Think Pink – Glimmer and Grace with Ailene

The Power of Being There for Others

Lending a helping hand and offering support to those in need is a timeless act of kindness. Whether it’s a friend, a family member, or a stranger, being there for someone can make a world of difference in their life. As we approach October and Breast Cancer Awareness month, I celebrate the memory of my beloved maternal grandmother and encourage everyone to embrace the spirit of compassion and support for others.

We all encounter times in our lives when we could use a helping hand or a comforting presence. It’s during these moments that we truly appreciate the support we receive from those around us. But have you ever thought about being that support for someone else, just as someone was there for you when you needed it most?

It’s often the small, heartfelt gestures that have the most significant impact on someone going through a tough situation. Whether it’s lending a listening ear, offering a helping hand, delivering a warm meal, making a simple phone call, or sending a thoughtful card, these acts of kindness can brighten someone’s day and let them know they are not alone.

I have fond memories of my grandmother, who battled breast cancer. Despite her struggles, she continued to live life to the fullest, even taking her annual summer trip to be with family. Inspired by her resilience, I participated in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure for several years. Breast cancer affects many lives, with about 1 in 8 U.S. women facing this challenge in their lifetime.

While October has been traditionally recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let’s remember that the spirit of support and compassion should extend throughout the year. Instead of focusing on specific dates, let’s reflect on the countless individuals in our lives who could use our support right now.

Who can you reach out to? Whose hand can you hold? Who can benefit from your presence and care? The simple act of being there for someone who feels lonely, isolated, or scared is one of the most valuable gifts you can give another human being.

Today, let’s make a conscious effort to be that person for someone in need. It’s a timeless gesture of kindness that can bring immeasurable comfort and strength to those who require it.

If you’re interested in creating a small care package to brighten someone’s day, consider including a heartfelt card, a thoughtful self-care gift, or even a nail polish set. Offering your assistance and support is a beautiful way to make a difference in someone’s life, just as my grandma’s strength and determination inspired me.

In addition to these acts of kindness, remember that you have the power to contribute to causes that matter to you. I love being a part of the work the Color Street Foundation does to support causes close to our hearts, and, in turn, support local organizations like the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. Your support can help make a difference in the fight against cancer.

Do you know someone currently facing this battle? Consider including some of our self-care and beauty products in a gift basket. I’d love to help!

Let’s remember the power of being there for others, inspired by the memory of my grandmother’s resilience. Support is a timeless gift that transcends any specific month or day on the calendar. Embrace the opportunity to make a positive impact in someone’s life and be the source of comfort and strength they need.

Color Street and the Color Street Foundation are thrilled to announce our continued support for Breast Cancer Awareness this October, and we’re taking it to a whole new level of impact and personal commitment.

This year, we’re not only dedicated to raising awareness, but we’re also making a tangible difference, both as an organization and as individuals. We are proud to pledge a generous sum of $35,000 USD to support two remarkable charity partners: Living Beyond Breast Cancer and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. These organizations are at the forefront of advancing research, education, and providing crucial support programs for those affected by breast cancer.

But here’s where I personally come into the picture: In addition to the Color Street Foundation’s generous donation, I am pledging to donate $1 for every Pink Out set purchased from launch through October to the American Cancer Society Relay for Life in Pierce County. This is my way of contributing to a cause that’s close to my heart, and it’s separate from the Color Street Foundation’s donation.

On Thursday, September 28, at 10:30 AM CT, we are launching a special limited-edition nail design called “Pink Out.” This eye-catching ombré glitter and ribbon nail design is more than just a beautiful accessory; it’s a symbol of hope, healing, and our collective dedication to the cause.

Let’s paint the town pink this October and unite in the fight against breast cancer. Join me and be a part of something meaningful. Together, we can make a difference!
