logo

After quite some time of nit-picking every little aspect of my creation, I have finally created THE PERFECT logo for Arbour Beauty and I am so stinking excited! I am so thankful that I'm familiar with the ends and outs of Adobe InDesign and was able to create my very own logo exactly how I want it.

It  shows everything that Arbour Beauty stands for and I couldn't be more satisfied with the way it turned out!



What do y'all think?

LOOKY HERE!

Well, well, well...

Arbour Beauty is spreading awareness across the University of Memphis campus now!

I am just about done with my last full semester of undergrad seeking a Bachelor's of Arts in Journalism. One of my last classes has been Feature Writing where we write feature stories about different people, places, or interesting things around Memphis. One of my classmates, Crystal, is on staff with The Daily Helmsman, our campus newspaper and recently asked me if she could write a story on Arbour Beauty for the paper! Of course I said YES! I am so thankful for the opportunity that came along giving all University of Memphis students the chance to read about my vision. I hope it builds more awareness of the project and that people will start following my project and hop on board.

So here is the article, enjoy!

Student paints for poverty

Blooming

My vision is finally coming together!
I am working on uploading my paintings and getting everything set up on my etsy.com account. Currently in my Gender and Women's Studies class, we are discussing partner abuse and its emotional affect. The topic has really become something I am passionate about so I absolutely cannot wait to start helping these women and their children. 
Please take the time to view this video about Arbour Beauty and share! I will upload another video once I've sold enough to make a contribution and visit the shelter to deliver the make-up and beauty products.

Some Trees and a Dream

Whelp, I guess you have realized that I love trees. A tree hugger? Not so much, but maybe a little. In my blog, I hope to inspire other young people who may also be passionate about something, but not sure what to do with it. If that sounds like you, then why not consider using your talents and interests for good? I am all for helping the human race and reaching out to others. I am not, however, going to go search the world for hopelessness and grieve when it exists here in my very own city: Memphis, Tennessee. I want to help women here. Now. 

With that being said, I am no photographer or professional artist by any means, but if you like the paintings, buy one, and the proceeds will be used to provide new make-up to the women of Memphis Family Shelter and surrounding safe-havens for women who have fallen victim to domestic violence. If you have no interest in the paintings (suite yourself), I hope you'll still consider donating and enjoy browsing my photos. I've come across some pretty neat trees here in Memphis and even in other places I visit. So, I capture some photos of them and will be posting them on here along with my paintings, thought the photos are just for viewing.

I hope you all enjoy my journey in kicking off this project that, I'm not going to lie, might be a bigger dream than I can handle. Dream big, right?
