Hey there!

#OCTOBERISHERE 
Hello Hello! October is also known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is a reminder for you to not be a shame of feeling your own body. Breast cancer is serious and very much avoidable, so we encourage you to take a minute now to touch your boobs because we care.......

Open letter:  Pink is the new white. 

 

Hi there, as October starts I want to say that you still have 90 days ahead of 2020. Don't be the negative person who just complains and want this year to end, we must teach our brain (and ourselves) to understand that there will always be good and bad days. Today may not be as good as yesterday, but tomorrow is always a new beginning. I know it sounds a bit like BS but it is true. Think about it! 

 

This month is pink yet I'm done with pink being the only color referring to women, hey world can you please stop? Pink is the new white because we have the right to be any color we want. Today I'm yellow, tomorrow I'm purple and life goes on. Women are a blank canvas to become whatever they want to be.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an international campaign, but we shouldn't feel our body only in October. The majority are raised without information enough about their own bodies, how crazy is that? Women's education has improvements to make, from explaining the naturalness of the period to looking at your own vagina. When was the last time you saw yours?
If you don't remember, it is time for you two to meet again. 

 

The female body is complex yet delicate. It has tons of needs and specific intricacies that the male body lacks and the best person to know your body is yourself. The period is not a repulsive act, is the representation your body is fully working. This subject shouldn't be a topic only when women start menstruating, it has to be explaining and talked before. Have you ever thought that some women do extreme things to stop their period which results in irreparable damages?
Period is blood, period. And blood smells if you don't clean it.

Take a moment this weekend to start deep listening to your body, try to recognize the signs along the day because the best medicine is prevention.  

 

When you know your body, you can understand yourself better.


The pleasure is yours!
 

❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 🖤 🤍 🤎 💖


And please, if you are old enough to drink, you are old enough to take good care of yourself. Breast cancer doesn't have an age or favorite person. Feel it. Touch it. Test it.
