Blogger Janet of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allthingsstyle.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Je Ne Sais Quoi<\/a> (also known by her blogging identity, iheartfashion) suffered a tragic loss this week when her husband took his own life. He had been unemployed for a period of time. Janet has two children, ages 7 and 9. She needs some financial help. You can donate any amount of money to her via Paypal by clicking on the &#8220;donate now&#8221; button in the upper right corner of this blog. (UPDATED MARCH 2, 2010: I&#8217;ve removed the button but you can continue to donate via <a href=\"http:\/\/spicerfamilysupport.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">this website<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>I know everyone is tapped out from donating to Haiti-related causes, so I&#8217;m giving you the chance to donate and get something nice back. If you buy one of my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/pro-detail.php?colid=33&amp;collect=true&amp;id=496\" target=\"_blank\">Teeny Genie necklaces<\/a> for $50 plus shipping and applicable taxes, I will donate $35 from every purchase to Janet. Valentine&#8217;s Day is coming up. Get an adorable necklace for you or someone you love and help Janet at the same time.<\/p>\n<p><em>Please note:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Genies will cost $61.40 for U.S. priority shipping with delivery confirmation, excluding taxes.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Additional taxes will be automatically charged to New York State residents.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>I will have to calculate shipping for international locations. After I receive your order, I will figure it out and send you an invoice with the total.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Genies will start going out Monday and I&#8217;ll let you know when yours is on the way.

If you MUST have a box because this is a gift, send me a note. Otherwise, assume your Genie will be free-range. If I send you a jewelry box and use larger shipping packaging, I will be donating $30 to Janet instead of $35.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Genie-Silver_300.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4924\" title=\"Genie Silver_300\" src=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Genie-Silver_300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Genie-Silver_300.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Genie-Silver_300-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Genie-Silver_300-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>paypal-item-496- <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve got bad news for you.
