Give & Take - Hearts to You
"Every October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month ushers in a plethora of pink-ribboned products. From candy and candles to jewelry and jeans, the charitable choices seem endless. Which ones deserve your dough? We suggest the following trio -- stylish enough for year-round: Body System's pomegranate sugar scrub donates 20 percent of its profits to research, while 10 percent of Boscia's rose blogging lines and 50 percent of Stephanie Johnson's Heart Bridget Clamshell bag go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Ultimately, though, any pink purchase pays off by helping more than 200,000 American women diagnosed annually with the disease." - Corynn Steindler
