thanks

Thanks for the info. Barbara. I have NO affiliation with this company (other than being an occasional customer), so not trying to push anything! ...But if you live in a state that has Beauty Brands stores, they have a campaign for abuse awareness. They have these huge posters of models in purple t-shirts on their windows that say "It Takes Guts to End Abuse". I was very happy to see this - we have a lot of breast cancer awareness in our retail stores here, but I haven't seen too much of this. If you buy a certain product (Redkin's "Guts"), the procedes go to the local DV shelter. OR, you can donate money - they have $1 cards at the register, but you can donate whatever you want. Just a thought! :)
