october is breast cancer awareness month

As many of you may or may not be aware, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  We are so lucky to have amazing medical advances and support on hand for a lot of these women, but there is still a great need to support the cause and foundation.

There are so many great ways now available to get involved and show your support for your loved ones, as well as learn more about the disease. It's really important to take this time to read about ways to prevent it and how to check yourself at home. We are so lucky to have so much information right here at our fingertips so make sure to take advantage of every piece of it!

And what better way to donate a little money for a great cause and get a little something special for you? I have put together a couple of easy ways you can buy something and the company will donate a portion of the proceeds to the foundation - so happy shopping my friends!

There is also a great website called, Fab, Fit, Fun - if you haven't heard of it then you will be glad you have now! This great website was started by Guliana Rancic who also is a breast cancer survivor and they will be providing a lot of great articles about health and prevention and nutrition, you can check it out over here.

And remember friends to take care of yourself, not only for you but your family and friends or even your dog :)

national yoga month

September is National Yoga Month here in the US. I have been meaning to get back into yoga for quite some time but it always seems to slip away from me. While in college I took yoga as a class and it was a really good experience and gave me a lot of great basics and foundations for my practice. From there I took yoga classes at the gym and bought a couple of pilates dvd's as well to practice at home. Last year I fell in love with bikram yoga but it can be a little expensive between paying for a gym membership as well as paying for the yoga studio that offers bikram. This month however I jumped on the ball and I found a really great deal from Groupon for a local studio that just moved in near my house. I know a lot of studios all over the country are offering a free week pass at their studio for you to try different classes during the month of September. I would highly recommend searching for a studio near you and giving it a try. Bring your girlfriends or maybe even your guy and get ready for a wonderful experience.

I would love to hear if you are planning on trying yoga out or if you are already a yoga master, leave your comments below!
