My name is Valarie Embrey and i'm working with a women's affinity group to collect winter accessories and coats to donate to local soup kitchens in Trenton, Nj. We have also donated to Women's Space, HomeFront, and other organizations. I'm taking an additional effort to collect winter accessories locally in my neighborhood to boost the amount of items donated.

I would encourage you to donate directly to soup kitchens in your neighborhood as many people are in need of coats scarves and accessories to prepare for the approaching winter. I really appreciate any donation you are able to provide and ALL proceeds will go towards the purchase of coats, scarves, gloves, hats, socks, and blankets. No amount is too big or small. Thank you for your help!

A little about me:

Graduated from Rutgers in 2013
Working currently at a Bank
I'm a vegan.
I love cooking and yoga.
I hope to start my own non profit one day.

THANKS!

Costume: Easy DIY Devo Energy Dome Under $3

This (hat) energy dome is inspired by the 80ies band Devo's hit song, "Whip it". Devo Whip - Song If you are looking for a fun 80ies costume or you just really love Devo here is a great way to recreate the energy dome! The materials I used will be listed below. See my 30 second #DIY #Costume video here: I cut my shapes out free hand, but if you use a foam circle or measuring rulers the appearance can be fined tuned! Materials : Two red poster boards Tape ruler personal hat as a size reference ruler bobby pins apple red inside spray paint - "I took the hat out doors to spray it." Once the energy dome is complete grab a guitar (I used my Wii guitar hero controller), or any other instrument from the Whip It video. To secure the dome to your head you may need to affix a hair pin, wig clips, or cut a whole in the bottom to balance it. *(caution: test all scenarios (clips/paint/glue) before wearing the dome to ensure comfort and no reactions) This...

Go outside and enjoy nature

Go ou tsi de The Cape of Good Hope Often my life is structured around schedules, hours of operation, academic goals, appointments and commuting. It is normal to plan your week around a schedule of activities that fill certain time slots each day. Even when free time sneaks into my schedule I wonder what new hobby or venue to pursue in hopes of making the best of my spare time. Boschendal - The Cellar Door South Africa Tropic of Capricorn Kruger National Park This week I realized one of the best things to do with spare time is to just go outside. Our schedules are filled with time constraints due to work requirements, academics, and other life activities. However, when spare time arises I often forget nature is only a step away. One of the most refreshing ways to start a day is to sit outside and read (weather permitting). There have been multiple subjects I have wanted to read about, but often my motivation to develop a reading schedule “indoors” has...

Susan G. Komen of Central & South New Jersey Donation Letter From Valarie

Thank you for scanning the QR code and visiting my blog. This is probably the largest effort I've taken to raise money for a cause. I am hoping to personally bring in a few large companies as executive sponsors. As stated in my letter we are looking for both monetary donations in general and raffle items. I will include a link to the Susan G. Komen of Central and South NJ website. KomenCSNJ IMPACT Lunch Komen CSNJ Facebook Goal: Reduce current number of breast cancer deaths by 50% within the next decade. A little about my efforts. Annually, I work on a winter warmth drive to benefit The Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.
