What J' is Jonesin' For: The Pink Edition

Good Morning!

By now I'm sure you've seen pink all over the place and know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This edition of "Jonesin'" is dedicated to all things pink in which proceeds go to support Breast Cancer research. It's so much more about the color pink, it's about finding a cure for a disease that affects more than 190,000 women a year- the awareness doesn't stop on October 31st. Even though the incidence of breast cancer is lower in African-American women, the death rate is one of the highest across the board.Regardless of ethnicity, breast cancer affects us all and it's vital that we do what we can to help find a cure and take the steps needed to check ourselves.


So whether it's a scarf, t-shirt, item of jewelry or even a donation to a pertinent charity - make a difference.

Torrid has a collection of items in which the proceeds are donated to breast cancer research & they are also giving 10% off your entire purchase if you use the code "powerofpink"

Save the Ta-tas Splatter Tee $28,, L.A. Ink White Rose Pink Ribbon V-Neck Tee $28, both at Torrid

Balmshell "1 in 8" LipGloss $22, Sephora (my favorite shade is "Who's Your Caddy?")

Reader Submitted: Like a pink snuggie.... but considering that it's bound to get cold soon I can get with this.Pink n.a.p Comfy Ultra-Plush Blanket with Sleeves $39.95, Brookstone

I recently purchased a pair of sterling silver cancer ribbon earrings for a friend of mine who has just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer- they were from Elisa Ilana ($35)- she loved them!

Think Before You Pink!

A word of advice, make sure that if you buy "pin"k that the money is actually going towards research- (sorry it's the little social activist in me) check out Breast Cancer Action for more information.
