H&M to donate Dhs367,000 to Beirut from collaboration with Sandra Mansour

HM-X-Sandra-Mansour

Just prior to the tragic events that brought devastation to Lebanon’s capital city, H&M was set to launch its newest collaboration with Sandra Mansour, a Beirut-based brand.

Nearly one month on from the horrific blast, it’s estimated the explosion killed an estimated 200 people and has left 6,000 injured and damaged entire communities in Beirut.

Due to the tragic event, the H&M X Sandra Mansour was postponed, but has now launched in stores and online and features a 15-piece collection which is titled ‘Fleur de Soleil’.

Also to mark the launch, the Swedish high street brand is set to donate Dhs367,000 ($100,000) to the Lebanese Red Cross – a donation which will go towards helping those most affected by the blast.

Being based in Beirut, the designer was affected by the devastation like so many other fashion brands in the Lebanese capital.

Following the blast which happened at the beginning of August, Mansour shared a photo of some of the debris which occurred in her Beirut-based atelier.

“Our heart and soul is aching for our Lebanon,” she captioned the post. “Praying for all the victims of this horrific event. ⁣⁣To all those lost, may Your Souls Rest in Peace, and to all those affected, we are here to help. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“To our SM Team, we are so glad you are all safe and sound. Thank you for your dedication and effort. Without you, we would not be. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“Praying for our Lebanon. May God bless and protect this nation and its people. Stay strong beautiful Lebanon.⁣⁣”

The Everygirl’s November 2022 Streaming Guide

Want to stay in and watch a show? Me too. I used to get excited to dress up and stay out late, but I won’t lie to you: Those days are over. Instead, streaming what’s new is now my idea of a good time. Heck, I even mark release dates in my calendar. What can I say? I love being a homebody. With all of the streaming services now, it can be hard to keep up with what to watch and where to watch it.

What’s Really In Your Cup Of Decaf?

This article is sponsored by Clean Label Project . Opinions in this article are 100% my own. I don't know about you, but I have made several attempts at limiting my coffee consumption for health reasons. From wanting to sleep better at night, to just managing my vices, I am certain I am not the only one who has decided to make a switch from the caffeine rush. But I know there are plenty of individuals out there who make the switch from caffeinated coffee to decaf because of health reasons. Whether that means having an autoimmune issue, cardiovascular issue, high blood pressure, or because they are pregnant—there are many individuals who switch to decaf because of a health-related lifestyle change. If you are in this boat and are considering decaf coffee to live that caffeine-free lifestyle, you may want to think twice about that.
