Final Project Blog Post

What we have accomplished this week: This week Naomi and I went to our shelter and we performed our makeovers on the women. It was an absolutely amazing experience! We finished up some shopping and got more eyeliner and supplies. We stayed in our budget of 150 dollars with all of the supplies we bought for this project. We arrived to the shelter on Monday night with our mentor and a few other girls we invited to come with us. We went in, met all the women and children, and did makeovers on all of them. We listened to their stories, and they were all very amazing women.

What we are working on now: Right now we are working on getting ready for our TED talk, we are getting our lip balm and cards that we made all together and we are going to start writing notes for our TED talk.

What we will be working on next week: Next, Naomi and I will be working on our TED talk, but we will really start working on what we are planning to say and how we are planning to display everything.

Week 10

What we have accomplished this week: This week Naomi and I successfully packaged our lip balm, and finished our last batches of lip balm. We went shopping and bought all our makeup for our trip to the center on Monday, March 6. Also this week, Naomi and I called our mentor and got our place set up and the date of it. We are going to women's shelter on March 6 at 7:15 pm and we will be bringing a group of around 6-8 friends or family members with us to help give makeovers to these women. There will be a group of about 8 women at the shelter. We also went to the store and got thank you cards to work on on Friday in genius hour.

What we are working on now: Right now we are working on writing on all of our thank you cards and we are finalizing all of our details for our visit to the women's shelter. We are also getting all of our supplies together. Below is a sample of one of the cards we are writing.

What we will be working on next week: Next week we will head over to the women's shelter on Monday and we will begin our makeovers. We are so excited to meet the women!
