Today I am launching my review of the L'Oréal Colors of Hope costmetics collection, so please visit my Review Blog and read my impressions. With every purchase of the cosmetics bag, L'Oréal Paris will donate $5 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, so we can help each other by fighting this insideous disease, and look gorgeous doing it. Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancers in the US, and is the 5th leading cause of cancer death among women. It is estimated that over 20,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2010, and more than half will die as a result. September is ovarian cancer awareness month and there's no time like the present to become involved and help find a cure.
This is my best friend, Chris, and it is to her that I dedicate this post and my review. She died from the disease when she was just 52 years old, in January of 2008. Chris left behind 2 daughters, Tara and Stephanie, her mother and father, Marge and Craig, her sister and brother, Dawn and Norman, many loving friends and me. We met in Junior High School and were all but inseparable for many years after. Life pulled us apart as we became responsible adults, but it was as if no time had passed at all whenever we connected. It is her raucus laughter that lingers with me. She was my best friend for more than 40 years, and I am forever changed without her presence in my life.
