As a woman, we often don’t realize how much we rely on our physical appearance as a confidence enhancer. We pride ourselves with our styled hair, our bright makeup, out long eyelashes, etc. When that is taken away from Chemotherapy it leaves you feeling lost and empty. Look Good Feel Better is a organization that helps women who are battling cancer find their confidence again in their physical appearance. With many different resources and support systems, they are a great organization that donates their professionals, materials, etc to those in need. Visit www.lgfb.ca to learn more!
