Happy October, y’all! Today is the first official day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign that aims to increase awareness of the disease and help those affected through early detection, education, and support services. In case you didn’t know, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women. In fact, one in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. To put that number in perspective, one woman (on average) is diagnosed with breast cancer every two minutes. That’s scary, y’all. So how can we help? As consumers, we can show support for the NBCF and do our part to raise awareness. 

Every October, I round up a new batch of Breast Cancer Awareness products, ie items whose sales directly benefit breast cancer awareness and research, and I found some really awesome products this year. Consider purchasing something for a breast cancer survivor, an early Christmas gift, a push present– the sky’s the limit. Click on each image to learn more.
