It’s Breast Cancer Awareness this month as I’m sure you’re well aware of.  You may be sick of hearing about it. Sick of seeing it everywhere you turn.  But the truth is – is that without sending out the message that this deadly cancer can take someone you’re very close to, in a matter of a few short weeks.  That said….please take the time to encourage others to do monthly breast exams – this INCLUDES men.  Although it is not found to be as prominent in men they can and do get breast cancer.

There are certain things in our lives that take a course of a “staple.” Not the one that binds paper materials together, rather fusing social lives and people’s expression of it.

Margo Manhattan has a reputation of a Socially Aware Designer who puts her passion for philanthropy into her art of bringing social consciousness up a notch with every decade.

We tend to get used to things and forget what the origin is. Thus the fate of “cleenex,” as we call it any tissue paper we use. The same honorable fate lies with the Pink Ribbon of Breast Cancer Awareness.

Margo Manhattan was the one to design the first Pink Ribbon for several cancer fund-raising efforts, including  Estee Lauder’s Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Today, Margo’s visionary designs continue to live on and take the shape of her personal expression of life in jewelry.

A portion of all sales made this month would go towards Breast Cancer Research.

Question of  the day – Where Do You Get Your News?

At one time, not so long ago, I had a subscription to the local newspaper that I read faithfully every day. In fact, I couldn’t go to bed unless I had read that day’s edition.  I also supplemented reading the newspaper by watching the evening news.  Then I discovered the World Wide Web and learned that I could get all the news I wanted right online.

That stopped me from purchasing the local newspaper – in turn saving me money each month.  Between the news on TV and the websites available such as CNN  and ABC News – I just no longer needed to be spending that money on the paper.

Interestingly enough – take a look at this infographic, as I am not alone.

The below content is sponsored by Sanofi Pasteur’s Headfirst! Expert Advice on Lice campaign on behalf  of Mom Central Consulting .  I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

Unfortunately, head lice are common in elementary schools – about one out of every 100 elementary school children becomes infested.

Most parents would agree, the letter home informing of a head lice outbreak is not a welcome sight.  The question of “What do I do?” is common. Knowing the facts beforehand can help you resolve the  situation quickly.

The Headfirst! Expert Advice on Lice website aims to help you do just that. Created by head lice experts  (and moms) for other moms, families and communities to learn about head lice—what they are, what  they look like and how to treat them.

The site offers a variety of tools including:

  • The How to Lose the Lice Guide, with a handy checklist to save time and reduce stress when battling head lice
  • The Headfirst! Lice Experience video allows you to choose your experience, whether it be you’re not sure you have lice, or you just want to get rid of them
