The Comfy® Helps Keep You Cozy and Fight Breast Cancer

October 17, 2019 by Alisha 4 Comments

Lo One of the best perks of working from home is that I get to wear anything I want. One of the cons is that since I work overnights, during the colder months I swear my office decides it wants no parts of the central heat. I was so happy when I learned about The Comfy®! This would mean I didn’t have to pull out my little space heater and waste electricity trying to keep myself warm.

The Comfy® & Barbara Corcoran to Donate 50K to Susan G. Komen® in its Fight to End Breast Cancer.  

The #ComfyCares initiative is partnering with Susan G. Komen® in launching their new Comfy and Comfy Feet.

The Comfy‘s NEW Susan G. Komen limited edition Comfy! One part oversized sweatshirt and one part super snuggly blanket. This is perfect for any chilly weather walk/runs, a gift for a survivor or loved one of a survivor or as a way to give back! My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer 4 years ago and I’m always amazed by her strength and her fighting spirit. I’m even happier to say that she’s been cancer free since getting her double mastectomy. She is definitely my hero.

The Comfy® turns every situation into a cozy one. With the addition of Comfy Feet, wearers can enjoy head to toe warmth while finding comfort in giving back.

When Breast Cancer Hits a Loved One

October 26, 2017 by Alisha 7 Comments

 

breast-cancer-awareness-month

October is the month when the world brings more awareness to breast cancer.  But for me, each month is a reminder of how breast cancer can affect those we love.  On March 1, 2013 my mom had a double mastectomy after a biopsy showed early signs of cancer.  Luckily my mom has her mammograms performed yearly and the cancer was caught so early that she did not need radiation or chemotherapy.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, except for skin cancers. About 1 in 8 (12%) women in the US will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime.

The American Cancer Society’s estimates for breast cancer in the United States this year are:

  • About 231,840 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women.
  • About 60,290 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer).
  • About 39,620 women will die from breast cancer

Heroes in Heels: After Breast Cancer Fashion Show

September 9, 2013 by Alisha 6 Comments

This past February, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer.  Thankfully it was caught in the very early stages!  She opted to have a double mastectomy, even though the cancer was only found on the side they biopsied.  After her surgery, her surgeon also discovered cancer on her right side.  Since her cancer was found so early, she did not have to receive radiation or chemotherapy.

Breast Cancer Awareness Nail Art

March 4, 2013 by Alisha 20 Comments

Today’s mani is to show support for my awesome mom.  Back in March 2013 her mammogram came back looking a but peculiar.  Her doctor suggested she get a biopsy and the results came back for early stages of breast cancer.  My mother spoke with several doctors and decided to undergo a double mastectomy.  She had her surgery last week and is home recovering and doing well.  Her spirit is so positive and I’m just in awe of her strength.  Not just physically but mentally.  Hope you all enjoy today’s MANICure Monday Breast Cancer Awareness nail art.  And thank you all for your continued prayers and thoughts!
