Happy International Women's day! Today is all about celebrating the incredible achievements of women. There are numerous ways to get involved, so here are just a few of our favourite ideas to help you celebrate this important day on a personal level.
Do something for a woman you love
Call your mum and remind her that you love her and you're thankful for everything she's done, or organise a wine and pamper night with your bestie! It doesn't have to be anything major, just a small yet thoughtful action that lets the females closest to you know that you appreciate them.
Donate to a women's refuge
Donating funds or supplies to a women's refuge is a surefire way to make a huge impact on the life of a woman dealing with difficult circumstances. A great place to start is contacting your local women's refuge and requesting what they refer to as a 'shelter wishlist'. If you're Sydney-based, visit the Women's Community Shelters website.
Support female entrepreneurs
Supporting female-owned brands is one of the best ways to promote financial equality, which is in line with this year's campaign theme; #BalanceforBetter. Read about beauty brands on lookfantastic that were founded by fearless females here.
