Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Shop for the Cure

by Skinnypurse

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Many of us have been touched by this disease; whether personally or someone you know has been affected. This month we take the time to remember those who survived breast cancer and those who have lost the fight. We also remember to take care of ourselves by doing breast exams. Through awareness and education, we can all do our part to help win the fight against this horrible disease.

Tons of designers and merchants are highlighting products that help us “do good” while we shop. Proceeds from the sales of these products go to cancer research and charities. If you are shopping from anything from shoes to beauty products, you can play a part winning the fight.

Below is just a small sampling of the many products you can shop for which proceeds go to help fight against this disease:
