It always feels hollow and weird writing about beauty, hair and fashion in the wake of a natural disaster. Maybe people who have been affected really want that escape, that burst of happiness and lighthearted news in the wake of their devastation. Seeing the footage on the news of Hurricane Sandy swept away all the lightheartedness from my spirit.
I spend a fair amount of time back and forth between Chicago and New York, and to see NYC so waterlogged and devastated, is heartbreaking. The scenes from Queens, the Jersey Shore, and the places Sandy hit before coming to the mainland — the DR, Haiti and Jamaica — have been equally devastated. Seeing these images can make you feel helpless. How can you help?
ABC News has a great piece on ways you can help Hurricane Sandy victims. Organizations like the Red Cross don’t need canned goods and blankets — items like that require staff to process them. Right now they need CASH donations. To donate, visit www.redcross.org, call 800-Red-Cross or text the word “Redcross” to 90999 to make a $10 donation.
Blood drives have been cancelled and victims will need donations, so schedule an appointment to donate blood for those in New York and New Jersey if you can.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all persons affected by Hurricane Sandy – my best friend since I was about 8 years old, lives in NJ and had no electricity for some time but her area has been reconnected now – thanks be to God.
An informative and caring blog post – most appreciated.
