Time for a Giveaway! Burt's Bees & Lipstick Angels Tote

I was instantly thrilled when I learned about the collaboration between natural beauty products powerhouse Burt's Bees and Lipstick Angels - a non-profit organization committed to helping hospitalized women feel beautiful through makeovers. Cosmetics may seem like a trivial thing when someone is fighting for their lives, but I have witnessed the power of beauty therapy: when my beloved Grandma Bertha was hospitalized for cancer treatment, she would ask me to bring her lipstick and nail polish. Those cosmetics lifted her spirits and helped her to feel glam again - even in a hospital gown.

From now until September 30th, you can support Lipstick Angels by bidding on a specially designed "Nature Knows Color" tote personally signed by a range of celebrities; including Heather Graham, Denise Richards, Mena Suvari, Isla Fisher, Selita Ebanks, AnnaSophia Robb, Camilla Belle, Melanie Fiona, and others. Click here to bid.

I also have 4 totes to give away - one each to 4 lucky readers. The bags I'm giving away are not signed by a celeb but each tote will include a lip treat from Burt's Bees. These stylish bags are great for running errands around town. To enter the giveaway, just leave a comment below by 5pm (EST), October 1, 2013. Winners will be selected at random and will be contacted by October 4, 2013.  Prizes can only be mailed to addresses in the United States. Winners will be notified via e-mail and will have 3 days to provide a valid mailing address or another winner will be selected. Good luck!
