FABY Nails has teamed up with the Butterfly Foundation, inviting everyone to NAIL IT during the month of May, as a symbol against negative body image and eating disorders.
Every year, approximately one million Australians suffer from an eating disorder. It is the most misunderstood mental illness in Australia, yet equates the highest fatality rate compared to other mental illnesses.
The Butterfly Foundation’s MAYDAYS for eating disorders aims to raise awareness on the seriousness of eating disorders and the need for improved treatment and prevention services.
By starting a conversation around the cause and effects of eating disorders, the foundation aims to remove the stigma associated with this mental illness. They aim to create a society that celebrates individualism, healthy lifestyles, well-being and diversity, and encourage everyone to have a positive body image.
The Butterfly Foundation and FABY Nails are encouraging everyone to ‘nail it’ by nailing a personal goal they have always intended to achieve, for example; run a marathon, volunteer work, or buy nothing new for the month of May. Or you can simply paint a nail in support of positive body image.
All funds raised by the MAYDAY NAIL IT campaign will go towards better prevention and treatment services, and greater community education on the devastating impact eating disorders have on sufferers, their families and our community.
Along with funds raised, FABY will donate 100% of profits from retail and online sales of nail lacquers sold during the month of May 2016.
