Happy October everybody! October is breast cancer awareness month, and there is so much that we can do to help find a cure, donate to research, and support survivors. Breast cancer is one of the most easily treatable cancers if detected early. One of the biggest fallacies is that breast cancer is something only women have to be concerned with. Men can also be at risk for breast cancer, as they also have breast tissue! We can all do something to help the cause for curing and treating breast cancer. There are many beauty and fashion companies that make products in which all proceeds go directly to charities. Here are some links, and amazing products that work in two ways; keeping you gorgeous, and helping those in need.
Make sure to check out Totalbeauty.com’s Breast Cancer Awareness Shopping Guide. Clinique is just one of the companies contributing to such an amazing cause. This special edition of their Dramatically Different Moisturizer (which I’ve never met someone who didn’t love it), donates to Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Also featured is Bobbi Brown’s Pink Ribbon collection which boasts beautiful lip glosses and colors. The two I’ve mentioned are only a few of the amazing products on TB’s shopping guide. Make sure to check out the products, and take note of the amazing cause you’ll be helping out.
Beauty companies worldwide are focusing on this important cause, but clothing companies also donate to charities and foundations as well. Consider shopping on The Susan G. Komen For The Cure Promise Shop. The shop features beautiful ‘Warrior’ Scarves, in which each symbol means something different. Also on the website are Komen Holiday cards, and watches. Why not have Holiday cards which also help a good cause?
And, finally, you can even help the cause to cure breast cancer when you go out to eat. Panera features a Pink Ribbon Bagel for the month of October. As I used to work there I can tell you it’s pretty delicious. It has dried cherries and a vanilla flavor, and tastes great alone or with your morning cup of coffee.
If you want to learn more, I’ve included some amazing links. Check them out and be informed!

There’s two Panera’s right near my house, so I guess I have no excuse to go buy one.
I was going to purchase this Canon Powershot just for the hell of it for breast cancer awareness month – http://estore.usa.canon.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10051&storeId=10051&partNumber=17701&langId=-1&WT.mc_id=ACS008

…what did I say?
I meant, so I guess I don’t have an excuse not to go buy one.
Blah.

I need to ask about the whole bagel deal at work. The bagels are still shaped normally and we don’t have any signs about how some of the money that goes into buying our vanilla bagels will be given to cancer research centers.
Anyway, nice informative post

How have you been?
My domain is going to expire in a couple of days, but I’ll be back in action with something new, very soon!
Take care!

breast awareness is a great idea and why not buy and donate at the same time. really sure does make you feel a lot better to buy something knowing it goes to a great cause

I love clinique moisturizers/face washes – so good and so classic.

it’s great how all sorts of corporations get together during the month of october to help raise money for breast cancer research. but it makes me kind of sad because they should be helping year round with things like this.

I think it is great companies go out and try to help raise money for breast cancer, because it is so important that we alert all women (and men). I love the bagel that Panera sells – so CUTE! I’ve already bought one, too
Great post, Christine!
