Happy Saturday Fam! I have a new video Iʻm sharing today on a haul I did a few months ago. I recorded the video but apparently didnʻt release it and found it sitting in my video list. If youʻre a perfume lover, I think youʻll enjoy this. Iʻm always on the hunt for gourmand perfume scents and Sugar Me Sweet on Etsy has easily become one of my favorites.
As we near the end of October 2016, I figured I would share with you a few products from brands that support the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign. While Breast Cancer Awareness is widely publicized each year in the month of October, the fact is – this cancer and others do not discriminate and attack all times of the year so it’s important that we do our best to be aware of what is out there and support the cause in the best way possible. “Think Pink” has been a way of supporting those we love and it can be done every day of the year, not just in October. I have been touched by cancer many times in my life, after losing my uncle Allen (my dad’s brother) to Leukemia when I was just a baby, I remember how it has affected my family and Lung Cancer, ALS and Breast Cancer have all been contributions to loss in my family over the years. It is something I whole-heartily support and awareness is important for everyone. Today I’ll be sharing with you a few products and brands that support the Breast Cancer Awareness cause and campaign so that the next time you’re shopping, you can “think pink” too.
Travalo is one of my favorite girly beauty items. It’s not your traditional makeup item, but I love scents and I love to smell good – so Travalo allows me to take my fragrance on the go with me. This October, Travalo – the leader in travel fragrance options, has partnered with Bright Pink. Bright Pink is on a mission to save women’s lives from breast and ovarian cancer by empowering them to live proactively at a young age. Bright Pink is the only national non-profit organization focused on prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer in young women.
In the month of October, 25% off all sales of the Travalo Excel, Class HD and Milano pink models will be donated to Bright Pink. Consumers will be supporting Bright Pink’s goal to reach 52 million young women in the U.S. between the ages of 18 and 45, while continuing to have the ability to refill fragrances directly from a standard bottle through the patented and unrivaled Genie-S pump fill system from Travalo.

Another product I love and have raved about here on the blog over the last couple of months is WINK by Amalie. #PinkWINK is a campaign I discussed here, and is part of their BOGO for the Cure Campaign. For every bottle of WINK that is sold during the month of October, Amalie will donate one bottle to a cancer survivor to help them regrow their lashes and brows that are lost through chemotherapy. This is one of my favorite campaigns for Breast Cancer Awareness because often times we don’t think about the challenges a survivor of breast cancer (or any cancer for that matter) will endure. WINK is also one of my favorite beauty products as I have noticed huge results from using this product over the last 3-4 months.

This October, the all natural hair care brand Hair La Vie and all natural foot care brand Baby Foot will also be joining the fight. Each company will be donating 20% of their October sales to help the fight against cancer.
Hair La Vie is one of my all time favorite hair supplements and I’m proud to share with you their campaign for this year. Through their innovative, results-oriented line of nourishing hair supplements and natural hair products, Hair La Vie is in the business of making women not only feel good about their hair, but about themselves. Hair La Vie is also a brand that strives to help causes that they hold dear to their heart and they make it a top priority for them – especially women’s health issues. For the month of October, Hair Lav Vie will be donating 20% of their sales profits to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Baby Foot, a new product that I will be reviewing for all of you here in the coming weeks, is an all natural foot exfoliant containing 17 natural extracts that help get your feet back to looking and feeling like baby feet. This October, 20% of Baby Foot’s proceeds from their limited edition pink box will be donated to the American Cancer Society. Baby Foot Exfoliant is working hard this month to promote breast cancer awareness with their limited edition Pink Box.
Baby Foot, the revolutionary, all-natural, Japanese foot exfoliant that makes your feet as smooth and soft as a baby’s foot, contains a unique formula that allows your feet to exfoliate naturally, leaving them highly moisturized; $25 at BabyFoot.com.
While October is coming to an end in a few short days, you still have some time to check out some of these sites and support the cause. I am a believer that support for any type of charity or campaign should happen all year long and that’s why my family and I give back to these causes several times through out the year, but I think it’s awesome that companies do this too. I have been easily discouraged over the years by other companies that have exploited the cause of these campaigns, but I’m thankful that there are some great ones out there for positive benefit of those that need it. I have included items that I think would help make any woman (or man) feel wonderful and positive no matter their struggle. Whether it be to help with strengthening and regrowing their hair or lashes/brows, pampering themselves after long hours of chemo and recovery, or bringing a little swagger with a signature scent… I think these brands offer great products with a great cause. Help support the cause and consider these items when you are online shopping.

