October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and as someone who has lost a loved one to breast cancer, and has watched a few freidns fight the war against breast cancer and win, this is a cause near and dear to my heart.

There are so many things we can do to help fight breast cancer.

1) We can help by donating to breast cancer charity organizations such as the American Cancer Society, The National Breast Cancer Coalition, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Unite for Her.

2) We can wear pink during the month of October in order to help raise awareness about breast cancer.

3) We can help raise money for the fight against breast cancer is by purchasing products, we may already need in our life, which give a portion, or all, of their proceeds to a breast cancer charity. 

4) We can volunteer our time with organizations such as the American Cancer Society and help those who are battling, or recovering from the disease.

5) We can take charge of our own personal health and remind those around us who staying fit, eating healthy and eliminating or limiting alcohol intake can drastically reduce our chances of ending up with breast cancer; or any type of cancer. Side benefit, this type of lifestyle helps you heart and entire body too! Love that!

One of my favorite home fragrance companies, Agraria Home, is helping fight breast cancer this October. Agraria Home is donating 35% of proceeds from their Cedar Rose collection to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Love that! To shop the collection, please visit AgrariaHome.com.

So how do you plan to help in the fight against breast cancer this October?

Chanel’s fall 2014 beauty collection has arrived on store shelves, which means, we can enjoy a little bit of the new season during the current season! Love that!

The nail polish colors from Chanel’s fall 2014 color collection give us a snapshot into what will be hot this upcoming autumn season. Fall 2014 nail polish trends include soft pinks, nude’s, deep shades of blue and hunter green. Chanel’s fall 2014 nail polish collection includes a pinkish nude, “Secret,” an iridescent hue “Atmosphere” and a deep slate blue named “Orage.”

“Secret” from Chanel’s fall 2014 nail polish collection is a great way to wear fall 2014 during the hot summer months. This soft pink nail polish, also considered a nude shade, is easy to wear with any color palette and can easily pass for a summer hue. The pastel pink nature of “Secret” plays well with spring 2014’s pastel hues and summer 2014’s bright and neon colors. Although it works well as a summer hue, Chanel “Secret” nail polish is very fall 2014. Love that!

I tested out Chanel “Secret” nail polish and found the polish looked streaky with two coats. I added a third coat and the color turned out perfect. I wore Chanel “Secret” with three coats of color, one base coat and no top for one week. The nail polish held up really well and took six days to chip.

Chanel “Secret,” is not limited edition, so this pretty pink nail polish can easily become a classic staple in anyone’s nail polish wardrobe. “Secret” by Chanel is a great everyday nail polish which should work now and throughout the fall season; as well as into the winter and cruise seasons!

Chanel “Secret” nail polish from the fall 2014 color collection can be found online here and here.

Chanel’s summer 2014 nail polish colors are here! The colors are bright, playful, and perfect for the upcoming fun-filled summer months. Pink Tonic by Chanel is a bright, neon fuchsia hue which will definitely attract attention this summer 2014 season. The bright, neon color of Pink Tonic blends well with the seasons’ neon color palette, plays well with neutrals, and adds a little kick to pastel shades of pink, purple, green and blue.

Every year Chanel dictates the “IT” color in nail polish, and summer 2014 is no different. For summer 2014 we are looking at a mix of pastel hues, white, and neon brights for nail polish. Chanel Pink Tonic is a great nail polish color for the summer 2014 season since it is a bright pink hue which is easy to wear.

Although not a neutral color, Pink Tonic by Chanel plays well with the majority of colors in the summer 2014 color palette. This will make Chanel Pink Tonic nail polish easy to wear this summer, and perfect for the hot weather season. Love that!

I tested out Chanel Pink Tonic nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color; no top coat. Chanel pink Tonic nail polish lasted five days before chipping and seven days before needing to be redone. The color is smooth and shiny; no matte or sparkles. You could try a matte top coat with Chanel Pink Tonic nail polish, although, I personally love the high shine of the nail polish and would not want to dull it with a matte top coat.

Chanel Pink Tonic nail polish is a limited edition nail polish for the summer 2014 season. You can find Chanel Pink Tonic nail polish online here and here.
