Happy Monday Everybody! October is officially National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I want to encourage you to support this cause year round, instead of just one month. I think we all know someone who has been affected by it, the seriousness of this disease and the importance of research.Donate, get involved in sponsored marathons, purchase pink products and participate in local activities. There are TONS of pink products online and in stores, however not all contribute to the cause. So be careful! If you buy PINK, make sure at least a portion is given to a reputable charity. I've attached some pink products that I thought were really nice and I'm hosting an OPI giveaway. Enjoy and Think PINK!

What a great post to bring awareness to Breast Cancer Awareness month! My grandmother passed away from breast cancer and my aunt is a survivor, so this is a cause dear to my heart. Kayla and I will be posting a Mother/Daughter Remix rocking our pink this month :) Heather
ReplyDeleteI love supporting companies' breast cancer awareness campaigns. Those nail polishes are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely be wearing pink!
ReplyDeleteI will be celebrating this month with my dear aunt who is celebrating 5 years cancer free.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to see how many pink I have in my closet, will definitely rock it for a good cause!

Besides getting my own exam (scheduled for Thursday) I also do a week long of posts reminding people to get their exams and also wearing a pink garment and telling stories about people i know that have had cancer.
ReplyDeleteYes!! This is a great cause & I have a cancer link on my 'Love' page on my blog along with other causes I raise money for. My Nana had breast cancer & had both removed because of it, she passed away from cancer, so I think it's important to raise awareness and get checked myself :) Cancer is something that doesn't discriminate, so we all have to be into it together to raise awareness!! I wear pink during this month and raise money too. And buy 'pink' products as well. Love the polishes and love how they put the ribbons on the tops, so people will know straight away what it's for an buy them to show their support, that is wonderful. Have a sweet day doll!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder Kim! I have a friend who always walks and I will donate to her and shop around for pink goodies too!

It's awesome that so many companies have contributed to this event! I wouldn't mind buying pink products at all~~
ReplyDeleteAlso, joining the giveaway! I haven't decided yet but it would either be posting to my blog or buying the products to donate! :) (Or both! :D)
Happy October Kimmy! How about this cold front? Is it time to switch the closet over. I NEED the pink sparkly nail polish. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe president of the Pussyfooters is currently going through treatment for breast cancer. I'm going to donate to her Walk for the Cure team and if I can join her team I will.
What is a GFC follower?
I'm a follower.
ReplyDeleteI pulled out my Pink Breast Cancer Awareness bracelet this morning and will wear it all month long. My mom is a breast cancer survivor and this is a cause that is very near and dear to me.
Thank you.
Im wearing Pink & supporting Breast Cancer Awareness all this month.
ReplyDeleteAlso I'm planning to write something about Breast Cancer.
Thank you
Great post, Kim, and a lovely list of products! I'm definitely gonna grab some of them!

Have to read up on Rancic for Loft...sounds interesting. And those OPI Pink of Hearts polishes look super adorbs!
ReplyDeleteI'll be hosting a pink giveaway this month too!
Hi Kim! First, thank you so much lovely one for such a sweet comment on the blog ... your comments are always such a treat to read! Next, I LOVE OPI. Since I can't use nail polishes that have bad things in them like formaldehyde and toulene, OPI has been my go-to polish for a long time. Wonderful post to bring attention to breast cancer awareness ... I'll definitely be wearing pink and you've now put the seed in all of our minds of what else we should do. Have a wonderful first week in October, sweet thing. ~xoSandy

why did i think february was national breast cancer month? probably the pink. i really love all the products that benefit the cause that come out -essie's colors are great this year! i am lucky to not be close (blood related) to anyone who has had breast cancer - it's such a large problem! i really want to pick up some of the items to help support - like the essie colors or something else. it's small, sure, but i can choose a pink, does a little good product over another.

My computer kept shutting down when I was trying to leave a comment, so sorry if you got a duplicate--love this post, it's one close to my own heart as most of the women in our family have succumbed to cancer. That sparkly polish looks fabulous! Hope all is well with you Kim!

I love that so many brands get involved for Breast Cancer Awareness Month! It's great to see them all involved.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many great ways to support this cause, you've highlighted so many that I didn't even know about! Kitchen Aid is calling ma name!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome Kim, didn't know there were so many initiatives. My two cousins are breast cancer survivors. I'll have to pick up a ribbon or two ;) x

I love this post! My school is doing a special Denim Day for breast cancer awareness this Friday, so I'll be participating in that! :) I really want to win this set so I can blog about pink and especially pink nail polish and post swatches. Also, I'd wear the polish during this month as another breast cancer awareness act. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Love this post Kim. It's now been just over a year since I lost my Grandma to breast cancer so this is definitely a cause close to my heart.

Well wearing pink definitely won't be hard for me! :o) I love when the NFL has all the pink stuff for October. So fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm going the pink bracelt from dukas and estee lauder!!
ReplyDeleteHello dear, thank you for the giveaway,count me in! I have never ever won anything, but I keep trying!!! What am I going to do? I'm not sure yet. Today I spoke for an hour to a woman who suffered from breast cancer and is hopefully out of danger thanks to the new therapies Researchers figured out. She is promoting research, this sweet petit brave woman. Hugs Coco
ReplyDeleteI wear lots of pink! And I buy all the pink things at the store that are for breast cancer awareness. Actually chances are I will buy these this weekend. I lost an aunt and her mother (not blood related to me) to breast cancer, so I am very aware of early intervention and the blessing we have had that several of my other female family members have only lost parts of their bodies and not their lives
ReplyDeleteI'll be wearing pink, pink, and more pink, in honor of all , especially my best friend, Cindy.
ReplyDeletei'm a GFC follower of course! what pretty polish. that's an awesome giveaway! i'll definitely be wearing pink this month!!!

What a great giveaway Kim!! It just made me realize that it was time for me to register as a volunteer and sign up for a 3-mile walk. I'm already following you via GFC :)

This one is close to my heart since a few friends of mine are breast cancer survivors. I plan to wear my pink ribbon and purchase a few of the items to support the cause.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another fantastic giveaway Kim!

A great giveaway and a fantastic cause. I'm already a follower, and I guess entering this contest and wearing pink would be my contribution. Oh, and I give birth soon, so will be promoting breastfeeding, which has been proven to reduce chances of breast cancer.
