Tampa, Florida-- On Thursday, May 31, car loads of gently-used purses will be donated to Dress for Success Tampa Bay to give women in need, a "2nd chance."

Kim Washington, the independent senior executive director for Thirty-One Gifts created the "2nd Chances" Campaign, which involved guests at Thirty-One Gifts parties donating their gently-used handbags in exchange for a discount on their purchase.

Stephanie "FiFi" Rodriguez is a local upcoming entreprenuer.  FiFi is a nail tech, esthetician and makeup artist this lady does it all!  

Recently, Fifi decided to go for one of her life-long dreams which is to start her own cosmetics line.  Her line is named "FiR" which is not only short for FIERCE but also her initials for Fifi Rodriguez, very clever don't you think?  

The line still in its infancy stages, currently consists of eyeshadow pigments.  I personally own 4 of them: Blood Diamonds (red), Sage (green), Cotton Candy (light blue), and Midnight Sparkle (dark blue with sparkles).  These pigments are very pigmented and Fifi told me she created the line with makeup artists in mind.  If these colors are too bold for you she also recently added more neutral earthy colors with hues of golds and browns.
