Hit the Shops for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Hi guys,
Breast Cancer Awareness month is an event that is close to my heart (or should that be close to my chest?). And the beauty of it is, it's so easy to support! Sometimes talking about cancer, or thinking about doing something for charity can make us feel awkward and, well, just a bit British about it. But the beauty of supporting Breast Cancer Awareness month is that all you have to do is shop. Hit the shops and treat yourself, buy something you would normally buy anyway, you can even buy your vegetables in Asda, and you will be supporting Breast Cancer Awareness, with a portion of the sales for each item going to the charity.

Here are some of my favourite items that are currently on sale for Breast Cancer awareness month this year: Pink T shirt bra, Primark, £2.50
Pink diamante heart bracelet, Marks and Spencer, POA
Pink rubber support bracelet, Primark, £1
Pink Fiflop super sneakers, Flitflop, £90
Perfume print cami and shorts set, Marks and Spencer, £16
Primrose and peony jar candle, Sainsburys, £5
Lavender knitted cushion, Sainsburys, £12

I'm not going to lie, I'm not the biggest fan of the colour pink (something of a hindrance to this campaign, I admit) but some of these pieces are really pretty. And if you don't like to wear pink, there are plenty of pink home wares you could choose from too: that's what I'll be doing. I'm actually going to buy a couple of those knitted cushions to put on the sofa in my office. And whilst I'm thinking about it, I'm going to make a donation to my favourite breast cancer charities at the same time!

What will you be doing for Breast Cancer Awareness Month? And have you seen any specific BCAM-branded products that have taken your fancy?

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Hi guys,
Reading stats like this makes you feel frightened and grateful it's not you (honest but true): Every year nearly 46,000 people receive the devastating news that they have breast cancer. This month alone, nearly 4,000 people will be told they have breast cancer and another 1,000 people will die from the disease.

We're exactly halfway through breast cancer awareness month today. We all know someone who's been affected by cancer, and breast cancer is the cancer than occurs most in women under 35: that's women like us! I'm not about to start preaching at you all to remember to check your breasts, but fondling yourself every now and again isn't too hard, is it? It could save your life.

So now it's on the inevitable "show you support" bit! Don't worry, i'm not about to attempt to run a marathon (i'd bloody kill myself!) or sit around in a bath tub full of jelly. There's no sponsorship required. Supporting breast cancer awareness is so easy this month: all you have to do is shop!
You can visit the breakthrough breast cancer website to see the big range of pink products they have available, which big chunks of the product cost going straight to the charity. Every single penny makes a real difference to the lifesaving work this charity does.

I'm wearing my pink ribbon on my jacket. You can pick them up from just about every highstreet store and supermarket. I am going to call them this months ultimate style statement! Are you wearing yours?

Love, Tor xx
