Did you know that nearly 1 out of 3 cancer diagnoses among women in the U.S. are breast cancer? Thanks to early detection and treatment, breast cancer mortality rates are decreasing substantially. Besides getting regular mammograms and encouraging friends and family to do the same, you can help raise money for breast cancer research by "thinking pink" when you shop. During the month of October, many companies donate a percentage of their profits to help battle the cancer war, and you can help simply by purchasing their "pink" products. Spread hope by purchasing M&Ms Promise Blend (10% of all proceeds benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation). The Knot Wedding Shop helps you give back on your Big Day with charity favor cards, and Drugstore.com offers jewelry, Tweezerman, a flat iron and even Yogitoes-- all in pink. And here's a colorful twist, you can even "go green" while thinking pink when you buy a super soft pink fleece blanket from Giggle.com that's made from recycled soda pop bottles! Now that's really something to feel good about!
