Although pink is a pretty and playful color, during the month of October, it helps bring awareness to an ugly disease – breast cancer. Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, I will showcase different products throughout the month whose proceeds go toward helping find a cure for this disease that has affected so many families, including my own.

Diptyque Pink Roses Candle available at www.beautyhabit.com for $68. Proceeds from the sale of the limited-edition Pink Roses Candle will aid The Pink Agenda’s mission to raise money and heighten awareness of Breast Cancer among young professionals, hoping to cultivate the next generation of philanthropists.

Have you ever bought products that help raise money for breast cancer research? Have you been personally affected by this disease?

Today marks my 2nd year anniversary for Brown Girl Gumbo! I am truly grateful for all of the readers that frequent my site every day.

When it comes to shaving, Schick is my favorite brand! I’m already a huge fan of their other razors so when I recently tried their Intuition Plus Moisturizing Care razor, I knew that I would be completely satisfied with the results.

This handy razor actually lathers and moisturizes as you shave, leaving skin feeling soft and smooth. Plus, its four blades are accompanied with shea butter (the one I used) or milk and honey so there is no need for a gel, soap or body wash. This is the perfect razor to get your gams looking gorgeous for the summer!

The man who brought us some of the best pop songs in music history, Michael Jackson, has died. The King of Pop, 50, died from cardiac arrest on Thursday, June 25th.

Please share your favorite Michael Jackson songs, moments, etc. I must say, one of my favorite MJ moments was seeing him dance with the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, a few years ago on the BET Awards. I have many others, but that one stands out to me the most right now.

Rest in peace, Michael Jackson.
