It's in the Bag - Packing Party

Girls Who Boss is a supporter of [Share the Dignity](https://www.sharethedignity.org.au/) \- a charity that \(amongst other wonderful action\) provides essentials such as period products to women living in domestic violence shelters at Christmas time\. Each year at this time of year, Share the Dignity runs their [It's in the Bag ](https://www.sharethedignity.org.au/itsinthebag)drive, which encourages donations of the essential products that will be gifted. We're bringing together our community to help expand our impact, through a packing party. Here's how it works: **Step 1** Head to the supermarket before the event to grab some essential products from the following list: * Period Products * Shampoo * Conditioner * Toothbrush * Toothpaste * Deodorant (roll-on preferred) * Soap or Body Wash **Step 2** We encourage you to bring along something special to add to the bag - perfume, skincare, an uplifting book. This isn't required, but it's a nice additional step. **Step 3** Come along to our packing party, where we'll pack bags and then the Girls Who Boss team will deliver them to a collection centre. On the day, we'll have a card making station so that you can include a hand-written card within the bag. Can't make it, but want to contribute? We have a donation link [here](https://www.sharethedignity.org.au/fundraisers/Girlswhoboss).

**Gain The Confidence to Be Unstoppable! Free Class.** How to Achieve Self Confidence! Without question, self confidence is the key to success. It determines how many of your goals you achieve in life and has an enormous impact on your happiness. It affects how people perceive you, your career achievements, your ability to take risks or try new endeavours, as well as your overall attitude toward yourself and others. Self Confidence is something most people would like to have more of, but aren't sure how to get. Did you ever feel more certain of yourself in the past? Would you like to raise your self confidence ? To increase self confidence, you have to understand what reduces it. If you know why this happens you can reverse the situation and rebuild your self esteem. Self Confidence is self-determinism. One's belief in one's ability to determine his own course. As long as one has that, he's got the universe in his pocket. - L. Ron Hubbard.
