To say that I love the holidays would be an understatement. And in case making own wrapping paper and tags and hand-decorated cookies wasn't enough for me last year, I've gone all out and designed some holiday t-shirts and swag through my storefront on Zazzle. Ho. ho. ho.

October is a month when every girl, young lady and woman should get a second job. It's up to us to learn more about breast cancer and prevention. And most importantly, it's up to us to share that knowledge with the women we care about. Everybody knows the statistics, and nobody has found the cure yet, but everybody can make a huge difference by taking action to promote early detection. Carpool to mammograms, put an alarm on your mom's phone to remind her, and send your college roommate a message on facebook. It's never been easier to spread the word, so start now to save the one in fourteen of your friends that will get diagnosed in her lifetime. Here's a little something my friend Lacey and I worked on . . . it's about the idea that while cancer continues to tear us apart, awareness and prevention will bring us together.

Like most of us, I secretly love Pinkberry. But unlike most of us, I'm a registered Pinkberry
"groupie" and opted into their email newsletter. And because of that, I found out about the 100 stores, 100 ways contest. Which I entered in the hopes of winning something better than money. $1000 worth of Pinkberry, that's like 200 servings, which would be enough to feed the student body at the all-girls Catholic high-school I went to for one day. The contest asks groupies to write about their favorite Pinkberry flavor or experience in 100 words or less. Click to expand . . . . your mind.
