You have to watch this video, ladies. It shows how to do some simple tests to check yourself. While the video is funny at times, the message it delivers is quite serious.
Check it out and enjoy the show, and Tommy :)

Lots of contests, but are you in?
My friend Pelf is running contests during Breast Cancer Awareness Month and wonders why there are not more people joining in, so I thought I would give her blog a plug and see if it helps :) Here is her post:
You know what’s funny?
I am running a series of simple-to-play and fun contests on the official Pink for October website, but why aren’t YOU participating? We are giving away a lot of attractive prizes throughout the month, plus, it’s for a good cause! Did you know that by participating, you are actually reaching out to your readers and increasing awareness on this deadly but preventable disease? :D
So let me tell you more about the contests that I’m running:
Every Monday and Thursday, I will announce a word, and you are supposed to find or take a picture that best describes that word and blog about it. After that, you should drop by and leave me a comment and link on the post. It’s that easy! On Oct 31st, I will randomly pick a lucky winner from all those who leave me a comment. Which means that the more you play, the higher your chances are of winning something :D
On top of that, there are also those month-long contests. You could either share a breast cancer related true story, or you could design a Pink for October button/banner/badge, and and on Oct 31st, I will randomly pick a winner.
Seriously, MY CONTESTS are definitely easier than those that ask you to write a 5000-word essay about your first love, or why you like to watch rainbows, no?
Come and join us! :vodka:

Are You Prepared?
Everyone that drives, and that is most of us, has to be ready for anything and everything when they are driving down the road. That's just common sense, to be aware of things. But, it is also common sense to know that sooner or later, something can jump up and get you. So, are you prepared?
Like sense, all drivers truly need auto insurance. Depending on which state or country you are in may decide how much is enough. Laws vary from place to place and you should carry whatever your location deems as enough, but having more can also be sensible.
At the Insurance Bureau you can get an online quote that meets your personal needs. Many consumers don't realize that there are more choices to car insurance than the most well known auto insurance companies with clever commercials. Many smaller, auto insurance providers that don't advertise, to cut down on costs, may be able to offer you very cheap auto insurance quotes. InsuranceBureau.com searches car insurance companies, big and small, to find you the most competitive cheap auto insurance quotes available.
And, if you are looking to insure other things, like a home or even yourself, Insurance Bureau can help you with that too. Plus they have blog articles dealing with insurance matters that you can read even if you don't use the site for an insurance quote.
So, no matter what your insurance needs are, you owe it to yourself to check this site out. Click on the link above and get the protection you need.

Lowering The Risks
Continuing with the theme of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I give you an article I found over on breastcancer.org.
Every woman wants to know what she can do to lower her risk of developing breast cancer. If you have no personal history of the disease, you want to do what you can to stay clear of it. And if you have had breast cancer, you never want to get it again. You want to know how to lower your risk of the cancer coming back, and you want to reduce your risk of getting an unrelated new breast cancer.
The best defense against breast cancer is a good offense. There are no perfect solutions, but you can do many things to reduce your risk.
Regular screening tests for breast cancer, such as an annual mammogram and a breast exam during your annual checkup, allow you and your doctor to ensure that your breasts are as healthy as they can be. Screening also increases the likelihood that your doctor will find breast cancer early, when it's most treatable.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. If this doesn't mean anything to you, it should! Breast Cancer kills way too many women each year, and you should be concerned, as it could affect you, or a loved one. So, you should be doing certain things to help yourself or your loved ones.
Here is your tip for the day, to kick off this very important month:
Recommended Frequency for Breast Cancer Screening
All women should start conducting monthly breast self-exams when they are in their 20s. Clinical breast exams are usually performed by your doctor every two to three years while you are in your 20s - 30s, and every year when you are over 40 years of age. (This is assuming you keep your yearly appointments with your OB-GYN for your Pap smears and pelvic exams.) The recommendation for yearly mammograms usually begins when a woman turns 40, largely because younger breasts are usually too dense and fibrous to reveal much during a mammogram. Always follow your doctor's recommendations for regular screening. You should never be too busy to keep an appointment that could save your breasts, or your life. If you are younger than 40, and concerned about a high risk for breast cancer, talk to your doctor about the possibility of alternative breast cancer detection methods, like MRIs, that can take the place of mammograms until 40 years of age.
So, remember...THINK PINK!
