As we all know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. In order to help raise research funds, a slew of companies create one-of-a-kind breast cancer awareness products which, if bought, a portion of the proceeds will go to a variety of breast cancer organizations. How much easier (and fun) can it be to help stop an awful disease? Below you will find a few choices that have come across our desks. . .
If the name weeDECOR rings a bell, it’s because Breezy Mama featured one of their adorable wall graphics in a past children’s decorating piece. During the month of October, weeDECOR will be donating 10% of all sales to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The easy part will be the shopping–the hard part will be choosing which one to buy since everything on the site is just too cute! To start looking for your wall graphics, click here.
Have a sheer shirt stuck in your closet because you don’t know what to put under it? Second Base’s demi camisoles are a perfect layering piece for sheer shirts or tops with too much of a “vee” for school drop-off. Made to go over your bra, the demi camisole is less bulky than a tank, and now’s the perfect time to buy. Second Base has chosen to donate 20% of sales proceeds from all demi camisoles in Ballet Pink (retail value $30.00 – $32.00) sold from their online store to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

I loved emerginC’s chemical-free face wash, so I know that their Red Carpet Primer must be just as fantastic. To be used after you apply your moisturizer, this primer, “Smoothes and refines complexion, conceals large pores, instantly reduces appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, brightens, fights free radicals, hydrates and plumps, allows for long-lasting, flawless make-up application.” Umm, sign me up! emerginC’s Red Carpet Primer is donating 20% of proceeds to the Susan G Koman for the Cure foundation in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month.
