Chrissi B! Let's go PINK ....

It finally feels like fall in our little town today. The temps have dropped and a hint of rain is possible. Finally, we have Autumn for a moment. Love it!

The month of October brings many opportunities to the calendar. Football games. Homecomings, The World Series and most importantly today ....National Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Many companies that you and I already support and purchase offer special promotions and incentives in support of breast cancer charities. Here are just a few that I have found:

• Carry on the Cause from Lean Cuisine. A simple purchase of this year's cute pink lunch tote for only $9.95, and you too can help support the Susan B. Komen Center for Breast Cancer Research. This is a win, win for all of us and we get this fabby pink tote!


• Go Pink! with Dove chocolates and m&ms and you too can get your chocolate fix and support a worth cause. Simply, purchase packages marked with a pink ribbon and a percentage of the proceeds will benefit research. Does it get any better?


• Love shoes! Love a sale? FFANY shoes on sale brought to you by QVC is a wonderful way to purchase great shoes at huge discounts and the entire purchase price is donated to breast cancer research. How do they do this? Wonderful shoe manufacturers that you and I already love to wear, offer a select amount of items free to QVC to sell and promote for you and I to purchase online or on air. You gotta love it! The sale airs on October 15th, check their site for details.


• QVC also offers a shoe of the day, if you would like to purchase a shoe at a discounted price. Check their website for the shoe of the day.


• Target, our favorite discount store offer an entire section of products that give a portion of their sales to fund research and help. Pink, pink everywhere ....check it out!

Click a few links, pick up a few products at the market, volunteer or hit the Internet. Whatever you choose to do, jump into a cause that helps keep you and yours safer. Book a mammogram and celebrate how lucky we all are .........take care.

when you purchase this awesome kitchenaid mixer, $50 will go towards Komen for the Cure.
