October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There are so many great charities out there, and it’s hard to know which to support. I’ve put a list together of some great items you can buy and support breast cancer charities at the same time. How fun is it to shop for a good cause?!
1. Piperlime Asics Sneakers
For every sneaker sold, $2 will be donated to Christina Applegate’s Right Action For Women, a charitable services fund of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF), to help provide assistance to women who are at increased risk for breast cancer.
Price: $100 at piperlime.com
2. AHAVA Bath Salts
For every purchase of AHAVA Hope Blossoms mineral salts, AHAVA will make a 10% donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation in support of their mission to help fund research and promote education and early detection. These mineral-rich salts contain 21 essential Dead Sea minerals, including magnesium, potassium and calcium that work to melt away stress, while providing essential moisture to skin and relief to tired muscles.

These French-milled soaps from Gianna Rose are embossed with a pink ribbon that symbolizes hope for so many.
