Avon's Breast Cancer Crusade Products: Easy Way to Help & Look Great

Breast cancer is something that has probably affected at least someone you know or someone in your not so distant family tree.  My great grandmother had it and to date, I've been lucky to not have anyone else in my immediate family with it.  I also don't know of anyone personally who has fought the battle or lost it.  Since I come from a family full of girls and have my own, breast cancer is a serious issue and health concern.  It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to share some ways one of my favorite beauty company's is helping the cause:  Avon Breast Cancer Crusade!


Avon is working to fight this horrible disease by not only raising awareness but also by funds.  In 1992, Avon Breast Cancer Crusade raised and awarded more than $640 million worldwide to support the breast cancer cause thus allowing access to high-quality breast cancer screening and treatment to those women medically under-served.


Avon Breast Cancer Crusade products are very affordable with 100% of the net proceeds donated to the cause!  What a great way for Avon to give back!

Breast Cancer Crusade “Lips for Life” Tote ($5.00) - Kiss goodbye to Breast Cancer! This reusable tote rolls up and tucks easily into any handbag, small enough to take eveywhere. 

Avon Walk “Hope Laugh Walk” Tee ($15.00) - Say it loud and proud with this brand new bold pink shirt! 

Avon Walk “Real Men Wear Pink” Men’s Blue Tee ($15.00) - For the supportive man in your life who has unwaveringly supported the cause.

Five Breast Cancer Facts:

1. More than 240,000 women, and 1,000 men, will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S. in 2010.
2. More than 40,000 women and 400 men die each year from the disease.
3. There are more than 2 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.
4. One person is diagnosed approximately every 3 minutes, and one person dies of breast cancer approximately every 14 minutes.
5. People over the age of 50 account for 76% of breast cancer cases; while only 5% of breast cancer diagnoses are in people under the age of 40 and 18% are in their 40s.

Tiny Prints and a Fabulous Halloween

I think a memorable Halloween can set the stage for years to come and even influence your own children's traditions.   I remember many years ago when I was very young and my parents had a dual birthday party for my sisters along with the neighbors.  Because I was under five years of age, I don't recall too much other than two adorable girl cake dresses and my neighbor who dressed up as a witch.  I was so afraid of her because everything looked so real especially to the eyes of a young child.  I was scared to death of her but to this day, I love Halloween.  I love to dress up, decorate and have fun with it and I suspect those early memories are what provoked my love for Halloween.  Seeing the decorations, the fun and just having family and friends together made it so nice.

Since Halloween is special and fun to me, we like to have parties, give special treat bags at school and last year, we even manned a special PTO bake sale with the Halloween theme at my daughter's school.   I hunted for the perfect little invitations and cards and didn't even know about Tiny Prints until this year.
