Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC) is excited to announce the launch of a new iPhone application, the “Pink B.A.T Phone” (Breast Cancer Awareness Telephone). With the help of professional skateboarder Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins, the iPhone app, the first of its kind, is being launched with a viral video campaign featuring Hawkins as well as onsite promotions at major action sports events in 2010.
Like October – National Breast Cancer Awareness Month – and Christmas, Valentine’s Day is one of the most popular times of the year to give breast cancer awareness jewelry to that special person you know affected by breast cancer. Whether you know a breast cancer survivor, or someone special like a mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, friend – currently battling breast cancer, giving these Valentines gifts are truly meaningful. Here are some of my Valentines Gift picks, and favorite places to buy breast cancer awareness gifts & pink ribbon jewelry.
A pink ribbon charm bracelet, or breast cancer necklace or pink ribbon pin will remind that person everyday of your support through this time. There’s something special available at almost every price point.
Apologies in advance to any of you trying to stick to New Year’s Resolution that may eliminate some of the “bad things” I’m about to mention…don’t say I didn’t warn you!
I’ve got to say, I love to read any reports and studies that support my addictions -ahem, I mean affection for three “food” groups that may help prevent breast cancer.
The most commonly known snacks that have been linked by a variety of health studies to help reduce the risk of breast cancer include:
If you haven’t yet heard of the Acai Berry (pronounced Ah-Sa-E) health craze, you surely are living under a rock. Sold as dietary supplement, a new kind of “super-fruit” and healthy antioxidant, the Acai Berry is now available in a multitude of forms – everything from pills, to juices, energy drinks & smoothie mixes, body detox cleanses, gummy candies to herbal teas – all made of natural extracts from the “Acai Palm”.
The Acai Berry fruit comes from Brazil, and has had a variety of traditional food uses, mostly for flavorings, but adding a significant protein to Brazilian diets.
A wide variety of claims have been made about the Acai berry, promising everything from weight loss, to enhanced energy and sexual performance. It’s even shown up in a variety of skin care treatments (yes, really – 100% Pure Organic Acai Berry Antioxidant Facial Cream), and the richness of “acai berry” is now a popular color in fashion. (seriously- Zappos has this
