And just like that it’s September! Can you believe it?
This month I am once again looking forward to taking part in Liptember, a campaign dedicated to educating the community on women’s mental health, whilst raising funds towards specific women’s mental health research and support programs.
I had so much fun participating last year, and raised over $600 for the cause. So this year I am upping the ante, and aiming to raise $700 as my goal!
Just as I did last year, I will be wearing a different shade of lipstick everyday this month to gain funds and support programs such as The Centre of Women’s Mental Health, Lifeline Australia, Batyr, RUOK?, The Jean Hailes Foundation and The Pretty Foundation.
I will be posting my feature lippy each day over on my InstaStories, and also touch on some of the great beneficiaries of this event. So please make sure you come and follow me on Instagram at @luci_lilt_blog to follow my Liptmeber journey.
This cause is so important!
As a young professional woman in her thirties I see the struggle with mental health around me every single day. I myself had have had struggles with self doubt & anxiety, and I think it is so important that as women we empower and help each other overcome these hurdles and get rid of the stigma around mental health.
Let’s take care of each other and be stronger and healthier together!
I would absolutely love and appreciate your help and support to reach my goal by the end of the September, so please visit my Liptember profile to donate!
Every cent counts so even if you would like to donate $2, I would be so incredibly grateful.
And please read on below to see some of the great ways that Liptember helped their beneficiaries reach their goals in 2017!

In 2017 alone Liptember managed to:
