THINK PINK! 7 SPIRITED BRANDS
FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS
Beauty isn’t only skin deep! It lives in your spirit to help others be healthy and look and feel our best 24/7. So as we welcome in Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I want to call out 7 beauty brands donating sales of lipgloss, shampoo and hand cream to help find a cure for Breast Cancer. It’s a win/win to shop pink throughout the month of October and pay it forward as often as you beauty budget allows. xoxo
