Breast Cancer Awareness Month is coming to a close, but I know for many of you, you don't stop thinking about breast cancer when the month of October draws to an end. It's disheartening that breast cancer is so prevalent, and I'm sure every one of you knows someone who's been diagnosed, has recovered, or lost the battle against this horrible disease. Many of you have stories to share, and by letting others know it increases awareness about breast cancer and connects us in some way.
Almost every necklace
Dogeared creates, I fall in love with. I can't resist how delicate and understated they are.
The latest one, this
Dogeared "Find A Cure" Ribbon Charm Necklace ($26), arrives at an opportune time:
Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Kimberley Walsh took time out from
celebrating Girls Aloud's number one to return to her native Yorkshire and open a Haven Breast Cancer Centre in Leeds yesterday, having been inspired by her dance teacher Deana Morgan, who has recently been treated for breast cancer. As well as doing her bit for
Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Kimberley has also been
comforting band mate Cheryl after
Scott's tearful exit from The X Factor. Sounds like she's a great friend as well as a chart topping singer!
If you've shopped at all this month, you've likely come across dozens (if not hundreds) of pink-ribbon products. These items raise money for various breast cancer research groups; Estee Lauder alone is donating $500,000 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation this year. But with all of the pink-ribboned offerings, how can you choose wisely?
After publishing her first cookbook,
Around My Mother's Table,
Ribbon Chick Lisa Burton, continued her crusade to raise breast cancer awareness with
A la Pink, a breast cancer survivors recipe contest. Over the past year she's invited women to share their story and their best recipe. The winner,
Tina Herold and her scrumptious recipe, buffalo chicken cheese dip, were announced in September.Herold used her experience to open a wig shop that provides support and compassion for women with cancer.
In honor of October being
Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let's see what you know about this deadly disease. I've listed some statements about breast cancer. You decide which ones are fact and which ones are fiction.
Be splendid and
support breast cancer in this cute polka-dot pink tank. For every purchase,
Splendid, in conjunction with The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign, will donate $5 to the Breast Cancer Awareness fund.
Proceeds will help fund research to prevent and cure breast cancer.
OK, well, maybe it doesn't scientifically prevent breast cancer cells from forming, but what it does do is remind you to do your monthly breast exams. We all know we should be doing them religiously so that we know instantly if something doesn't feel right, but it can be tough to remember every month. So the
Cue Shower Clock ($25) does the remembering for you.
