How Our Flagship Store Manager Makes Her Community #BetterEveryDay
One of the things we’re committed to here at Murad is making a difference—in our community and our world. This includes everything from volunteering to paying it forward to performing random acts of kindness. Whatever you can do to make the world a better place. The manager of our flagship store, Miranda Rios, offers us a perfect example of how she’s making her community #BetterEveryDay, one sweet bulldog at a time.

I’ve always been a huge animal lover! Growing up, I remember begging my mom for a dog of my own, but somehow we always ended up with goldfish or hamsters. When I turned 15, my mom came home from the animal shelter with a small, white Maltese named Georgie, and I was in love. Over the last 18 years, I’ve had three dogs that have made me #BetterEveryDay, and each one has found a special place in my heart. Though I don’t like to play favorites, I have found a special bond between myself and my 8-year-old English Bulldog Hefner. If you know anything about bulldogs, you know they are a very special breed with lots of personality. I was introduced to Southern California Bulldog Rescue (SCBR) through Facebook a few years ago, and I have followed their bulldog stories over the years. I love reading about the success stories and updates after the bulldogs go to their “fur-ever” homes.

I always wanted to volunteer with an animal rescue organization, but found it difficult while working weekends, so I was excited to find out that I could support SCBR in other ways. This year, I’m committed to encouraging others to get involved with their local animal rescue. A few of the ways you can get involved include: volunteering at adoption events, donating items, educating others about rescue, promoting rescue initiatives on social media, and contributing with monetary donations. By donating as little as $10 a month, you can make a huge difference with an animal rescue.
At the beginning of the year, I decided to start collecting items for SCBR at our new flagship store in Los Angeles. Currently, SCBR has over 100 bulldogs in rescue and could use the additional items. To learn more about SCBR, you can check their website at socalbulldogrescue.org or follow @socalbulldogrescue on Instagram.
Donations can be dropped off at the Murad Flagship Store, 8207 W. 3rd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90048.

If you get a chance, stop by the Murad Flagship Store in Los Angeles and say hello to Miranda. She played an integral part in getting our first-ever retail store off the ground last year. Miranda has worked in the cosmetics industry since 2007 and really knows her stuff when it comes to skincare, especially healing dry, dehydrated skin . Thank you, Miranda, for sharing your story about how you help make it #BetterEveryDay for rescue animals.
