EARTH DAY CONTEST WINNER Jessica Orr Ulery

Congratulations to Jessica Orr Ulery, our Earth Day Model Citizen. Jessica, a pre-school teacher, bundled up her gaggle of adorable students and embarked with them on a mission to clean up the trash in their neighborhood.  Along the way they learned about reusing, recycling and reducing.  Jessica is teaching the next generation to be guardians of this planet that we all call home—and that’s what Earth Day is all about!

When we reached out to Jessica to let her know that she was the winner of a full set of our Model Citizen products (signed by Josie and Ian, no less), she shared that over the past few years she has lost 224 pounds, and will be running in the Peachtree 10K in Atlanta to raise funds for the Ian Somerhalder Foundation—a cause that’s close to her heart. Jessica says, “Running this race, especially for something I believe in so passionately, is life-changing for me.”

We are touched every time we hear the amazing stories of our beautiful customers. Jessica’s dedication to doing good shows us once again that we have the best customers in the world!

Thanks, Jessica, and to everyone who entered the Earth Day Model Citizen contest. We were truly touched by your stories, and the ways in which each of you is changing our world for the better.
