Look good Feel good

Just finished the wonderful Look good Feel good course here in Adelaide of skincare , makeup and wigs/headgear.Not only were the volunteers who ran it lovely people it was good to be with other ladies undergoing treatment for cancer.The course is offered across Australia and sponsored by major cosmetic companies who provide each participant with a goodies bag customised to the individual.I recommend a look on their website as a nice way to have a bit of a boost to your morale.
  • Hi Romla I am so glad you got benefit from the workshop.  I just started volunteering at these workshops it is such a supportive environment and does make you feel better.  The best story I ever heard of a positive result was a young mum who generally did not wear makeup and could not afford it as it was a luxury item.  When she got home from the workshop her two young boys ran up to her and told her she was beautiful. They said "mummy you look so beautiful does that mean you are getting better".  She now wears a little bit of make up (provided free at the workshop) every day.  She said it has helped her boys worry less which in turn helps her.  It is a great free service and recommend all you ladies out there get on to it.  Workshops are run all over Australia including regional areas.  It is really easy to register at www.lgfb.org.  It also provides great tips on scalp care, wigs and head scarfes
  • Oops its called Look good Feel better and they also provide courses for teenagers and men undergoing cancer treatment .Not sure what these courses involve.All courses are free.
