Jelly Belly’s For Breast Cancer Research

I came home the other day and these Jelly Belly brand fruit punch flavored jelly beans were on my desk. Have I told you my husband and I are suckers for anything with a pink ribbon on it as long as proceeds go to the cause? Not hard to figure out, perhaps. But anyway, back […]

Pink Ribbon Review Breast Cancer Blog Carnival

Welcome to the very first Pink Ribbon Review Breast Cancer Blog Carnival! We had a few operating difficulties along the way — the powers that be at Blog Carnival deleted the dang listing, probably thinking any carnival with the word “breast” in the title was certainly spam.

School’s Out for Summer: Pink Ribbon Raucous

Bring. It. On.

“What Kind of Girl are You?” … A Guest Post By Jami Bernard

If you had asked me — and who would have thought to ask — I would have said I was a bandana girl. But when it came time to choose, I chose a wig. And didn’t wear it.

I shared earlier this week that it was Celebrity Week at b5Media’s Health and Wellness Channel.

Dorothy Hamill (2008)
Robin Roberts (2007)
Cynthia Nixon (2006)
Sheryl […]
