October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is a great time to schedule a yearly mammogram and encourage the woman in your life to do the same.

After you’ve taken care of your own health, you can go a step further by making a contribution to organizations that support breast health and work to find a cure. Luckily, lots of companies make it really easy to support breast cancer research with special edition products, the proceeds of which go to support the cause.  Here are a few of my picks for Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2014.
