Raw Sugar sweetens lives

Longboaters Donda Mullis and Ronnie Shugar, owners of natural beauty brand Raw Sugar, back up their message with actions, recently donating dozens of full-sized products to Sarasota and Bradenton charities.

They brought the products to Longboat Island Chapel, where they will be passed on to women’s charities and places that offer shelter, housing and showers, including Resurrection House, Harvest House and Turning Point.

“We’re really about feeling good in your own skin and celebrating ourselves,” Mullis said. "This serves the inner meaning of our business."
