Mirror Makeovers

I am sure almost all of you know atleast one person that has been effected by cancer at some point in their life.  I myself know a handful of people that have dealt with or passed away from cancer.  It is a frightening disease that can be quite hard to deal with.  For those of you unfamiliar with cancer let me briefly explain to you what it is.

Cancer is not racist or sexist it does not care about age.  It is a disease that that cause abnormal cells to divide without control and can then invade other tissues.  In some cases cancer cells spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems.  There are more than 100 types of cancer which can all be split into broader categories including:  Carcinoma,  Sarcoma,  Leukemia,  Lymphoma and Myeloma,  and Central Nervous System Cancers.  Cancer is a life threateing disease and is very dangerous.  Many people who develop cancer (depending upon the stage and type) go through chemo treatments which causes them to become sick and on top of that hair loss.  The hair loss for some can cause insecurities which can also be troublesome.


Many people I am close to have had to deal with cancer or is currently dealing with cancer,  one person in particular is a close friend of mine who has both breast cancer and lung caner.  Unfortantly she recently suffered from a stroak on top of the cancer is healing in a recovery unit.  Because the stroke left her unable to speak or read I took a special little book to her and read some of it to her.  The book is called Mirror Makeovers and savvy insights for the everyday gal surviving cancer and baldness with a sense of humor.  


This binder like bound hardback book features a bald woman looking into the mirror and the refelection in the mirror is that of a woman with pretty blond hair.  Basically the book helps those who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy to be able to remember to laugh.  She speaks about her own struggles and stories with hair loss due to cancer treatment.  She also teaches you how to do a mirror makeover.  


Okay so each book comes with a small plastic case of three markers(orange, pink,  and blue).  The book also includes ideas for different mirror makeovers such as "The Sandra Dee",  "The Medusa",  and even accessories.  The idea of a mirror makeover is give yourself a makeover by drawing on hair and accessories on your mirror to fit your mood and help cheer yourself up.  Because while dealing with cancer it can be easy to become depressed and sulk but it is a lot harder to find humor or even be cheerful.  


I must say the book put a smile on my friends face and although she isnt able to give herself a mirror makeover yet I am sure she will just as soon as she is able to begin walking again.

What does SABRE Pepper Spray do?   SABRE Pepper spray has various effects depending upong the formula.  You see major capsaicinoids is what makes your oc spray hot so the more the spray contains the more effective it will work.  And how will it work you may be wondering.  It works by delivering pain,  irritation,  Inflammation,  Coughing,  Redness of Skin,  and Temporary Blindness.  It provides you with enough time to escape your attacker,  while getting away from an unsafe situation. 

SABRE was kind enough to send me three of their products along with two practice dispensers.  Sabre Defense Spray allows you to dispense it from a safe distance, even the smallest SABRE keychain dispenser lets you spray it ten feet!  I have never owned any type of pepper spray until now and I must say I do feel a lot more safe while carrying it.  Even though pepper spray requires no training it's nice to be able to practice with the practise canisters.  I took them outside and sprayed a few targets and let's just say I was right on target!

I also received two products from their breast cancer line of products which are all decorated in of course, Pink which just so happens to be my favorite color!  I have seen lots of breast cancer awareness products,  but this is the first time I have ever seen breast cancer Pepper Spray.  For every PINK PEPPER SPRAY unit sold through SABRE RED,  they will make a donation to the NBCF. I received a Pink Pepper Spray Keychain with detatchable keychain and a Pink Pepper Spray Keychain. 


Each Pink Pepper Spray Keychain contains approximately 25 shots and has an effective range of ten feet.  It is compact and easy to carry in your purse so you can take it with you wherever you go.  They provide a ballistic stream which helps reduce wind blow back.  I love the pink packaging and the fact that it helps towards fighting breast cancer.  You can purchase the Pink Pepper Spray Keychain with Detachable Keychain for $10.00,  or the Pink Pepper Spray Keychain for only $7.99.  They also offer six other awesome pink Pepper Spray.
