salon. Thank you to so many people who made the fundraiser a sucess: our friends for attending, Jett Vodka, Le Pain, Quotidien, Lux Lashes, Lisa Kline, Dr. Kevin Sands, Crumbs, Lori Caden at Caden Concepts, J Brand Jeans, Dr. Frank Ryan, Ashford Summerville, Neuro, Shell Vacations, Mary Kay.....

Breast CANswer: A Charitable Salon Night

The days of summer are diminishing but that doesn’t mean your tan has to suffer! In fact, a healthier way to get a beautiful tan and skip the whole cancer issue (not to mention wrinkles) is with Sunless Studio in Beverly Hills located in the Kevin Josephson Salon. The girls of Sunless Studio are aware that you need a tan all year and you need it fast. These girls are not only conscience of their clients, but have a strong social conscience as well.

So in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Sunless Studio is teaming up with Goodie Bag Events on October 13th at 7pm to produce a night of altruism and indulgence (what a rare combination) with a mini spa night to benefit Breast Cancer Awareness. The beneficiary is My Vision which provides fertility and support to young women in their 20’s and 30’s who suffer from the inability to reproduce after the effects of chemotherapy from breast cancer. The event will be held at the Kevin Josephson Salon and promises to be a night of luxury and plain fun.

Guests will be sipping pink cocktails by Jett Vodka and snacking on organic finger sandwiches by Le Pain Quotidien as they get a sampling of facials, manicures, luxe lashes, hair blowouts, and sunless tanning. The silent auction promises to cater to the salon-going crowd with trips to Puerto Vallarta, Michael Star’s tees. Private training sessions, shopping trips with Lisa Kline, and tons more! Of course guests are welcome to book the full experience for any service and with the reward of knowing the proceeds go to breast cancer awareness.

So if you are like lots of pink, lots of fun, beauty, friends, and giving back, join Sunless Studio and Goodie Bag Events for this special night. See you there!!
