Go Naked for Education

July 16, 2014Kelly TenkelyLeave a Comment3319 views

I take on a lot. Depending on who you ask, probably too much. But when I’m passionate about something, it doesn’t feel like one more thing because it feeds my soul in some way. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about the Anastasis alumni girls…really young women now. And I worried about them. I thought about what it was like to be that age and the true awkwardness that I felt. I thought about how often I felt ugly and like I just wasn’t enough. I wrote a post for them in my mind (which I WILL write), but this is not that post. It is just a reminder to me about why I am passionate about this one more thing that I added to my plate.

Rodan +Fields reminds me of what beauty is, and it has the added benefit of giving me great skin that makes me feel confident. That is why I took on one more thing. But then, this one more thing got even better, because my passions are colliding!

Rodan + Fields is hosting a #RFGoNaked Day next Friday, July 25, 2014. This is particularly exciting because just by participating (which is totally FREE) Rodan + Fields will make a $1 donation to empower and educate students in need. Passions colliding! The goal is to raise $30,000 to build a school. Of course, I am beyond excited to support that cause!

It gets better, next Thursday July 24, 2014 I am hosting a kick off Virtual Party. YOU ARE INVITED! 🙂

This is going to be fun, like girl talk (men, you can come too) and a spa day rolled into one. Rodan and Fields has transformed my skin. I mean seriously, my Bobbi Brown concealer and foundation have dust on them. DUST. I don’t use them at all since I started using Rodan and Fields skin care. I love that I can go makeup free (Note: I am wearing eye makeup in the photo below) and feel confident that my skin is going to look and feel great (this is the idea behind the #RFGoNaked Day). Everyone should love their skin, it goes with you everywhere! Next Thursday, July 24, I’m hosing a virtual party where you can learn more about how to keep your skin looking and feeling amazing. In addition to learning more about how you can love your skin, I’ll have a give away of my very favorite R+F product and we will get ready to “Go Naked” for education!When: Thursday, July 24, 2014

Time: 10:00 am MST

Where: From the comfort of your home!

RSVP: You MUST RSVP to be included in this virtual party. It is really easy, just click here and tell me where to send your invitation link. You do NOT want to miss this!

Then on Friday, July 25, 2014 you can join us in celebrating #RFGoNaked Day and show off your skin for a great cause. Every time a no-makeup selfie is posted on 7.25.2014 using the hashtag #RFGoNaked, Rodan + Fields will make a $1 donation to empower and educate students in need. HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!

Details for how to participate are in the flier below:

Happy Thanksgiving! – Anyone have a Donor’s Choose Project?

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends! For those of you who won’t be celebrating with us in the States, let me assure you that I will eat a piece of pie on your behalf 🙂

This week has been relatively quite on iLearn Technology as I wrap up projects, start some new projects, and get ready for the holiday. Just because I have been quite here doesn’t mean that I have been slacking; here is what I have been up to:

Education and the McRib- a comparison of the McRib sandwich and education on my Dreams of Education blog.
Education doesn’t need any more Nip Tuck: Our Normal Approach is Useless here- a comparison between breast implants and the education system. This was my 2 cents for blog4reform on Monday.
Interview with @ShellTerell on Wetoku about #twitacad and the start of a new school. Thanks Shelly, it is always fun chatting with you!

The Community of Learners Dream Team– my first post on the Cooperative Catalyst blog.
In October, I joined @adambellow of edutecher.net in his Change the world campaign. You can read more about that here: EduTecher Change the World post. I am cheating and calling it a day early so that I can post the results and not have to worry about it tomorrow. From October 1 to today I have had 54,656 absolute unique visitors to iLearn Technology (according to Google Analytics). Truly amazing! That works out to $546.56. Now, like Adam I had to cap my contribution at $400 (teacher who is not employed makes even less than a teacher who is!). I would love to use my contribution to fund some teacher Donor’s Choose projects. If you have a project on Donor’s Choose that you would like funded, please leave a comment below. If I get an overwhelming response, we can put it to a vote. If anyone would like to donate to help reach the $546.56, or would like to match in any way, please leave a comment. Help me to fund projects and dreams that will change students lives and make learning a richer experience!

I am truly thankful for all of my readers, you all encourage me regularly! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
