Shop Pink…

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and since three very important ladies in my life are breast cancer survivors (my mom, my sister and my MIL), this is a cause very close to my heart.  As such, every year I like to do a roundup of items being offered by companies that support breast cancer awareness, and of course it doesn’t hurt that I love all things pink! Here are some of my favorite items for this year:

Vera Bradley Pleated Mask – 2 Pack – $25
For every purchase of a Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer Cotton Face Mask through December 31, 2020, Vera Bradley will donate 100% of the purchase price (maximum donation $500,000) to The Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer.vera bradley
