Welcome to Vidaly with Jenny, I’m Jenny and this is where I share my experiences as I go through the University of Life and learn lessons through trial and error!
How It Started: I found BEAR through a project I was working on and while I am not in the position to foster children, I understand and see the great need. BEAR is an amazing resource for CPS kids as they are the first stop for essentials for many children and teens that are pulled for bad situations with nothing. My husband and I value the amazing work being done by such a small team and have made it one of our top non-profits to support. After looking at the list of creating a duffle bag, I found a cute little make up bag at the $1 store and mentioned to my friend, Trina, that I would like to somehow find more bags. She mentioned she had quite a few IPSY bags and offered them to me. I gladly took them and when I saw the beautiful designs I gushed at how amazing they were and she offered to get some more! She came back with like 50 more!! They were too small for a brush and larger items but Jenny remembered packing female hygiene items in baggies at the BEAR center and figured this would be a better way to give the girls a splash of cheer with all that they are going through. I will do the work of putting the bags together and you can be a part of lifting up a young lady and donating!

IPSY Larger bags are great for beauty products; BEAR requests a Brush, Ties and Scrunchies and I like to add lip-gloss of some sort, a mirror and some tissues and of course incorporate a nice bag for everything to be put into! We put these bags in duffels donates for girls ages 10-17.
Hygiene Packs consist of 6 pads and 6 tampons - this is a little less than the standard for BEAR when packing into ziplock bags. What is not shown in the picture but we would like to include in all bags are 6 panty liners as well. These bags will have another life beyond the initial hygiene pack!
IPSY Bags can be mailed to to 1302 Waugh Dr. #441 Houston, TX 77019
