Developed with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), these pink colored products feature exclusive designs that are both fashionable and functional, with a percentage of all sales going directly toward funding for breast cancer research initiatives. To date Trudeau has donated over half a million dollars to BCRF alone.

Made of SAN, the lid comes with a protected flexible straw for easy drink accessibility during activity. It's BPA Free, with a retail price of $17.99. I received this bottle for review. I'm impressed with its generous size, which allows it to hold enough water to keep me hydrated during a long road trip or to quench my thirst after an intensive workout session. It's incredibly lightweight though. I also love its sleek design!

The 17 oz Rejuvenate Hydration Bottle is the perfect bottle to infuse water and favorite drinks with citrus, cucumbers, berries and more. It is constructed of thick and resistant borosilicate glass that leaves no aftertaste. The flip-top lid is leak-resistant and comes with a silicone pulp filter underneath that minimizes pulp intake.

The interior consists of polypropylene and double wall insulation, which allows for heat retention up to 2 hours. It retails for only $14.99.

With the Tea-Rific II Tea Tumbler, you’ll be able to brew loose tea or tea bags in minutes! Even better, you can do this on the go with leak resistant lid! Plus, this double wall insulated tumbler will keep your tea hot for up to 2 hours. It has a convenient carry and go design and will hold up to 14 ounces of your favorite beverage.

Its leak resistant construction is accented with an easy open and close “drink anywhere around the rim” 360° lid. Stainless steel double walled insulation keeps beverages hotter or colder longer (3 hours+). The elegant satin stainless steel body is accented with a pink TPE sleeve and ergonomic 2-tone handle with non-slip rubber base to firmly hold the mug in place. Fits most car cup holders, and reasonably priced at $24.99.

The perfect companion for today’s driver, the Drive Time Travel Mug stays true to its namesake with a fast and sleek look. The double wall insulation keeps drinks warm up to 3 hours, while a guaranteed leak proof lid allows you to drink anywhere on the 360° rim. It comes in a stainless steel body and is accented with a signature BCRF pink lid. The Drive Time Travel Mug comes with a soft rubber bottom that provides a good grip to cup holders and surfaces to prevent movement. ARV $21.99.

Shop Beautiful Margo Manhattan Jewelry and Support Breast Cancer Research!

***This is a guest post written by the author of Celebrate Woman Today***

There are certain things in our lives that take a course of a "staple." Not the one that binds paper materials together, rather fusing social lives and people's expression of it.

Margo Manhattan has a reputation of a Socially Aware Designer who puts her passion for philanthropy into her art of bringing social consciousness up a notch with every decade.

We tend to get used to things and forget what the origin is. Thus the fate of "cleenex," as we call it any tissue paper we use. The same honorable fate lies with the Pink Ribbon of Breast Cancer Awareness.

Margo Manhattan was the one to design the first Pink Ribbon for several cancer fund-raising efforts, including  Estee Lauder's Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Today, Margo's visionary designs continue to live on and take the shape of her personal expression of life in jewelry.

A portion of all sales made this month would go towards Breast Cancer Research.

Margo Manhattan Pink Ribbon

All proceeds from the sales of the Pink Ribbon to benefit Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Margo Manhattan Meridian Bracelet

All proceeds from the sales of the Meridian Bracelet to benefit The Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation.

We would like you to join in this Powerful and Beautiful effort to celebrate life by making a Small Change for a more vibrant and healthier living this month and doing your regular monthly Breast Self-Exams.

New Look Giveaway #11: KN Pink Lady PJs (3 Winners)

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~

KN Karen Neuberger® is throwing Pink Parties at over 300 Dillards stores and YOU are invited! For each purchase of KN Karen Neuburger pajamas at participating Pink Party locations, KN will donate 30 minutes of research to Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF). Party guests will also receive a free gift with purchase of a pink ribbon key chain. This is part of the KN-BCRF "Time for Research" program, the goal of which is to fund a full month of breast cancer research in October. You may also join this terrific cause by donating through the Time for Research page.


Wanna get an idea of what each minute of research translates to? Read on. In one hour a breast cancer biopsy can be preformed; in one day, a clinician can conduct genetic counseling for one woman and in one week, researchers can compare ten tumor samples! Every minute of research counts!

The KN Karen Neuburger® lifestyle brand has been known for their comfort-inspired fashion and home merchandise. Their products can be found in department stores, specialty stores and the KN website. KN has kindly sent me a set of Pink Lady Long Sleeve Pajamas for review. They are among the qualifying products in support of the Time for Research program. A portion of the proceeds support BCRF year round. I love the pink roses and pink ribbons featured on the PJs. The PJ set is soft, comfortable, and made from high quality fabrics. Great to wear for the fall season and to show support for the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

The Giveaway

To encourage your participation in their Time for Research program, the nice people from KN have generously offered three awesome Pink Party prizes to my lucky readers. One Grand Prize winner will receive a Pink Lady PJ set ($78) and a pair of Pink Ribbon chenille socks ($15); and two runners up will each receive a Pink Lady PJ set.

New Look Giveaway #9: Bra Barrette

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~

The Bra Barrette is designed to tackle a common but embarrassing problem for women: slippery bra straps. Similar to a hair barrette, a Bra Barrette works to keep naughty bra straps in place under clothes in a most stylish way. Bra Barrette comes in three major styles: plain, charmed, and crystal and there are a wide variety of elegant designs and color themes within each category. My personal favorite is the charmed style. You may get a flavor of what each style looks like from the pink series showcased below.


Wearing a Bra Barrette not only provides a practical solution to your everyday problem, but helps you make a fashion statement. Bra Barrette is highly versatile too. In addition to being a bra strap holder, it can be used on tank tops, spaghetti-strap dresses, swimsuits, and similarly structured clothes. It can be more accurately described as a fashion accessory or a piece of jewelry. Check out what magic the Bra Barrette does on your back!


I was sent one plain clear bra barrette and one copper fairy charmed barrette for review. Both come in simple but finely crafted packaging. The enclosed paper card provides an easy 3-step demo of how to put on a Bra Barrette. The website also includes a how-to video. The Bra Barrette is easy to put on and comfortable to wear. I can hardly feel its presence on my back.

I also love that Bra Barrette is an eco-conscious company. All Bra Barrettes are made from recyclable plastic and use minimal packaging, which includes a recyclable paper card and a reusable plastic bag. You can send back any broken or damaged Bra Barrette for recycling.


Bra Barrette also has a fabulous Breast Cancer Awareness collection. During the Month of October, 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this collection will be donated to Susan G. Komen Foundation to fund Breast Cancer Research!

The Bra Barrette is an inexpensive fashion accessory with a starting price as low as $3.99. They have frequent sales and also give out discount codes on Facebook, Twitter, as well as in their newsletter.

The Giveaway

Lara, the inventor of Bra Barrette, has generously offered to give one of my lucky readers a BB Conceal and Reveal Pack, which includes a plain Bra Barrette for your Bra, one for your swimsuit, a beautiful CRYSTALLIZED^TM - Swarovski Elements Crystal Drop, and a bonus everyday flower charm! That's a $35 value!

Required Entry: Visit Bra Barrette and leave a comment telling me your favorite item from their online store. (Please leave a valid email address in your comment or make sure one is visible in your blogger profile).

Extra Entries (optional): please make sure you do the required entry first! Please leave a separate comment for each extra entry, i.e. 1 comment=1 entry.
