October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month


...so, ladies (and guys, too!) get involved by doing something as simple as feeling your boobies; even you're young and your chances are very slim you might as well get some practice in (:
This month sport some pink, walk for a foundation, or donate. There are a lot of organizations that make donating easy by teaming up with brands who sell products (usually pink) and devote a portion of the proceeds go to breast cancer research. I know I will be purchasing a favorite hair product: It's a 10 leave-in spray which comes in a limited edition hot pink bottle. The proceeds from the sale benefit Christina Applegate's Foundation, Right Action for Women whose mission is to educate women about breast cancer as well as "provide aid to individuals who are at increased risk for breast cancer and do not have insurance or the financial flexibility to cover the high costs associated with breast screenings." More info can be found at  www. rightactionforwomen.org


If you open any women's magazine this month they are filled with breast cancer related articles and ways to support breast cancer awareness with your wallet. 


At the least, feel your boobies...or have someone else do it for you ;)
