pinktober = shopping for breast cancer research
October is breast care awareness month…as you all probably already know by the bright shades of pink that are everywhere. It’s hard to miss and that’s a good thing. So many of the leading retailers make it so easy for you to donate to breast cancer research by creating special items and products in limited edition and in pink. It’s almost impossible not to donate to this great cause.
Here’s my Top Ten Faves. What are you waiting for, start shopping and donate to this amazing cause!
