Philosophy for the Cause: She Colors My Day

As promised, our search for products that bring beauty and charity together continues. And to kick it off is a company that has risen to the challenge of being both a powerful and an inspirational force in the beauty biz and beyond — Philosophy. I’ve always been a softie for this Phoenix-born bath, body and skincare brand and a huge admirer of its creator, Cristina Carlino. And in support of women’s cancer research, they have introduced a beautiful new product line that once again raises the bar and challenges big beauty brands to bring about positive change. Inspired by the comfort from her daughter’s artwork and innocent acts of kindness, Carlino teamed up with a friend to write She Colors My Day, an uplifting song that was then brought to life by singer Amy Grant. While the song celebrates the bond between mothers and daughters, the products that bloomed from the concept support the early detection of women’s cancers. She Colors My Day fantasy bubble bath fills your bathtub with green-tinted bubbles and an uplifting floral aroma. Visit www.shecolorsmyday.com to download the song, purchase She Colors My Day bubble bath or keepsake book, create a personal slide show and contemplate the lyrics to the song. It warms my heart to watch the slideshow that runs on the site’s homepage because although I have never met Carlino in person, I recognized the many glowing faces of the women behind Philosophy whom I have met at the various local Philosophy events over the years. These are women who really rock. You can also purchase these items along with Philosophy’s signature three-in-one Shower for a Cure at www.philosophy.com. The best part is that 100% of net proceeds from the She Colors My Day products and Shower for the Cure are donated to the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s women’s cancer research fund. Here’s to a bright, colorful and wonderful day!
