In 1999, Betsey Johnson was diagnosed with breast
cancer. After surgery and 33 radiation treatments, she became an advocate in
the fight against the disease, making public appearances, participating in
numerous fund raising events and creating one-of-a-kind items that have been
auctioned-off to raise funds for various charities.
One of my favorite brands actively helping the fight against breast cancer
is Verikira Naturals. Unlike so many other brands that only do something
special in the month of October, Verikira does their part all year round
donating 10% of each sale of the Pink Grapefruit Collection to the Susan G.
Komen Breast Cancer Foundation no matter what month you purchase it in. The
Pink Grapefruit Collection consists of a sulfate and paraben-free shampoo ($28),
certified organic conditioner ($28), and certified organic lotion ($22). All
are available in $10, 2oz travel sizes as well. Love the smell – very refreshing
and just the right amount of citrus in the scent. The best part is that both
men and women can use it 🙂 Check the line out here!
I did not know that Betsy Johnson had breast cancer, too! I love her energy, she always does a summersault at the end of her shows. She is incredible!
