October is Breast Cancer Awareness month; there are lots of ways that you can help find a cure for breast cancer, and lots of cool products that you can buy to support breast cancer research.
Maternity active wear line Fit2BMom has created a special "Go Pink!" kit that includes a round-neck maternity tee in "primrose pink," a headband, and a cool bag, for $52.00. 15% of sales through October 31 go to the National Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
How about giving your own breasts a lift to keep other women's breast's healthy? During October, Shapeez will donate 15% of proceeds from the sale of all Unbelievabras sold online. The Shapeez bra combines a bra and camisole for all-in-one shaping and tummy control; Shapeez bras retail for $75 - $85.
Want something simpler? Ann Taylor loft has partnered with jewelry designer Lisa Salzer to create this stunning -- and totally wearable -- bracelet. $5 of the purchase price of each bracelet goes to the Breast Cancer Research Fund -- and since the retail price of the bracelet is only $24.50, this is an easy way to make a difference. And look great doing it.
How else can you help? Make a donation directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Want to do more than write a check? Sign up for your local Race for the Cure. If running -- or walking -- 5K isn't your gig, you can register to sleep in for the cure. Check your local race registration web site for more information.
And finally -- and most importantly -- make an appointment to have a mammogram, or talk to your doctor about when you should start. Because t-shirts and bracelets are great, but not having cancer is better.
Looking for more ways to shop for a cure? Big City Beauty has suggestions; so does Sweet Nothings. And Bargain Hunting Moms remind us that October is the month to pick up a pink mixer -- all for a good cause!
