Breast Cancer Research Foundation + Kids: HipFits Gives Kids A Chance to Give Back #BreastCancerAwareness

HipFits are the absolute must-have to clip on to backpacks, gym bags and more! It’s the hip clip-on accessory that gives girls the chance to get in on the hot trend of personalizing accessories that’s making headlines on the pages of People StyleWatch, Vogue and more. Great ornament for the tree, too!

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month HipFits is working with the  Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s “Shop Pink" initiative.  To honor the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) and to help teach children about the importance of giving back, HipFits has designed a special BCRF pink dress collection which includes the Taffy, Cotton Candy and Sweetheart Dress. HipFits is donating $3 to the BCRF for every one of these styles purchased throughout the year. And throughout the month of October, the company is also donating $1 from the sale of any one of the HipFits in the entire 21 piece collection.

HipFits are this year’s must-have for kids fashion fun! They’re the new clip-on accessory that gives girls the chance to get in on the hottest trend in accessorizing - charms and trinkets to personalize your purse. Not only will your daughter be stylish, but also help support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  It is a great way to teach your daughters the importance of breast exams and support a wonderful cause!

These soft, fabric-covered, gel pad-filled, four-inch dress-shaped charms are tethered to colorful heart-shaped clips for easy attachment to backpacks, purses, strollers and more. Featuring more than 20 popular looks to reflect each individual’s own fashion identity, each tastefully designed dress comes with a short poem that gives a personality to each HipFit that will instantly connect to any young girl’s heart.  

Girls can collect their favorite fashions and show them off to match their moods.  They easily attach to their backpack, purses, etc.  They are reasonably priced, so your daughter won't break the  bank and collect as many as her allowance allows.  She can switch them out to match her favorite outfit or theme.  These are so cute and loved by my tween!

Pick some up today for the Christmas stockings and help give back to  the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

S Factor Launches #BreastCancer Awareness Month #RedefiningSexy @TheSheilaKelley

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and many companies are doing what they can to help in awareness, raising money, etc.   I will try and feature different companies efforts all month long!

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month S Factor founder (http://www.sfactor.com/), author and Hollywood actress Sheila Kelley is launching a new campaign entitled, Redefining Sexy: Believe in Your Beauty, which aims to redefine the terms "sexy" and "beauty" through a provocative video featuring true stories of real women.  The video campaign, “Cancer Warrior,” features Diana Schlobohm, a breast cancer warrior who needs a spotlight.  Diana lost both breasts to cancer, but one thing she did not lose is the knowledge that she is a sexy and beautiful woman.  The raw and gritty video (http://www.sheilakelley.com/redefiningsexy2.asp), shot 6 days post-op challenges the viewer to answer the question, "Are cancer survivors sexy?" The video has just gone viral, with celebrities like Rita Wilson, Lana Parrilla, and Apolo Ohno asking their Twitter and Facebook followers to “Believe in your Beauty’ and “Embrace your Beautiful, Powerful Self!”

Sheila Kelley stirred up pre-conceived notions about "stripping" when she debuted her striptease inspired workout, S Factor, on the Oprah show in 2003.  There are now seven S Factor fitness studios across the nation and Kelley is widely regarded as the worldwide originator of pole dance fitness.  Her book The S Factor: Strip Workouts for Every Woman, not only thought outside the box, it smashed it.  The Redefining Sexy: Believe in Your Beauty campaign will do the same.

Warriors in Pink scarves giveaway (5 winners)

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I will be giving away (5) Warriors in Pink scarves to (5) lucky OneMommaSavingMoney readers (US only).

Bang the drum. Paint your face. Run. Walk. Fight for the cure.

Ford and your Ford dealer are recruiting Warriors to help ramp up the fight against breast cancer. Ford Warriors in Pink can be found at the Komen Race for the Cure events as always, only now they will arrive as a united front, as one in Warrior gear.

Learn about the special meaning behind the Warriors in Pink symbols or read the published articles about these strong individuals all across America here.

The most effective way to detect breast cancer is by mammogram. But as women, we can do our own exams to help with early detection.  My doctor encourages monthly breast exams. A monthly breast self-exam is an easy  way that you can check your breasts for changes.  If you notice any lumps, feels different, etc.  it is always best to consult with your doctor.  When breast cancer is detected in its early stages, your chances for surviving the disease are greatly improved.

Please note that Ford/Warriors in Pink/Komen Race for the Cure are no way affiliated with this post or giveaway. Image credits go to Ford/Warriors In Pink.  This is just a giveaway that OneMommaSavingMoney is sponsoring in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness!!!

Activia Selects French style yogurt review

As busy Moms our days often seem to fly by, so finding an easy, nutritious snack solution can present a challenge. This sometimes means grabbing a bite that's both convenient and close by.  So why not keep a nice convenient wholesome alternatives like Activia Selects handy in the fridge!  Activia Selects  help provide an option that offers some nutrients you need in a yogurt that tastes great.  Activia, with Bifidus Regularis, helps naturally regulate your digestive system when consumed daily for two weeks as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. 

Now Dannon Activia Selects lets you visit Europe from your kitchen by bringing the true taste of French and Greek yogurt to you in a cup.  You can satisfy your sweet cravings and help regulate your digestive system by consuming Activia daily for two weeks as part of a healthy lifestyle. These silky French and creamy Greek varieties prove nutritious and tasty options for those who have a texture preference.  

I chose the smooth and silky French style yogurt with large and fresh pieces of fruit on the bottom.   I am a berry loving girl, so I tried the  mixed berry and loved it!!!  I will be buying more of these for my fridge at work, I could eat them all day!  The fruit tasted like fresh chopped up bits and it had a nice creamy flavor!

I also look forward to trying their Greek yogurt!!!  It  is thick and creamy, with 12 g of protein per serving.  It's available in some delicious looking flavors - Vanilla, Blueberry, Strawberry, and Pomegranate Berry.


Make sure you visit the http://activia.us.com site.  Dannon is also taking part in cups of hope!  Every cup counts towards the fight of breast cancer!

“I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Dannon Activia Selects Yogurt Series and received a coupon to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive comments.”
