Good morning, girls. Hope you slept well. 🙂 I wanted to touch base before running off to the Convention Center.
Each October (admittedly, more now than in past years), I get a few limited-edition breast cancer awareness (BCA) products for myself and to give as gifts to friends and family.
I’m amazed by how much Breast Cancer Awareness Month has changed over the past few years. Like almost everything else in our part of the world, the event’s been heavily commodified and commercialized, but I’m okay with that. If the sight of those little pink ribbons in every nook and cranny of our lives increases our awareness of the disease (even if we don’t always like the way some choose to use it), I think it benefits us all.
So here are four of my BCA favorites of the year. 🙂 *LOVE* the Foot Petals heart-shaped pad…
Sonia Kashuk Bag Lady Cosmetic Case
How ’bout the print and dual zippers on this pretty pink makeup bag? It’s one of several items from Sonia Kashuk’s Shop Pink Do More collection from breast cancer survivor and beauty genius Sonia Kashuk.
Cute, right? It holds a ton of makeup, and 15% of the purchase price goes to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Where to buy: $12, check your local Target store
Papyrus Blank BCA Notecards
I first spied these cute blank notecards at Papyrus a few months ago.
The colors and designs always bring a smile to my face…
Each box comes with four different illustrations (20 cards total), with 10% of the price going toward The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and this is something they’re doing not just throughout October but year round.

Entering is easy. There are two different ways, and you can do both of them for two chances to win.
As if that’s not cool enough already, there’s a powerful feature sort of buried in the preferences that changes it from a chat program into a home surveillance tool/pet monitor!
