Sex and the City‘s Miranda ended the the show’s six-season run with a lesson in the real meaning of love — and it looks like her character’s charitable spirit hit home with Cynthia Nixon, who has just announced that she is teaming up with Curel for the second time, to launch the “Share the Gift of Caring” campaign to benefit the Red Cross. Curel has already donated $250,000 to the initiative, which raises money to help victims of disasters in this country and around the world. And with you’re help they plan to raise $10,000 more — on their dime. Just click the “Donate $1″ button at Curel.com, and pass the message of the campaign along to a caring friend, and the beauty brand will donate a buck to the cause. Get more information on the Curel website or on the limited-edition bottles Continuous Comfort Original Formula Lotion, which honors the fundraiser.

Angie Harmon and Purex Help Women in Need — You Can Too!

Angie Harmon may have given birth to her third girl, Emery, just five months ago, but a new baby isn’t the only thing keeping her busy. The actress has partnered in a new project with detergent brand Purex, which benefits entrepreneurial women in developing countries through with micro-lending site Kiva.org. In celebration of their newest laundry innovation — an economical 3-in-1 product that contains detergent, softener and anti-static in a single sheet that moves with clothes through the entire laundry process — Purex is offering a $1 to give to a mom in need. “You go to PurexChangesLives.com,” Angie explains, “and you can pick from a slew of pre-approved women that want to start their own business and get their family out of a poverty situation. You register the number that’s on the back of the box — and you control where the dollar goes!” And she’s become enthralled with the process herself, having helped women all over the world. “I had a lady in South America who was starting a grocery store,” she says. “She needed $130 — that’s it! — to start her own business and to help her children. When you think about how much one dollar can help these women, it’s moving, and that’s what I loved about PurexChangesLives.com.”
