Today, Heather and the b.LUXE team had the incredible honor of joining the @patriotsfoundation for the Patriots Day of Pampering at @gillettestadium, part of the NFL’s #CrucialCatch initiative. 🤩✨🎀💗

The day began with a special welcome from Patriots legend Andre Tippett, Executive Director of Patriots Community Affairs and three-time Hall of Famer. 🏈❤️

Fifteen cancer patients and survivors from @danafarber and @massgeneral were invited to spend the day being cared for, celebrated and, most importantly, spoiled a little. 💗

For @b.luxewigsandtoppers , the day was about something we see every day in our salon and wig studio: the impact hair can have on how you feel when you look in the mirror.

As guests move through treatment and into recovery, their hair can change in ways they may not expect. Heather spent time offering personalized hair consultations, answering questions about regrowth, wigs and toppers, and helping each guest understand the options available as their hair continues to change.

We were also so happy to send guests home with a b.LUXE gift 🎀✨

The entire day was filled with thoughtful experiences, including yoga with the @patriotscheerleaders and special activities and treats from @muse_paintbar @dreamspamedical and @kendrascott

A special thank you, too, to our fellow local beauty professionals from Hair Nail It and @bellezzasalonmedspa in Franklin for sharing their time and talents to help make this day so special. 💕✨

Also a HUGE thank you to the @patriotsfoundation @patriots @patriotplace @gillettestadium and @nfl for bringing together such a meaningful day of care, connection and confidence.

We were honored to be one small part of it. 💕🏈

Part 2 of 2…. As I said in “part 1”, I don’t usually use this channel to post about my personal #collection but today I’m excited to share. I recently purchased a Slab Case XL from @zioncasesco - truly the best value in the hobby when it comes to protecting your graded treasures. I’m using mine to house most (but not all) of my best & favorite @patriots items in my PC, from a couple of @tombrady 🐐 #rookiecards to the majority of my #1 rated Gino Cappelletti and John Hannah master sets on the @psacard Set Registry, to dozens of other RCs and #autographs . I thought my followers might enjoy peeking at a sampling of what’s now stored inside. @backer56 #footballcards

A full-circle moment for Just Us!

We are incredibly proud to share that Just Us Movement Founder & Executive Director Zeno R. Temple has been selected as a 2026 Myra Kraft Community MVP, with the Just Us Movement receiving a grant in recognition of his service to the community.

What began as an idea rooted in service has grown because an extraordinary group of board members, volunteers, partners, supporters, and community members chose to believe that we could build something meaningful together.

This recognition may display our founder’s name, but it belongs to a much larger community of people who have helped cultivate the mission.

We share our profound appreciation to the Kraft family, New England Patriots Foundation, and everyone involved with the Myra Kraft Community MVP Awards for recognizing community-rooted service and investing in organizations working throughout New England.

And we’re especially grateful to everyone who has helped shape the Just Us Movement.

There is no Us without you!

In honor of today’s first home game against the Steelers, we stopped by the Patriots Pro Shop with Patriots and Pro Football Hall of Famer Andre Tippet to test a few Pats fans on their Patriots trivia.

We had some merch and game tickets to give away, and maybe gave out a hint or two along the way…

Let’s go Pats!🏈
