October is breast cancer awareness month!  This is a disease that affects many women in all age groups and it is something that we all need to be aware of.  As women we need to stick by one another and raise awareness of this disease, it can be supporting someone who has it, donating money to charities, or even just going with a friend to a doctor! We can all do a little something to make a difference.

You can also enter this month to win some totally cool prizes from one of my favorite beauty blogs, makeupandbeautyblog.com

All you have to do is send in a picture of yourself holding up a sign reading “October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!”  You can win up to $1,000 in cosmetics and beauty products!
