Nice and New: Breast Cancer Awareness Décor Products
Every October, retailers around the world sell products designed to raise money and awareness for breast cancer charities. Décor products certainly fall into this category, too. The problem is that while seeing a plethora of pink ribbon-branded items in retailers left and right may catch your eye, most products don't necessarily inspire you to decorate your homes with these items year-round.
Raise Breast Cancer Awareness in the Kitchen
October isn't just National Vegetarian Month; it also happens to be the 25th year that America's celebrated National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I'm all for finding a cure, and being the gourmand that I am, my favorite place to support the cause is in the kitchen.

Beauty Byte: Sonia Kashuk to Launch Products to Fight Breast Cancer
I didn't know that makeup artist Sonia Kashuk was a breast cancer survivor, but it turns out she had a double mastectomy after being diagnosed last year. Sadly, breast cancer runs in her family—both her grandmother and mother were diagnosed with the disease—but fortunately, Sonia is healthy now.
Now that she's beaten cancer, she's planning some new products for her Target cosmetics line, and money raised will benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

October Is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Today marks the first day of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It's a yearly international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, and cure.
