Normally I don\u2019t do personal posts. \u00a0I tend to keep a more muted presence online with some mentions here or there.<\/p>\n

Today I\u2019m taking an exception.<\/p>\n

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. \u00a0There\u2019s pink everywhere! That includes my\u00a0Etsy Shop: Sylum Vault<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m pretty sure most of you reading this know someone who\u2019s battled Breast Cancer. \u00a0Or been touched by Cancer in some way. \u00a0I lost my stepmom 18 years ago to Cancer, to this day my dad still misses her.<\/p>\n

One of my good friends through college fought Breast Cancer. \u00a0She survived – Thank God. \u00a0But her life was changed forever.<\/p>\n

My co-worker\u2019s mom recently went through treatment for Breast Cancer, and again – Thank God she survived.<\/p>\n

An online friend who I\u2019ve known for ten years just went through treatment for Breast Cancer, again with early detection it was treatable and now she\u2019s cancer free.<\/p>\n

Breast Cancer in the past decades has become more survivable due to the fight for awareness, and through this more money has gone\u00a0to research and finding a cure.<\/p>\n

So yes there is a lot of Pink out there, but it\u2019s for a good reason.<\/p>\n

And because of my own personal connections to friends who had fought and won, Sylum Vault has a\u00a0Breast Cancer Awareness Collection<\/a>. \u00a0There isn\u2019t a lot I can do personally, but I can make jewelry and I can raise awareness.<\/p>\n

So on that note: \u00a0During the Month of October 10% of\u00a0all proceeds from Sylum Vault will be donated to \u00a0The Breast Cancer Research Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re looking for anything Pink or want to show your support or give a gift \u2026 or needing something fun for Halloween – take a moment and browse my\u00a0Etsy Shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n
