Hi there! As all of the pink items start appearing in the stores, we're reminded that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Last year we introduced a special lip balm called Pink Lady, and this year we've added Pink Lady lotion and hand cream. A portion of each sale of these products is donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure to support education, research, and treatment. October also means Autumn and all the flavors it brings! We're making our favorite seasonal balms like maple, pumpkin pie, and apple spice, and we've also added some new flavors just for Halloween, including candy corn, black licorice, and jack-o-lantern. Our favorite is the new "ghouls' night" flavor, Spooky Juice!
If you're wondering how you can "think pink"
and celebrate this spooky holiday all at
once, look no further than our new party
favor ideas! As always, thank you so much for
your
interest in our products! Enjoy the
autumn!
Did you know that another woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes? It's the rare person who isn't touched in some way by this disease. Last year we created a special lip balm to help support the education, research, and treatment that are so important to preventing and curing breast cancer. The response to our Pink Lady balm was so positive that this year we've added a hand cream and lotion, too.
For each Pink Lady product we sell, we donate
$1 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The lip
balms, favors, and moisturizers are the same
price as our other flavors and fragrances,
but they're
gifts that you give twice! The labels and
tags let your recipient know that their gift
also benefits a good cause. Visit our Pink
Lady page to learn more about these products
and find links to other foundations such as Susan
G. Komen for the Cure.
We always enjoy visiting the orchard in autumn, when the apples are ripening, the leaves are turning, and the sky is stunningly blue. Fall would hardly feel complete without all of the flavors of the season--not just apples, but pumpkins, grapes, cranberries, and maple syrup, too. All of our fall flavors are back; order them on their own, or let us decorate them for your fall event. We love going back to the basics, but we have some new flavors to share, too. Candy Corn is a super sweet balm here just in time for Halloween. Our Flavor of the Month this October is Jack-o-Lantern, a spiced pumpkin balm with a bright orange color. We've also made a Black Licorice lip balm, with that familiar anise flavor and scary black color! These balms also come undecorated or with special Halloween tags and coordinating bows. But our favorite new Halloween balm by far is a new "Ghouls' Night" flavor. Inspired by the cocktail, Spooky Juice is a blend of orange and grenadine with a frightful dark green color! Scare up some Halloween fun by sharing these new flavors with your party guests and friends!
So you may be wondering how you can choose a Pink Lady favor for a Halloween event? How can you raise awareness with creepy ghosts and ominous owls? It's simple when the ghosts remind you to "Save our BOObs" and the owls share "Hope for Hooters!" You've probably seen those t-shirts with the baseballs and the caption, "Don't let breast cancer steal second base." Some people find these shirts inappropriate, but they always get people's attention, and that's what awareness is all about! Our favor tags may be silly or whimsical, but they support a serious cause. Each favor purchased provides a $1 donation to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Talk with us about creating your party favors to support breast cancer research and education. And check out some of our links below for additional breast cancer foundations and resources.
Still working on the web site improvements...these things always take longer than planned! We'll be sending out a holiday newsletter next month and will hopefully have a better update then! We're also using the blog to keep updated...about once a week, when I'm organized! Check there if you're curious or want to see what we've been up to.
