Tip Of The Week: Breast Cancer Awareness

This weeks 'Tip Of The Week' will be slightly different. My tip is to inspire you to help someone in need. Ok, so we all know that October is a great month for many reasons - spring begins, Halloween and the most important one to my heart -  Breast Cancer Awareness month. As a woman I feel deeply touched by this because we have all been touched by this cause. We all know someone who has suffered from it, someone who lost a loved one to it and the fact is that 1 in 11 women will develop breast cancer before the age of 75. Sadly, we ourselves or someone we know will be exposed to this horrible killer in our lifetime. That is why I feel that this is such an important cause and there are so many ways that we can all help out and here are a few ideas to inspire you: 

1. Host a Breakfast With Benefits: I love this idea because we all need to eat therefore anyone can do it. It is as simple as hosting a Sunday morning catch up with your fave girls! This year there are several categories and your breakfast can be as big or as little as you would like. You can host a breakfast like a rock star, in bed, in style, on the run or your way!!! Check out the Pink Ribbon website to find out how to get involved and what amazing prizes you could win <3 

2. Go Shopping: Seriously I think we are all experts at this one. I love the National Breast Cancer Foundation's site because you can find all of their best products in one place. Their range includes; home& lifestyle products, accessories, sporting goods, gift packs, limited edition and breakfast goodies to help with our first suggestion! If that is not enough check out this page which has all the 2011 shopping supporters! 

3. Go Team Pink: If you belong to a sporting club, are passionate about fitness activities and can put a team together- this one if for you. It doesn't matter whether you are running a marathon or a fun run, swimming in an ocean race or shooting goals for your team, you can help. For more information, please visit the Team Pink website. 

4. Donate: We are all so busy but please spare a moment to think about this cause and remember that every dollar helps. Please visit the Breast Cancer Australia Org website to find out how you can donate. 

Last but not least, here are a few of my fave products that will help the cause:
