I Wear The Ribbon

One thing that I enjoy in October besides the weather changing and Halloween parties is how everyone pulls together to bring awareness to Breast Cancer.  You can see how everything becomes pink with the signature ribbon and the proceeds go towards research.  Coffee mugs, paper/pens, even pro football players aren't immune to the pink by sporting pink gloves and cleats!  

Fingernail polish is no different.  Three of my favorite brands OPI, Essie, and China Glaze all came out with a small collection in honor of the women who have battled this disease, the ones who have lost the struggle and to the ones who are currently still fighting.  I love the fact that everyone, men and women, are truly finding creative ways to raise money to help find a cure for Breast Cancer.  You can also help by donating or volunteering at local events which are sponsored by Susan G. Komen for the cure by clicking here.

A group of wonderfully unique women and myself (each affected by breast cancer differently, by either knowing someone who had this disease or by actually battling the disease themselves) donated and raised money to create a Romance Basket to be raffled off.  We then donated what we earned to Susan G. Komen and a few of us even walked the 5K!  Please do your part in helping to end this disease that has affected millions...
