Pink Post: The Terranova Tuberose Collection

Terranova is known for its huge collection of bath and body products which have been favorites of women since 1970. Throughout the month of October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Terranova will be donating 5% of the proceeds from their Terranova Turberose Colleciton to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

The Tuberose Hydrating Body Wash is the first product that I have tried from Terranova, and I love it! It has a very rich, clean smell that lasts after the shower. A small amount goes a long way, and unlike a lot of body washes that I have tried, it did not leave my skin feeling dry and itchy. It can be purchased on the Terranova site today for $14.50 here.

Pink Post 3: flopZ

As you probably know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is one of my favorite months out of the year because I feel like real attention is given from all communities to Breast Cancer and seriously doing what needs to be done to help with prevention, recognition, and the overall eradication of a disease that has taken the lives of so many women globally.



When it comes to fashion, many of our favorite retailers discount or give proceeds of the sales of many pink items to Breast Cancer Research. Flip Flop line flopZ is giving 25% of the sales of their Siam Pink Flip Flops with Pink Straps to Breakthrough Breast Cancer. Make your purchase today here. 

Pink Post 2: Bright Pink

Bright Pink is a non-profit that focuses on educating women on Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Through helping women at a young age to recognize risks and symptoms, they are helping women save their lives and the lives of their friends and family. They recently held their Bright Pink University event which graduated 20 more ambassadors to continue to further their mission. Carli Feinstein, the organization's Chief of Staff, helping me to understand more about this amazing information.

Q: How did the organization get started?

CF: Bright Pink was founded in 2007 by Lindsay Avner who lost both her great-grandmother and grandmother to breast cancer and watched her mother fight breast and ovarian cancer at a young age.

 

Q:How many ambassadors do you currently have?

CF: We currently have 60 Education ambassadors and 21 Support Ambassadors. Our Education Ambassadors are responsible for reaching 150 women each quarter through Brighten Up™ Educational Workshops and our Support Ambassadors are responsible for facilitating monthly Experiential Outreach Groups and supporting growth of their local high-risk networks.

Q: Why do you look to get women involved at such a young age if their risk of being diagnosed with breast and ovarian cancers is low?

CF:One in eight women faces a lifetime risk of breast cancer and it is the leading cause of cancer death in women ages 15 to 54. Ovarian cancer, while far less common than breast cancer, still affects many women: one in 67 faces a lifetime risk. Ovarian cancer is known as “the silent killer” because its symptoms can be difficult to detect. As a result, 2/3s of women diagnosed will die as a result, making ovarian cancer the deadliest gynecologic diseases.

Q: What is your suggestion to young women that are afraid of these topics?

CF: At Bright Pink, we believe that knowledge is power. We encourage young women to understand the true potential and gift that understanding their risk for these diseases can provide them. We ask them to collect their family history from both their mom and dad’s side of the family, and then complete Bright Pink’s Assess Your Risk tool at AssessYourRisk.org for a personalized risk assessment. You can print the results and take them to your next doctor’s appointment to help determine what steps you should take in your journey to take control of your breast and ovarian health. Knowing your risk for breast and ovarian cancer does not make you a victim, it empowers you to be a strong advocate for your health.
