Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Did you know?

-99% of patients will survive at least 5 years when breast cancer is detected early, in the localized stage (American Cancer Society).

-85% of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of breast cancer (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences).

Thanks to BeautyCounter for the great tips. I am a customer and believe in what they do to help educate consumers and create products that are clean for consumer use. There are over 80K chemicals on the market today and many do not have the safety data. Also, the FDA does not have the authority to remove harmful ingredients from the products we use on our bodies and our families every day (BeautyCounter).

I have three friends, who were diagnosed with breast cancer in their thirties or early forties. They fought breast cancer and are warriors. This was several years ago and I remember researching care package items to help them through their treatment. The common theme I recognized was skin dehydration from treatments such as lips and skin. In addition, reading about breast cancer I saw that research showed that what we eat and the type of products (ex. beauty, BPA plastics) we use can impact our health.
