The first time I learn about breast cancer, I was ten years old. I walked in my aunt while she was getting dressed. My aunt had a preventive mastectomy. I was a kid and had no idea what it was then. When I got older, and she told me her story, I was left feeling scared and very confused. I remember reading up on breast cancer and trying to feel my barely there chest for “lumps.” Today’s subject is near and dear to me. Breast Cancer Awareness is something that affects so many. Keep reading to learn how you can help bring awareness.
October is “Go Pink! For Breast Cancer Awareness Month!”
Here’s the sad reality:
What you can do?
1. Be Aware
If breast cancer runs in your family, talk to your doctor about early screening.
2. Get screened
The Best Prevention is early detection. I urge every woman to routinely do a breast self-exam.
3. Donate
There are lots of ways you can donate/raise funds to the Breast Cancer research program. Lots of organizations and companies are taking part in the mission to end Breast Cancer.
You can raise funds by joining a walkathon. Host a Pink Party and much more.
I’m so happy that Scentsy came out with the Ribbons of Hope warmer! The charitable cause products are only available for a short period.
Check out this short video featured the “Ribbons of Hope” warmer.
I pray that one day, Breast cancer will become something of the past and women will no longer have to go through this battle.

I got a mammogram over the summer and I was so scared. It was so easy and not painful at all.
I had a screening mammogram scare last year so I know how important it is to get one done yearly, especially if you have a family history. This is an important message for all women.
It’s great that you’re raising awareness this month. We have to prevent and cure this terrible disease.
I only wear pink for breast cancer awareness. Pink isn’t my favorite color but for this cause i will wear it.
We have put more money towards disease then ever before in history, yet, still no cure. Baffling right? This is a very pretty candle, I love the color pink.
I do like products that give back in some way. I love Scentsy and need to upgrade my scents for the season!
It’s so important to be checked! My family is full of cancer on both sides so I’m very nervous and get checked often.
I love that scentsy warmer, so prettyn such a great cause!
It’s quite scary how common breast cancer is, most definitely important to be checked, think it is a shame they don’t do screen at a lot younger age over here. x
This is great info and I love it when companies go pink for a wonderful cause 🙂
I pray that one day a cure will be found. I’m a supporter of Susan G. Komen and donate every year because you just never know if it might one day be you or a family member.
I received my first mammo this year. It’s so important. It’s goo these products help spread awareness about breast cancer.
Thanks for this reminders. Breast cancer is a disease that affects not just the person who has it but those around them.
