Good morning world. Its now 8am in the morning and I’m about to leave for college heading for my interim presentation. Well to be honest I think I freaked out way too early and I’m surprisingly calm at the moment although I know I’d probably go oh-no-oh-no before it. 
For the first time in weeks, I slept at 12midnight falling asleep to the Man Utd vs Liverpool match downstairs on the living room couch before being woken up by the Keeper‘s phone call heading upstairs. People please learn how to appreciate your sleep,because not everybody is as fortunate as you are to get sleep. 
As you should know by now,its still the month of October and its internationally recognized as the Breast Cancer awareness month. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the world, affecting one in 19 women in Malaysia. As with most cancers, the earlier breast cancer is detected and diagnosed, the better the chances of successful treatment.
Please,I’m not obsessed with breasts but I am fearful of the amount of people who’re not aware of the things growing on the inside. What a literal way of putting it huh?
The pink ribbon is an international symbol of breast cancer awareness. This year, the Pink Ribbon Day falls on Monday, 26th October, the fourth Monday in October and RylDesigns would like to play a part in creating awareness about Breast Cancer in this blogosphere. We will be selling a collection of Pink Ribbon Charm Bracelets and Necklaces in conjunction with the Breast Cancer awareness month and 50% of profit will be donated to the Breast Cancer Welfare Association (BCWA). The endorsement letter from BCWA can be found here.
In conjunction with the Breast Cancer Awareness month, they have designed 12 new products specially for this campaign and 50% of profit will be donated to the Breast Cancer Welfare Association. Your support no matter how small makes a difference. FREE postage (Registered Mail / POS Ekspress) is included with any of the purchase. Not only that, for orders of 3 or more items from this collection, a 10% discount will be given. If you are interested in any of the products below, please do not hesitate to drop them a mail at Ryl.Designs@gmail.com
Prices ranges from RM20-RM35 
The Pink Ribbon Charm Collection can be viewed here. Your support enables them to continue with their mission to improve the quality of life for women with breast cancer and to create a well informed society with regard to breast health and breast cancer. I’m only doing a tiny part by spreading the message,but you can do your part by being apart of this campaign. To be very honest,I was very well impressed by a friend, Cheryl who took the effort to raise the awareness & sometimes its not all about the money. 
I hope the ladies would just click away,and what sets these sets of designs apart would be the ribbon on each of the designs.
Have an awesome week ahead, because I know mine will be.
With much love,cheerios.

Statistics
Did you know that breast cancer afflicts an estimated figure of more than ONE MILLION women in the world each year and is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths among women worldwide, second to lung cancer?
Did you know that of the ONE MILLION afflicted women, almost 45% of those women live in developing countries?
Did you know that of the new cases of female breast cancer reported in Malaysia in 2003, 64% of these cases were women between the ages of 40 to 60 years old?
Did you know that Chinese women seemed to be at greatest risk, with an incidence of 59.7 per 100,000; followed by Indian women (55.8 per 100,000) and Malay women (33.9 per 100,000)?
Did you know that early detection and getting appropriate medical attention can help save lives? So it is unfortunate in Malaysia that nearly 40% of the new cases identified each year were already in the very advanced stages of the disease.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the world, affecting one in 19 women in Malaysia. As with most cancers, the earlier breast cancer is detected and diagnosed, the better the chances of successful treatment.
One of the best ways of ensuring that breast cancer is for you to be breast aware, that is understanding and knowing how your breast look and feel like under normal circumstances, so that you are able to seek early medical advice if there are any changes in either breast.
Find out as much as you can about the subject so you can make an informed choice about your treatment options. Do not be afraid to ask questions from medical practitioners.
Be positive and lead a normal life after breast cancer treatment. Take good care of your mind, body and soul.
