This months Bettie adventure featured our achilles heel,our one true weakness,our hearts deepest and darkest desires & our one true joy "baked goods of the sweets variety".(we've got a love hate relationship as you can see). In true Bettie fashion all the proceeds of this event went towards an admirable fund, to help people who suffer with PTSD. There is such a stigma around mental illness & at times it isn't taken seriously, as such the people affected don't always get the help they deserve or need. We strive to make a positive impact and difference in others lives in anyway we can, so we simply had to be apart of this. Often times when people are dealing with a mental illness, they just need someone to reach out and give them a helping hand. That's what we did in our bake sale although it is small in the grand scheme of things, our bake sale will help improve lives even if just a little bit and that is always worth volunteering for. Now in order to show our support we simply had to dress in the sweetest themed outfits possible & contribute to the sale right?(This is our reasoning behind themed outfits, don't question it!). So that's exactly what we did we even tried our hand at gluten free / vegan baking + included pictures of our master piece below.

We hope you enjoyed this weeks Betty adventures, we had a blast going out to raise funds for such a worthy cause. We also had a ball trying to gluten free bake, it was definitely an interesting challenge to say the least. We give props to those of you who eat this way on a regular basis, we don't know how you do it.(Obviously we had no idea what we were doing haha,but if you want to share your favorite recipes we're all ears)We also want to thank all those who came out to show their support for such a wonderful cause our significant others included + the brick City Betties for continuously allowing us to cause change for the better.
We feel deeply grateful to be able to be apart of such an amazing group full of kind & selfless individuals, striving to make a difference in the name of pinups & all things fabulous everywhere ! This experience really opened our eyes to the opportunities around that allow us to make a difference. We spent years hoping to find a way to truly make a difference while doing what we loved & it's safe to say we finally found it! (Who says you can't be dressed pinup style + make a positive difference ? Certainly not us !).
