Who doesn't like Hershey's Kisses? 

My kids go crazy over them, I GO CRAZY OVER THEM!  And with Halloween only a day away and as I droll while writing this post, I think I need to go out and buy a bag now!

Don't forget this is the last week to comment on any of our breast cancer awareness posts to be entered in the drawing for a tote bag filled with goodies!  Comment on what you did this month to help support breast cancer research!    

I am not a cat person, more of a dog person, but I just had to share this fun little Halloween product for all you cat lovers out there!  We all include our pets in the holidays right, I know some of you even dress your furry little animals up for Halloween!  Now I do not go that far as my three boys are enough, but buying the pets a little something to celebrate with the rest of the family is okay in my book!

Meet Eerie EEKS Mice Cat Toys; each little "mouse" is dressed up like a pumpkin or a pirate or a skeleton AND filled with organic cat nip {and of course a rattle tucked inside for kitty's listening pleasure}.  Cats go nuts over cat nip filled toys right?  Of course they do!  So let them share in the spooky fun this week! Fat Cat Inc. has some fun, unique toys for cats and dogs that you must go check out!  Think ahead to filling their Christmas stockings!

Here's a different spin on "treats" for Halloween.  Treat Beauty has plenty of sweet organic skin care items!  Give that woman in your life (daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, nanny, teacher, etc...) something special for not just Halloween, but for any special occasion. 

The picture above is their Gourmet Bath Truffles, I love the packaging!  These would make such perfect gifts!  Take some time and check out everything Treat Beauty has to offer; lotions and creams, baby scrubs, nail care, makeup, and more!  I definitely need to get some of their Lip Scrub.  This time of year you really need to take care of your skin (my lips get so dry and I never pay attention to them so they get worse).  "Treat" yourselves ladies!

I've got three fantastic companies to show you today, all doing their part this month in donating to Breast Cancer foundations and raising awareness.  And all are geared towards skin care and women! 

First, say hello to Lisa Ann Skin Care.  Body scrubs, lotions, butters, balms, everything you could possibly imagine to pamper yourself at home!  A portion of sales from Lisa's Pomegranate Line is donated to the Susan G Komen Foundation.  And is Pomegranate items just the rave these days or what!  So go stock up and have a nice spa day at home (it's cheaper than going to a day spa for sure!)

Have you all placed your Avon order yet this month?  Make sure you get some Breast Cancer Awareness items!  I ordered the water bottle and can not wait to get it!  So perfect to bring to work with me!  Avon products are so affordable, it's such an inexpensive and easy way to donate to the cause.  And they have Christmas items out now!  I'm stocking up on my next order with lots of stocking stuffers for the kids, lip balms, bubble baths, and more!

Finally, something stylish and "cool" to hold all your skin care, cosmetic purchases.  The IcyBag keeps everything chilled when it's hot outside!  Or think about when you travel and leave your cosmetics in the car or on the plane and everything melts all over, not anymore!  This is a fabulous bag!  Think lunch cooler but for your skin-care products instead, what a great idea, and the money you will save by not ruining your cosmetics due to heat again!  20% of sales of the pink/tan IcyBag is donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. 

Love feminine products like these!!  V-moda has these PINK and oh so trendy and girlie iPod (MP3 player) earphones, VIBE Blush.

Everyone is looking to be "greener" one way or another these days, and as the holidays approach this is the best time to start!  Green Halloween is a fabulous little resource to help turn your Halloween into a much healthier time for your family and your community.

I spent a good hour on this site recently going through all the helpful tips and ideas!  If you are hosting a Halloween party, there are a ton of ideas on making your get together healthier yet still memorable!  From organic treats to recycled decorations and games; I'm so eager to try some of this tips out for my son's "harvest" party at school!

There's some fun and creative Do-It Yourself crafts to try with the kids, alternatives to the candy trick or treating treats, and so much more to entertain your children on one of their favorite days of the year!  So much for us as parents to do to make life and the holidays better for our growing families!
If you are in the Seattle area, check out their events calender!

Let's focus on the little ones for this feature! I've got something for Halloween and for Breast Cancer Awareness month to show you!

Trendy Twin Shop has the most adorable clothing and accessories for twins (or triplets), siblings, and more!  It's hard to find a shop dedicated to twins, this one is perfect; a one stop shop for coordinating your twins (until they no longer want to match each other that is).  Trick or treat anyone?  Cute onesies or tees for the Halloween season; for the little ones too young to wear a costume and for the older ones to wear to preschool where most of the time they can not wear a costume.  I'm loving Halloween shirts this year!
 
Something "Pink" for baby this month from my all time favorite company, the modern and innovative Boon Inc.   In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Boon Inc. will donate $1 to breast cancer research for every purchase made on their website that includes one or more of the new pink feeding items.  And as a special thank you to all customers, take 10% off using the code pink08 on all pink feeding items through October 31, 2008.  So if you have any baby showers coming up or need to cross off some gifts on your Christmas list, here you go!  Trust me, Boon Inc. makes fabulous products, that are modern, practical and now pink!
Don't forget our ongoing contest!  Leave us a comment on what you are doing to support the cause  for your chance to win the Ann Veronica tote bag filled with goodies at the end of the month!  Good luck!

Laptop, tote, diaper bags, oh my!  I know you are not sick of all this pink yet!  I just love it all!  Today may just be my favorite post for the month since I am a bag junkie!  No matter the bag, size, shape, whatever, I will find a use for it.  So I have three fabulous companies to show you today, offering Pink bags to support the breast cancer cause in their own ways.

First one is a Debra Cortese Pink Laptop bag or tote in three beautiful pink designs.  For every Pink bag purchase, Cortese Designs will donate 20% to Making Strides.  How jealous will every woman in your office be if you walk in with a new trendy pink laptop bag??

Secondly, one of my favorite baby product companies, Bumkins, has a wonderful promotion going on this month in honor of Breast Cancer awareness month.  Bumkins is "Pink and Proud" and has placed their Grande Diaper bag on sale, throwing in 5 Breast Cancer Awareness ribbons with each bag purchase to share with your family and friends!

And FINALLY, the tote we've been talking about all month, the tote you can enter to win filled with goodies, the Ann Veronica Pink Ribbon tote.
