lyt 12 days of Christmas Haircare Charity Special : day 2 | breast cancer care

As you've guessed today's fantastic charity of the day is ...

'Breast Cancer Care'

Yes it's the wonderful holiday season and we are all in the merriest of moods with Christmas and the New Year only a few days away! Well why not spare a few minutes to indulge in the Christmas charity spirit too!

What is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. Around 50,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, around 300 of them men.

Approximately 81 per cent of breast cancers occur in women who are over the age of 50. Nearly half of all cases are diagnosed in people in the 50-69 age group.

Just over 49,000 women and 300 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK.

Breat Cancer and Haircare  

Just about every cancer patient who undergoes Chemotherapy experiences all if not some hairloss.  

Though hairloss may be the least of a breast cancer pateints worries, there is no denying... it does take its toll.

 

Breast cancer patients often result to wearing wigs or beautiful scarves as hair accesories... do you know someone with breast cancer? Perhaps you could buy them a silk headscarf for Christmas?

 

What role can you play?  

You are not expected to donte your life savings to support the cause but that extra pound sitting at the bottom of your bag could find a better home and make a small difference this Christmas.

 

Here are some fun ways to get involved

- Make a donation

- Gift Shop (perfect place to find some xmas prezzies)

- Get involved in a Fundraising event

- If none of the above fit... sit back with a hot cup of tea and simply browse

www.breastcancercare.org.uk

and finally remember... exchange your small tooth combs for wide ones, swap your cotton headscarf for a silk or satin one... and Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Avec amour...

lyt 12 days of Christmas Haircare Charity Special : day 1

October is usually a month when we remember Breast Cancer and go the extra mile to raise funds to support such an amazing charity.

I'm not one to post about anything too personal but a personal experience has made me want to make this Christmas about awareness and the need to understand and appreciate the pains of strong people who are connected to haircare in their very own way.

This time 6 years ago I have memories of the usual Christmas preparations in my house in London. My mum would make several trips from North to South and East to West just to makesure that just about every 100 members of the faimily had their very own Christmas present! Those times I was a teenager, too cool to care and mouthy! O did I have a mouth! I did everything I could to dodge the boring Christmas shopping trips and would groan for days at the thought of doing it, so much so that my mum as sweet as she was would leave me be and carry all of the bags by herself. Who would know 2 years later those memories would never relive themselves and that, that would be the last Christmas she shopped.

My mum's diagnosis was a complete shock. Yes dad was present, but she held everything together, the perfect neck of an equally strong man. With 2 younger sisters my fear was of their lost memories and the pain they must have felt at seeing this beautiful woman change so drastically.

Fast forward 3 years later and the memories of what a beautiful upbringing I had will never fade.

So how does this relate to haircare and this blog? Well it's no surprise that cancer patients lose their hair, which comes as an exceptional shock for someone with long luscious tresses. I can't imagine losing my hair or having it made so short without my consent, and the ignorance of so many people and their hair is so disheartening to me.

This month rather than just host giveaways, I'd love for you to make that conscious effort to appreciate and look after what you have.

Make haircare about love this season and stay tuned for tomorrows charity of the day!!!  x

a woman's heels head and standards have to be high !

I wish could claim this genious declaration however all heel salutes go to Grace and her geniously luring tumblr 'in-her-stilettos'. I'm on a journey towards a Phd in virteous 'womanity' so high standards are definitely on my to-keep list... as well as high heels of course!

Winter and icy floors better keep their distance because these bad boys need to be worn whatever the weather!

O santa, if you can hear me... make it rain on me with one of these for xmas *big smile and puppy dog eyes*

gimme gimme Baby - liss | Christmas giveaway no. 2

Evening mi dearies,

as promised I have another Christmas Giveaway and this one is worth getting your warm winter mitts on! For anyone who has heard of the American term Caruso set well this is exactly how you can get yourself one of those!

BaByliss Thermo- Ceramic Rollers

Set includes: 

20 ceramic rollers in 3 sizes - large, medium and small 

10 clips and 20 pins included. 

20 rollers - 8 large, 6 medium, 6 small.

I love these rollers but can't justify my now 5 major hair tools (hooded dryer, newly sent steamer, curling wand, GHD's, hair tongs... eek there's more!) ... there'll be no room when I move all my stuff and enter what they call the marital home! Gotta leave some leg room for the hubbies socks and perhaps a pair of shoes... I'm sure there'll be enough room for that if I give this away!!!

So for a lush opportunity to get your Kardash curls going ornnn...
