EVERYDAY We Should Think Pink

I have a friend, her name is Erin.  She is in her late 20’s and she just lost her Aunt to breast Cancer.  Before that she lost her Grandmother, and before that, another Aunt.  Her mother broke the news to her a month ago that she now has Breast Cancer but thanks to her diligence of Breast Self-Examinations (BSE), the doctors think they caught it soon enough that she will beat it.  Erin is a trooper, to be so young and suffer so much loss in such a short period of time.

We as a society seem to lump certain causes into “Months” like Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and so on, but this is something that touches EVERYONE.  Everyone has a Mother.  Breast Cancer is also not just targeted to women, yep, men get it too!  That is why it is imperative that you do a BSE every chance you get.  It’s not to be paranoid, or over reacting.  I personally know a few women who have indeed saved their  own lives by getting lumps checked.  Most recently a co-worker who thought it was silly to go to the doctor about a lump.  Luckily she did, the mass was so close to her body wall, had she of waited longer the doctor said she wouldn’t have had a fighting chance.

So FIGHT!  FIGHT to survive, FIGHT for a cure!

Welcome

Shop*gasm is a creation from the twisted warped mind of at least 2 people with shopping a.d.d. and the mind of one person who loves to tag along and will one day have a computer fast enough to keep up.

DISCLAIMER:
This blog is a project that was birthed out of three sisters and friends wanting to do something together that we could all enjoy and share.

The contributors of Shop*gasm are consumers. We like to shop. Correction...we LOVE to shop. For the most part, we blog our purchases. Maybe not every single one, but definitely something we find noteworthy.

On the off chance we're given items for review, we're thankful. But like other blog sites, we can not guarantee that your item will be blogged, nor will we guarantee that our review of items are always going to be favorable. What we will guarantee is an open and honest blog for you to read, with just enough moxie and personality to make you either hate it or love it. LOL

Hopefully you'll find the blog just as fun and awesome as we have in creating it :)
