Jewellery with a message

It is Breast Cancer Awareness month and there are a number of products promoting the Breast Cancer Awareness pink ribbon.  These include Elizabeth Hurley’s lip design collection, with £5 from each £20 sale going to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  Liz is the breast cancer awareness ambassador.  The Pink Ribbon Shop is another great resource for products which promote awareness and make huge donations to the cause.  Visit http://www.pinkribbonshop.com/

At Lara’s Boutique a £5 donation from every sale of the pink ribbon charm will go directly to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. 

This month should be a time when we can remind ourselves of the importance of being in tune with our bodies and having regular check ups.  Justine Knight wrote an article in Psychologies magazine (October 2009) offering some great advice such as visiting www.breakthrough.org.uk, a website which offers advice on breast health, self-examination and NHS breast screening.  The message being promoted is that if detected early through self-examination and annual mammograms, breast cancer is 98% curable.
