Wigs are an important part of the recovery for many women who lose their hair because of cancer treatments. Women have such an emotional connection to their hair, and I cannot imagine how emotionally traumatizing it must be for cancer survivors who have to deal with the reality of their hair loss.
To understand the importance of wigs in the life of many post-recovery cancer patients, I met with Michael Suba, owner of Continental Hair Salons.
Michael’s family has been in the wig business since 1964 when his parents, a couple of hairdressers, decided to ride the wave of the 60s. Now, the business is operated and managed by Michael.

Brands that support Breast Cancer Awareness Month with “pink products”: 12 products that will help with the battle
I desperately needed new tweezers so I just picked up a new pair of “Breast Cancer Ribbon” tweezer by Tweezerman. For every purchase of the commemorative tweezer, Tweezerman will donate $1 to Rethink Breast Cancer.
Tweezerman is not the only company supporting Breast Cancer by donating proceeds from the pink products.
If you are going to restock on any products during the month of October, this might be a great opportunity for you to buy “pink”! I’ve listed a number of companies who will be thinking pink in October. I found it was important to list them because a lot of people are not aware that their October purchase can make a huge difference and have a great impact on the lives of so many women battling with breast cancer.
Buying “pink products” in support of Breast Cancer:
Remember: October is Breast Cancer Awareness month!
You might have already started hearing the buzz around Breast Cancer Awareness Month and there might even have had a number of fundraising activities in your city.
That said, there could never be enough focus or attention on Breast Cancer Awareness Month because this disease robs too many women of their lives.
Each city in North America will have a host of fundraising events to help secure funds to save the lives of women.
There are so many ways to get involved by either lending a helping hand with your time or by donating money that will help further the cause.
When it comes to being a women and being faced with the reality of breast cancer the best prevention is to be proactive by getting the facts, getting an annual check-up, learn how to do self-examination of your breast (or ask your partner to help) and maintaining a healthy life style.
Breast Cancer Awareness month is a time to pay tribute to the many women who have passed away from the ravages of this disease, celebrate the women who have beat the cancer and who have successfully survived and to be reminded of how precious life is.

Yeast infections are no laughing matter
As a woman, you know how irritating yeast infection can be. It’s an unpleasant condition that most of us would happily do without. There are many creams that you can get from your local drugstore to cure yeast infections, but what are you supposed to do if you want to cure your yeast infection naturally?
I found the “Yeast Infection No More” course that teaches you how to permanently cure your yeast infection, eliminate candida and get back to a more balanced inner you. The course was created by Nutritionist, Health Consultant and Researcher, Linda Allen and it’s backed by over 25,000 hours of research!!!
Allen, has been researching and studying the subject of yeast infection for 7 years because she wanted to find a long lasting and holistic cure to a problem she’s been dealing with for years (in fact, she was suffering from very severe yeast infection).
