Simply Me Charity Event was a huge success...

A fantastic Press Release...
Local Southampton Business Raises Money for Charity through Successful Event
Simply Me Supported the FITE Charity Through a Beauty Evening

Simply Me, a local Southampton business, which provides high quality, spa standard beauty treatments and products to it clients, has hosted a beauty pamper evening specifically to make a change to women’s businesses in developing countries. Simply Me teamed up with Dermalogica, a skincare supplier, to support the charity FITE (Financial Independence Through Entrepreneurship). In a direct response from the beauty evening owner of Simply Me, Sophie Sexton has managed to raise over £200 and continues to support the charity through sales from Dermalogica products that the salon stocks.

FITE is a new global platform to help women entrepreneurs around the world in developing countries start or grow a business through microloans. Recipients of the loans apply for it to help increase stock or create capital to set up their business to give them the chance to be independent and create a living for themselves. Simply Me supports FITE, not only through events but also through the purchase of Dermalogica products bought from the salon, each packet provides a code, which when entered into the FITE website donates $1 to the charity.

Sophie Sexton comments, “I felt that by choosing Dermalogica as a supplier to my salon I not only provide the highest quality skincare products to my clients, but I also help give something back to society. I think it is important that no matter how large or small your business, you support and give to those who are in need. Hence my decision to go one step further and host a luxury beauty evening to raise even more.”

The Simply Me Charity Event was hosted at The White Horse Hotel in Romsey on Wednesday 19th October, and had a sell-out success with 37 people buying tickets for the exclusive evening. Simply Me provided various activities for attendees consisting of:

-    A Skin Analysis by a Dermalogica Skin Expert
-    A Facial Tutorial using Dermalogica products
-    A make-up Tutorial with Mii Cosmetics
-    A makeover with Mii Cosmetics
-    The chance to win a trip to New York and visit Dermalogica’s HQ for treatments
-    The opportunity to win other great skin care prizes thanks to Simply Me’s raffle
-    Canapés and drinks
-    The chance to purchase Dermalogica and Mii products, a percentage of which is donated to FITE.

Joanne Alan, a Simply Me client who attended commented on the evening, “I really enjoyed this evening, not only did I benefit from amazing treatments and beauty products, but I know that we are raising money to help entrepreneurs in developing countries. I am impressed by how much a difference just one salon can make to someone’s life in a developing country that does not have the same opportunities that we do.”

Sophie Sexton, owner and founder of Simply Me is determined to continue to raise money for this great cause and give something to women who don’t have the same opportunities that she had when setting up a business.
