March 8^th 2010 marked the 99^th anniversary of International Women’s Day.

She Creates Change and WEP partnered to host a spa evening at the James Corbett Studio on Union Square to celebrate International Women’s Day and support the WEP cause.

Guests were treated to organic makeup, massage and a range of spa treatments, all while helping raise money for charity.

Entering the spa through a hall decorated with the profiles of important female figures, from environmentalist Rachel Carson to First Lady Michelle Obama, guests were welcomed into the friendly atmosphere of the James Corbett Studio.

Celebrity makeup artist Rose Marie Swift came prepared with organic products to provide free makeup sessions for guests, and everyone left feeling more relaxed, more beautiful and more inspired to help empower young women.

The James Corbett Studio donated time and space to hold the celebration of International Women’s Day at their Union Square location. “Be the change you wish to see in the world,” quoted James Corbett, owner, “I wish to see a more caring, sharing, nurturing world.”

Recognizing, celebrating and participating in International Women’s Day is a way to make that world a reality.

WEP and She Creates Change thank all those who participated in this year’s International Women’s Day!
