We were beyond honored to attend the 7th Annual Night of Generosity Ball located at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on Friday night, November 6th. Generosity.Org provides clean water for communities in need around the world and on this particular night strived to provide clean water for 40,000 people in Haiti, Uganda, and Ghana. When Genoristy first started, over 1 billion people did not have access to clean water. Because of the global commitment to ending this water crisis, the number is down to 663 million. Even though that is still a large number, they are changing the world for the better, one step at a time.
Chaz Dean, owner of Wen Hair, is a top donor and shared memories of his personal trip to Haiti to visit the families who he helped. He stated how this trip changed his life and urged others to give. One of the speakers said something that night that really stuck to us. He said, “There are people that say that some causes are hopeless, that it’s never going to change.” That is the problem we have. If we dont take any actions to change the obstacles of our neighbors, then of course nothing is going to change. Because of Generosity, thousands of families now have access to clean water. Now, instead of spending hours a day walking to collect clean water, children have time to receive an education. That is something. That is change. And if we all worked together more often in pursuit of a common goal, imagine what we could do. We urge all of our readers as the holidays come up, to make a sacrifice for the better. Give up a present and dedicate it to someone else, whether it be providing clean water through Generosity or feeding the hungry at our local homeless shelters. Lets stop the doubt of others that this world cannot change. Let’s be the change. If you would like to learn more about how Generosity works or how you can participate/volunteer click HERE

Hola! My name is Gabriela Tena. I am a wanderer, fashion obsessive, stylist, artist, creative thinker, mermaid, and a lover of all things lemon. My fashion, lifestyle, travel blog is an outlet for all those things: http://www.gypsealemonade.com. I was born in Spain and raised in southern California. I have lived five steps from the ocean since I was a little girl, so I feel like it is a part of me. I feel a sort of freedom when I’m in the ocean, one that helps me escape all the negativity in life. It is my favorite place on this planet, and it always will be. My spirit animals are horses and dolphins and I like to convince myself that I have magical powers to communicate with them. I am a graduate from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise where I majored in Visual Communications. More recently I graduated from the College of Charleston where I majored in Communications and minored in Art History. Through my dual citizenship I have been able to travel to and live in many different places. Learning about different cultures fascinates me and has always influenced my sense of fashion. Fashion reveals to the outsider how a culture defines and embodies their identity. Growing up, I spent my summers in the south of Spain playing with flamenco dancing gypsies. Their long skirts, leather chokers, and big red flowers in their hair is what gravitated me towards them. Not to mention, the energy they mediate while singing and dancing is completely infectious. I would trade my jewelry with them for their fake turquoise (I have a slight obsession with turquoise). I crave traveling basically every second of every day. I get really excited with the thought of going to an unfimilar place, diving into a unique landscape, and encountering new people. I never really get homesick because I find my home to be wherever I am. I like to embrace change, feel uncomfortable, and do things that make me scared.
