Todays body image and jewelry making event had an even better turnout than our kickoff event! We saw a large handful of people returning from our first event, which was nice - and I hope the increase in participants at our meetings will be an ongoing trend!

The folks at Caravan Beads were kind enough to donate to us a very hefty box of beads, featuring freshwater pearls, black pears, silver seed beads and more!
Thistle Hill Glass donated beautiful handmade lampwork glass beads in all different (but equally gorgeous) shapes, colors and sizes!
Additionally -Rachel, Lindsay and Erin from the Women's Resource Center were all kind enough to bring in their own boxes of beads to share with everyone.

Pie was provided by Two Fat Cats bakery, while other pastries came to us via the good people at Panera. North Star Cafe donated tea to us again... because what would the Ladies Underground Tea and Arsenic Society be without its partial namesake?

Representatives from the USM Counseling Center guided us with prompts about body image. It was a fantastic discussion and we made some fabulous jewelry! If you ever have any questions or concerns about yourself or friends on campus, the counseling center is always there for you.
