Hi y'all, Trish here. Wow, I can't believe it's already almost a year since we opened Ulemu Beauty! Thanks so much to all of you for your support, we really appreciate it and we never take you for granted. Please do your very best to attend our First Anniversary party and fundraiser on the 3rd of August - it's going to be a lot of fun!

I grew up in Zambia where access to clean water and sanitation is a major problem for very many people. Think how much water you use in a day and then imagine having to walk literally miles to the nearest river or well and then home again with only as much water as you and your children can carry in buckets. That's why I thought it would be great to combine our anniversary party with a fundraiser for WaterAid who are on the ground 365 days a year all over the world addressing these problems and making a real difference to people's lives.

Here's a bit more about the charity. Please give if you can but above all please come and enjoy the party!! X
