For those of you that were looking for Mama Monday yesterday, I apologize, it’s going to be today (Tuesday) because of Mama’s monthly FOX5 San Diego TV spot. If you haven’t checked out the segment from yesterday, you should!! Now back to Mama Monday’s…and we’re still talking PINK this week!
Since every where you turn you see a PINK ribbon supporting Breast Cancer organizations in October, why not support a good cause and get your groceries at the same time?! Although it may not be from your loyal, trusted brand — branch out this week when you go grocery shopping and buy a product with a pink ribbon and feel good about it!
- Toilet Paper — yes, even toilet paper is going PINK! Pick up the limited edition PINK pack of Quilted Northern Soft & Strong and know you’re supporting the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. They have pledged $100,000 to the cause this year. Available at major grocery stores, Target and Wal-Mart.
- Chips and SALSA anyone? — Mrs. Renfro’s Gourmet Salsa is supporting breast cancer research with pink lids this month. With flavors like Raspberry Chipolte, Peach, and Mango Habanero, you’re sure to find one that tingles your taste buds (not to mention that they use all natural ingredients and it’s fat and gluten free)! Available at major grocery stores nation-wide.
- Toss Mushrooms into your dinner – the Mushroom Council has outfitted mushrooms in PINK containers this month in support of the cause! The council is donating proceeds from the PINK mushroom sales in addition to $50,000 to the City of Hope breast cancer research fund. In fact, white-button mushrooms have been found to block tumor growth so eat up (for YUMMY recipes visit www.mushroominfo.com)!!! Available at major grocery stores nation-wide.
- Health Booster — Emergen-C is going PINK this month and with cold and flu season in full swing, the extra dose of vitamins is just what you need to stay healthy! The pink-lemonade flavored fizzy drink offers 1,000 mg of vitamin C, energy-boosting B vitamins, minerals and electrolytes. Proceeds benefit The Keep a Breast Foundation. Available at major grocery and drug stores nation-wide.
- Sweep PINK — next time you clean, it can be for a good cause! PINK Swiffer Sweepers and PINK Swiffer Dusters are available for the month of October and will benefit the National Breast Cancer Association. The parent company, P&G, expects to donate $250,000 this year to the cause. Available at major grocery stores, Target and Wal-Mart nation-wide.
Enjoy shopping PINK this week with these easy to find, everyday items!! It can’t get easier than this to support a good cause — I mean everyone could use a little TP, right?!
My philosophy is simple: just because you're a mom doesn't mean you have to forgo style or your life. You can do it all with a little help from Mama. Mama makes life easier by doing all the shopping, crafting and ranting for you because really...what Mama has the time for that?! Mama will not lie, I can bake but if you're looking for cooking tips you might be better off going someplace else!
Cute! I am going to go pick up the Pink Toilet paper for the girl’s bathroom very cute! My husband loves quesadillas with grilled mushrooms or thrown on some eggs, salads!
