The Pink Mitten Campaign
shop.pinkmitten.com
Buy a pair of these cuties, and you get to pick your campaign — The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation or Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Spend $10, and $1 goes to your choice.
It’s something, that $1, but the best part of this deal (for me, anyway) is that these mittens are chunky knit, made with thick high bulk acrylic yarn, fully lined with fleece for comfort, warmth, and moisture wicking.
You know what that means?
Toasty warm!
And since my whole body is so very cold these days, these are looking mighty tempting!
Santa, are you listening?
Pink Ribbon Christmas Cookie
Mmmmm.
I Mmmmmade it!
Wait, I didn’t make the cookie — that credit goes to my neighbors who host a festive cookie decorating extravaganza every year. I did decorate it, though.
OK, so I know I’m no whiz with frosting, but it was fun. And I think that’s what counts, right?
Giveaway Winners: Lucky Girls!
Congrats, Angela's mom!
Angela wanted to win some Dermagenics Collagen Recovery cream for her mom, who is trekking through cancer treatment for a second time.
Good news.
Angela won!
Her prize arrived just yesterday, and here’s hoping this Feel-Good Find works wonders for her momma!
Diane also won some Dermagenics!
“I am going through chemo right now and it makes my skin so dry,” she shared. “Hopefully the cream will help when I go through radiation as well.”
Fingers crossed for you, Diane!
Yay, Daisey!
Daisey is a three-year survivor who gets the breast cancer inspiration stones. She has big plans for treasuring them forever! (I have a set, and they are so cool!)
Happy for you, Deb!
Also wishing Deb a bunch of fun with her new Manduka water bottle and yoga towel. “Love the colors,” she says. And the water bottle? Her new companion for hikes and pilates sessions!
Congrats, you lucky girls!
Forgetting December 3
Cancer: 6 years gone.
A friend just posted on Facebook that 6 years ago, she had surgery to remove her breast cancer tumor. That’s when it dawned on me that December 3 is the day mine was removed, too.
Also 6 years ago.
Today’s gift: forgetting.
Because, for me, that means cancer is not, in fact, all consuming.
Keep Calm, Carry On
This is what I’m going to start saying to myself. It’s appropriate for just about every scenario in my life.
