Support Breast Cancer Awareness

I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I have a family history of breast cancer. My mom is a survivor and my grandmother was also a survivor. I haven’t had a mammogram yet, but I have had an ultrasound. On top of my family history, I have a little something called Fibrocystic Breast Disease which sounds scarier than it is. FBC basically means I have lumpy breasts and that hormonal changes can be responsible for frequent changes and lumps. It’s important that I get everything checked out, but usually if I notice something unusual it will go away within a week or so. Having an ultrasound clearly distinguishes between fluid-filled breast cysts and solid masses. If you have any questions, or think you might have FBC, make sure to talk to your doctor about it.

Anything I can do to support research and treatment in this area is important to me so I am sharing some of the fun products and companies that are helping to raise money for the cause this month.

GLAMGLOW BUBBLESHEET™ Oxygenating Deep Cleanse Mask – Breast Cancer Awareness Edition ($9)

I love a face mask and this bamboo charcoal-infused sheet mask uses Green Tea to purify your skin and create a tingling 3D bubble experience that detoxifies your skin. GLAMGLOW is donating 20% from the purchase price to support Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Campaign through 12/31/18.

Stella & Dot Tribute Bracelet ($29)

I am in love with Stella & Dot’s bracelet this year, it is so cute! Through Oct. 31, Stella & dot will donate 20% of the purchase price to Bright Pink which focuses on prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer in young women.

This particular necklace goes even further to help support a special retreat for 20 families battling metastatic breast cancer.

Tory Burch Eau de Parfum Breast Cancer Awareness Rollerball ($30)

This fruity floral rollerball has key notes of neroli, peony and vetiver. Twenty percent of the proceeds go to Estee Lauder’s Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign.

I love to see Bachelor Nation using their popularity for good! You can read more on their collaboration in this article from Bustle.

Friday Favorites: Breast Cancer Awareness

I know sometimes that October can be a little crazy with all of the Breast Cancer Awareness, but I am one person that doesn’t mind. My mom is a breast cancer survivor and she is my inspiration. She is the strongest person I know and I hope that I can be half as strong as she is if I ever have to face the disease. I thought I would share some of my favorite products supporting Breast Cancer Awareness this month and make it my personal goal this month to support research this month. I am going to go a little over five this week, but I think it will be worth it:

1. Bobbi Brown Pretty Pink Ribbon Lip Gloss Collection ($60)

This great set includes four pink glosses including Pretty Pink Sheer, Pink Tulle High Shimmer, Bright Lilac and Soiree Pink Shimmer. Bobbi Brown will donate $12 of every sale to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

 3. La Mer Breast Cancer Awareness Hand Treatment ($45)

12. Nine West Tatiana ($79)

I think I may have saved the best for last – at least we are changing up the color! Nine West partnered with Fashion Targets Breast Cancer to create a limited edition shoe, the Tatiana. With or without this particular shoe, Nine West will donate $10 to FTBC for every blue “shoefie” you post to Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #9WFTBC. I think the only blue shoes I have are my wedding shoes, so I will have to kick it off with that.
