Have you entered our Alexandra Beth Designs earrings or $85 Fantasy Jewelry Box shopping spree giveaways?
Today I am joining the throngs of bloggers who are promoting Breast Cancer awareness this month. It truly warms my heart to see so many people posting about this as four years ago I lost my Auntie/godmother/Mama’s best friend to this dreaded disease. I saw first-hand how it can ravage a family and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy! All of us women owe it to ourselves and to our loved ones to became educated in Breast Cancer prevention. So, let’s hear it for self breast exams and living healthier lifestyles. That is how I honor my Auntie. Won’t you join me?
And if you’ve been bitten by the shopping bug and want your purchases to go toward a cause this month…consider these fabulous products!

I am a huge breast cancer awareness supporter and I was so excited to see all the ways to look cute and show my support. I’m torn between the Estee Lauder lip package and the Bobbi Brown brick. Have a great weekend!
Awesome post. My Aunt is a breast cancer survivor. I did race for the cure last year. I haven’t really partaken yet this year. So maybe it’s time!
Loving the Lily scarf- such a cute pattern!
Happy weekend!
This is an issue close to my heart. My dearest aunt is now a breast cancer survivor 🙂

Thanks for sharing these wonderful finds that are supporting the Cause for the Cure and awareness of Breast cancer. (My hubby’s mom was a breast cancer survivor in the 1970’s and lived a blessed life, but would have wanted more years to have her here with us. She passed away in ’97 after it came back.)
Blessings & Aloha!
After returning from our visit with family, it was straight to work, but I had yesterday and today off from work, so I hope to get caught up on some blog reading. I also wanted to let you know that one of your comments was drawn for one of the 20% certificate giveaways towards the art that I do. Please come by or let me know if you are interested.
Thank you for sharing this personal story and all of the lovely ideas to contribute putting and end to Breast cancer.
there are so many great pink buys!!
The breast cancer walks are this Sunday around here!
Great post, Kristin! There are a lot of great brands and fabulous products here. It’s nice to see companies pitching in and giving back. I like the leather charm bracelet and Bobbi Brown shimmer bricks are fabulous.
It is so important to support the cause! The Bobbi Brown shimmer brick is divine and I want to eat those cookies now! xo
Loving all the Pink products this month!! And what’s even better, is that they go towards an excellent cause!
My aunt is a survivor.
This is a very lovely post.

Love this post! I have been involved with the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer myself and raised almost $1,000. Thank you for bringing awareness of charitable purchases in this pink month 😀
Anything that adds to the awareness is wonderful to me. Thanks for sharing the love and I am so sorry about your Aunt.
I love all the great items for Breast Cancer awareness! I try and purchase a few every October. 🙂
these are such great suggestions 🙂
So many of these things are so lovely – but I tend to take issue with all the promotion around breast cancer awareness & prevention. It’s a prevalent disease, & a devastating one – there are, however, so many other diseases that are, frankly, just as prevalent, if not more so, & far more deadly. My father died of lung cancer, the number one cancer killer in the country – but there’s no pretty color for lung cancer, no fancy boots or scarves. I give my money to the American Cancer Society – they can decide which form of of cancer needs my donations most.
I’m so sorry for your loss. For me, breast cancer awareness is very personal, so that’s why I posted about it and feel passionate about supporting it. That’s what is so great about the blogosphere, you can raise awareness about what cause is close to your heart on your blog. Lung cancer is most certainly another tragic illness and I, for one, would be up for reading about it’s prevention. Aside from not smoking, I have no idea what other steps can be taken…if any. : )
This is very near and dear to my heart. My mom developed breast cancer a few years ago, and although she is okay now, it was quite a scare. Thank you for spreading breast exam awareness (thanks to her annual exam, it was discovered very early) and for promoting these lovely products.
I love those cookies… and my blogger pal, Jessica! (She’s the one who inspired me to start a blog!).
My mom is a breast cancer survivor. Love all the awareness stuff!

I’m really glad to see you guys helping spread awareness! I love how many brands now donate to the cause.
Love the charm bracelet and the cowboy boots.
Oh, this is such a great post. I’m loving that bloggers are coming together about this… Such a great cause.

I have that Bobbie Brown eyeshadow and absolutely love it. Actually I have two different palettes and it’s the only eyeshadow I wear! And love that scarf too 🙂
