Breast Cancer Awareness: Make it Hot Pink all Year Round

The color Pink, more specifically, the Pink Ribbon symbolizes breast cancer awareness

I can admit I hate performing breast self-exams due to having dense breasts, I always think I may feel something. Plus, I’m a slight hypochondriac (on the verge of being full blown), but I do my best to cop a feel once a month when my menstrual cycle is finished. I can definitely do better in this department and I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels this way, mostly due to fear.

There are soooo many factors besides genetics when it comes to breast cancer. As always, do your research and practice preventative measures such as annual Doctor’s visits, using natural deodorant, exercise, and clean eating. One more quick thing, eliminate stress, forgive, release anger and grudges, all that manifests into diseases as well, just be happy!!

The color pink always hits…

I’ve always loved the color pink. Pink looks good on everyone!!! Pink will always make you stand out no matter what tone you wear.

When I first started having my makeup done professionally I would encourage makeup artists to play with colors on my skin, hoping they use the pretty hot pink shadows in their palettes. They’d always play it safe and use the Dark-Skin friendly colors of purple, green, and gold. Now don’t get me wrong I love some gold, BUT you mean to tell me you don’t know to use or play around with any other colors? An artist they call themselves *rolls eyes.* Courtney Sade who did my makeup for this shoot IS AN ARTIST! She slayed my makeup for the Gods!

The color Pink represents…

compassion | nurturing | love | romantic | affectionate | intimate | playful | sensuality| passionate

Pink is a combination of red and white, the passion and power of red softened with the purity, openness and completeness of white. Hot pink evokes warmth, happiness, and a love for life.
