Amongst all the hype surrounding Halloween and Labour Day Weekend, October also signals an extremely important cause--Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Even if someone in your family hasn't been affected by this awful disease, we're sure that you know of someone who has, and the devastation that it can create.

October is the perfect month to support this cause and contribute whatever you can to breast cancer research, whether that be money, time or even just awareness. We guarantee there's something everyone can do, even if you're strapped for cash or aren't in a position to volunteer.

One amazing, simple way to give back during Breast Cancer Awareness Month is to bring out your pink! We're talkin' pink makeup, clothes and more. This is an initiative that helps to create awareness around the topic, and many companies have joined in by jumping on board.
