That’s it! You all need to go to your room until you’re ready to tell me which one of you really pissed off Mother Nature.

Don’t make me come over there.

Helping Haiti

01.15.2010 | Author SMS

We all see the pictures on CNN of the devastation the earthquake wrought on Haiti and we all know deep down inside that even the horrors we see are those that are deemed appropriate for public viewing, and the realities of this situation are so much worse than the vast majority of us have experienced or will experience in our lives.

I have listed several charities below that are, in my opinion, the best to share what little we can when so much is so desperately needed. Please consider helping the people of Haiti, most of whom have known nothing but desperation all their lives and are now living in horror we couldn’t even begin to imagine, and I’m afraid, has only just begun.

How She Rolls

Susan Maxwell Schmidt is the internationally-collected jewelry artist behind LongLocks HairSticks. Her designs have appeared in Demetrios Bridal's "For the Bride" magazine and "Upscale Magazine." The LongLocks HairSticks Boutique was Lucky Magazine's top pick for Best Hair Web Site in their May 2009 issue.

Though a native New Yorker, Ms. Schmidt currently resides in the fashion non capitol of the world–East Nottingham, PA–where the Amish are the fashion trendsetters and John Deere green appears in the color forecast every season.

Ms. Schmidt enjoys driving fast, annoying her husband, sleeping late and disturbing the neighbors. She also fancies herself a fashionista, though this is likely nothing more than a rather sad delusion on her part. It’s best just to play along.
