February Reset!

Hi everyone! February is upon us and all the tickers have been reset to 0! I've already set my goals for the month and am super excited to get the ball rolling. I also have been doing loads of research into how I can help The Younique Foundation which is the pioneer of Defend Innocence. It's a charity who's mission is to educate parents and prevent child sexual abuse. Having 2 children of my own, this cause is very dear to my heart so I have set up a direct debit from my paychecks to donate to the charity. I am also looking at volunteer opportunities within the charity, and am making my pledge to #DefendInnocence. Some people may look at me and think I'm 'just selling makeup' but it's much more than that. Aside from donating to DefendInnocence, I am also doing everything in my power to uphold the Younique values to "uplift, empower, validate, and ultimately build self-esteem in women around the world". Just typing that brings me so much joy because I really want to help everyone! That's why I'm doing full time online university to get my biochemistry degree. Yes, I love science but ever since I can remember, I have had the strongest feeling that helping people is what I'm meant to do--and I love it! So, in 2.5 years when I graduate, I am going to either go into disease research or genetics to do just that. And I don't see myself giving up Younique because it has just been amazing.

In my last post, I wrote that I was half way to my goal and I am so pleased to announce that not two days later, I am now 60% there! I have made even more friends with new team members which on it's own is fantastic! I've only ever had guy friends and, to be honest, feel a bit uncomfortable around women which is probably down to my own silliness and not knowing what to talk about! You'd never think something as small as 'just selling makeup' could do all that.

As ever, here's the link to my site so you can see what I'm talking about! See you soon! Younique by Jenneal
