BRB. We're Observing #DayWithoutAWoman

Here's how you can too

Today is International Women's Day, a day that celebrates women's achievements and asks both men and women to come together to demand equality in the workforce and close the wage gap.

Total Beauty is a site that believes in empowering women, to help them feel confident and put their best self forward. Self-confidence is critical for happiness; but more than that, it allows us to voice strong opinions, advocate for others and bring about meaningful change.

One of the best things we can do as empowered, independent women is to help others succeed. In the words of Michelle Obama, "When you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you. You reach back and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed."

Today, we take part in A Day Without a Woman to highlight just how vital women's contributions are to the workplace, economy and home. Instead of updating the site and our social media feed, Total Beauty editors are donating their services to shelters around Los Angeles, by putting together care packages for women and others who are marginalized.

Because we do not live in a country where every woman can afford to take time away from work or her kids to strike, we encourage men and women to participate in whatever way they can -- by offering free child care to a single mom, donating time or money to a female-focused charity (see our list below), mentoring women at work or school, or educating others about harmful gender stereotypes.

However you choose to support the cause, remember that change begins within. Even when you're feeling timid (because we all do at times), we encourage you to lean in, be strong, act courageously and #beboldforchange.

Tell us in the comments below how you plan on being bold for change.
