Trudy Goes Green

27/5/2014

A few weeks back, Trudy McKnight dyed her hair a beautiful bottle green, not for the elections, not for an audition for Wicked.. but to raise money for Children on the Edge!

A Body Shop at Home Consultant, Trudy was working on increasing her party bookings. She decided to try an online training session from her Regional Manager and found this tip:

TOP TIP 30


Try putting this phrase on your facebook

Hi girls. Please complete this phrase.

“I will book a Body Shop Party with you only if.......

So she did... People started posting suggestions like ‘bring chocolate/wine’, ‘If it’s free’ etc.... so Trudy responded by saying that she needed a bit more of a challenge than that. It was at this point that one of her best friends suggested dying her hair Corporate Body Shop Green.

Trudy says “I have always been passionate about Children on the Edge, but even more so since I heard at our September conference what was happening in Uganda, so decided to do it to raise money for the project. Also my grandmother had recently passed away and the last photos we had of her were her having a laugh dressing up in a corset and stockings at 76 years old (as a result of a card sent to her by my cousin)! I figured life is far too short and it was time to do something wild”.

Trudy took the plunge, dyed her locks Body Shop green and is now looking for a permanent dye to keep the colour as long as possible, to continue raising funds for our work!

We think she’s a brave lady and she looks great. If you want to sponsor Trudy’s green tresses then donations can be made through her just giving page or you can donate £3 by texting "COTE54 £3" to 70070.