I love getting flowers for Anniversaries, Birthdays, Mother’s Day or “Just Because”, but I’m always open to fun ideas and little things that make these occasions fun,…
Over the years, Pacifica has become one of my favorite brands in the beauty industry. With inspiration taken from the ocean and beaches of the islands I call home, Pacifica has easily stole my heart over the years and some of the products they offer consistently make it into my daily rotation for use. Their hand creams, body butters and fragrances are some of my absolute go-tos and today I’m so excited to share some of my favorites with you.
Pacifica steals my heart as a brand because of what they stand for and the products they create and sell. They create products that serve women by meeting their needs and expectations while providing products that use safe ingredients. Their goal is to market positively to women. They also consider animals by creating products that are not only 100% vegan but also cruelty-free and PETA certified. And, Pacifica also focuses on taking care of the planet by using recyclable materials, creating less waste and using sustainable ingredients.
Some of the products I’m going to be chatting with you about today are available at Target. I’m so glad I was able to find the display at my local store and so happy that my island now has a Target so I can take advantage of getting the products in my hands when ever needed. First, I share with you the Coco Pure Travel Size Makeup Removing Wipes. These makeup removing wipes are Coconut milk infused natural towelettes that gently cleanse and wipe away makeup, excess oil, dirty and daily pollutants all without water. I have discussed this particular product on my site before which you can read about here. The scent of these wipes is entrancing – I love it. I also love that these are the perfect travel size that can be packed in your carry on bag or in your purse for on the go.
The Super Hydrating Hand Cream Duo Set includes the Indian Coconut Nectar (which is one of my favorite hand creams – EVER) and the Tuscan Blood Orange. Both are made with moisturizing coconut water – yas! and they smell amazing. If you are like me and love a great pick me up scent in the morning, the Tuscan Blood Orange will be a great choice. If you love the smell of coconut – then hello, you’ll love the Indian Coconut Nectar. These natural hand creams smell wonderful and help fight the signs of aging while adding deep moisture and protection. Made with nature’s best anti-oxidant rich ingredients like: shea butter, almond oil and safflower oil – this Paraben-free handcream is a favorite of mine for a reason and a definite must have for year round. I keep one in my purse at all times and these little hand creams have been travel companions many times.
Last but not least… the Daydreamer Roll-On Trio. If you have been following me a while, you know that Pacifica makes some of my favorite perfumes and scents and it’s a brand I consistently use. The Indian Coconut Nectar (do you see a coconut trend here?) is one of my all time favorites and as a Hawaiian girl – born and raised in the islands, I have a love for the smell of Tahitian Gardenia, because it reminds me of my childhood and teenage years as a hula dancer where I wore the Gardenia in my hair as I performed. These scents, which also includes the Tuscan Blood Orange are just a great little travel friend, and so easy to use at any time and anywhere. They use natural grain alcohol and the three signature blends are made with natural and essential oils. The fragrance lasts and boy does it smell great.
As I mentioned before, Pacifica is a brand that I use consistently and one you can easily find either in my purse or spread across my makeup table. The brand’s mission and goals are those true to my heart and I absolutely love the products they offer. Each of the products I mentioned here are available at Target as a part of the “Made to Matter – Handpicked by Target” line and you can also find these individually on Pacificabeauty.com. Reasonably priced and made with skin loving and earth loving ingredients – Pacifica is a brand I love and support.
How about you? What things have you tried from Pacifica? Do you have any favorites? Some of my favorite scents from the brand include: Island Vanilla, Hawaiian Ruby Guava, Waikiki Pikake, Tahitian Gardenia and Indian Coconut Nectar. These scents/fragrances are what you can find through out my household on any given day. Though, I’ll be honest in saying that you really can’t go wrong with any scent/fragrance you choose and I love that they make their handcreams and body butters in their best-selling fragrances too.
