The final event of the day was a red carpet, but part of the perks of this job is that I was able stop in and eat there. Oh, and I did "splurge" and buy a banana earlier. Other than that, though, I made it on nothing.

I know my experience living below the line was unique because of my job. Very few get to wear beautiful clothes, get hair and makeup provided by their employer and have supporting friends with means to help out. Still, it wasn't easy, and it certainly made me count my blessings more and take a moment to have gratitude for all of the giving people in the world.

Celebrities such as Ben Affleck (who is taking the challenge to support the Eastern Congo Initiative), Sophia Bush and Josh Groban are all supporting Live Below the Line.

What about you? Will you take the challenge starting April 29th?
