It's already October, what does this mean? It means that Halloween is just around the corner, families will be gathering for Thanksgiving next month, and crazy steals and deals will be available on Black Friday & Cyber Monday, Christmas is roughly two and a half months away, but most importantly October is also Breast Cancer Awareness month!
This may not be a topic of choice for many people, but as a woman, I truly believe that it's important for all of us to spread the word and raise awareness about the importance of early detection of breast cancer. We all have women in our lives that are important to us, whether it's our mother, our sister(s), our friends, etc., and even ourselves. Simply by encouraging anyone over 40 to take the initiative to consult with the doctor about when they should start getting mammogram, or by encouraging adult women of all ages including ourselves to perform breast self-exams at least once a month, we can be making a difference. It's good to be aware of our own body and the changes that may occur, if you are ever faced with finding a lump or any changes in your breasts, don't be afraid! Call your doctor right away and take the initiative find out what it is. I know it's easier said than done, but it's through knowledge and courage that we can protect ourselves and those we love.
You can make a difference not only by spreading the word about breast cancer awareness and early detection, but also by contributing to breast cancer research through donations to breast cancer awareness organizations. You can also donate by simply buying products that either give 100% proceeds or even 10% proceeds back to breast cancer awareness. I've listed some of the products that I've heard about that will support breast cancer awareness. You can buy these product(s) as a way to show your support, or even as a guiltless shopping spree for a good cause. I will continue to update this list throughout the month of October if I come across some more products. Do come back and check them out! Maybe you can even start on your holidays shopping early this year :)
Take care of yourself and all those around you. Stay healthy! <3
