Greetings! I'm a bit late with this post, so I hope you'll forgive me. Last week was Mental Illness Awareness Week. For most people, mental illnesses are something that they can sweep under a rug and not have to think about, However for millions of Americans living with these mental illness, they can't escape their reality, or the stigma and misunderstanding around these illnesses. I've dealt with depression and mental illness for as long as I can remember. And I know the feeling of putting on a mask of normality in order to hide my illness. Sadly, it takes the passing of someone as beloved as Robin Williams to open up discussions about mental health.
Shortly after Robin Williams' passing, Carolyn from Liquid Sky Lacquers created a very special trio of polishes that celebrated his life and work. Inspired by three of his most loved movies, the sales of these polishes was 100% donated to charity - 50% went to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline, and the other 50% went to Families for Depression Awareness. Her goal was to raise $500 for these organizations. At last count, she had raised close to $5,000. I want to share these very special polishes with you today.
