"this year, north america will spend approx. 17 billion dollars on makeup. according to world bank and UN studies, it would only take 15 billion to feed every child and make sure one doesn't die from poverty every two seconds"

Well, since I am your mom I might as well be the first to comment! It's about time you updated your blog Vicki, as today you are actually Leaving on a Jet Plane for T.O., then London and Uganda tomorrow night!! Have a wonderful time visiting Les & Lindsay tonight and have a good, productive visit with Ryan from Give tomorrow. God is blessing you, even as I write this!! It's been great having you home these past 7 weeks. You're a great barista! See you on Sept. 8th. The time will fly. Love YOUR MOM
