Support Breast Cancer Awareness Month with @mito_q
We all know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and there’s a lot we can do to spread the word about early detection and fundraising to find a cure. Not only this month, but all year ‘round.
One of the great skincare lines out there doing amazing things this month (and always) is MitoQ. This fantastic company is donating 15% of their net proceeds to one of the leading national education + support organizations, the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF).
The NBCF is an incredible organization that provides free mammograms and diagnostic breast care services to women throughout the U.S. who couldn’t otherwise afford them. The NBCF also works with cancer centers and clinics for research efforts, while also educating women about early detection and providing important breast cancer resources.
So it’s one fine organization to support.So, what is this MitoQ that’s supporting NBCF? Simply put, it’s one of the best anti-aging skin products on the market today. The patented ingredient in MitoQ is something called mitoquinol, and this has been scientifically proven to penetrate the mitochondria and is 1000 times more potent that CoQ (a molecule used in some of the world’s best anti-aging products).
It’s aim is to return skill cells to optimal function by supporting collagen and elastin production. That means it reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles (yay!), while your skin becomes denser, firmer and sees those age spots fade away.
Need proof? Science will show you!
Grab your anti-aging MitoQ today at MitoQ.com and show us the results on Twitter or Facebook!

Event LOVE: 9th Annual White #Cashmere Collection
I woke up really excited on Wednesday morning, and couldn’t get myself to the newly renovated Arcadian Court quickly enough to watch the 9th annual White Cashmere Collection. I’m always really excited to see this show, simply because I’m always blown away when I see how ordinary bathroom tissue, is transformed into beautiful fashion pieces. This year my mind was not spared, and was definitely blown. The show began with an awesome acrobatic performance, followed by some words from the host of the event, long-time supporter of the collection and breast cancer survivor, Canada AM’s co-host Beverly Thomson, and then we got to hear the lovely Lolitta Dandoy’s touching story about how she survived breast cancer. Then it was time for the show!
amazing.
What is the White Cashmere Collection? “It’s Canada’s annual celebration of Fashion with Compassion. A fund-and-awareness-raiser for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s vision of a future without breast cancer. More than 100 Canadian designers have participated to-date!”
Rodney Philpott– “…sultry slit-to-the-hip sheath is crafted from BT “lace” and strewn from shoulder to the hem of its train with white flowers and petals.
Suhaila Niazi– “…delectable layer cake of a gown… complete with a pink ‘fondant’ bodice and tiered skirts ‘frosted’ with elaborate flowers and edged in beaded ‘icing’.”
Adrian Wu- “…great knotted and woven ropes that coil around the torso while its draped skirt balloons to the floor.”
LABEL– “…delicious, dangerously short dance dress… smooth strapless bodice with a frothy skirt created from layer upon layer of pink and white BT”
Lucci Rojas– “…delicate, painstakingly pleated and folded pennants of pink and white BT ‘fabric’ flutter to the knees where a graceful white floor-length skirt takes over.”
Golnaz Ashtiani– “…beautiful floral brocade effect from Cashmere BT ‘fabric’… with dramatic cone-like volumes…for the BT Couture Collection.”
Izzy Camilleri– “…party dress entirely constructed of hundreds of BT blossoms, in white Cashmere Envirocare.”
love!!!
Laura Siegel– “…intriguingly draped and layered dress…textural interest by adding a chunky knit shawl.”
Joel Bissonnette-“…seductive thigh-slit, halter-neck dress features a slim, tiered skirt and a cheeky corseted waist.”
Cara Cheung-“…sharp shoulders, rhinestoned seaming, ready-for-anything short flowered skirt, and cape-like overskirt.”
MY FAVE!!!!
Anomal Couture, Sonia Leclair-“…sensual cut-out gown…crafted from essentially linked lingerie elements.”
David Jack-“…aerodynamically sleek couture… takes flight with aileron-like peplums at the hips and a flowing BT fabric train.”
the train was giving me life!!
