At 5 o’clock this morning I found myself up (I know, right?!) and walking around Harlem. I gotta say. I saw some really crazy crap at that hour including a guy carrying a huge cactus and a gypsy cab crawling next to me as I walked down the street. Thanks for the escort, homie.
Um, as I nervously quickened my pace, I began to think of pretty thoughts…pink thoughts…pretty in pink thoughts if you will. I thought of Duckie’s white shoes boppin’ around Iona’s record store, jammin to Otis Redding. I thought of Blaine (“that’s a major appliance. That’s not a name!”). And of course Andie. Was I the only one who felt Iona’s prom dress was gorge as it was? I mean lace collar…really Andie?!
Another reason I was thinking pinking (sorry) was because it’s Breast Cancer Awareness month. That means, among many other important things we can do to show our support, we can buy beauty products where a portion of the proceeds will go to the cause. A couple of my faves:
Jeepers Creepers How’d You Curl Them Peepers: Sephora Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Eyelash Curler $16. So girly-chic I could use it all day (temperamental lashes permitting). I so-so love to use this curler because it grips my lashes and honestly makes me feel like I’m actually doing something good. And btw, it makes my lashes look phenom! One dollar from every sale goes to Breast Cancer Awareness.
I Just Want Your Extra Time and Your Lips (Glossed): Purple Lab Sealed With A Cure $18.50
This universally flattering color is infused with immune system-boosting echinacea, antioxidants, and vanilla (a natural anti-depressant) and it is super moisturizing. It was created with breast cancer survivors in mind. For instance, chemotherapy can dry out the lips. A portion of the proceeds will go to The Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation.
