BREAST CANCER MONTH: DAY 12

Tweezerman tweezers are by far THE BEST TWEEZERS in the whole, wide, entire, ginormous universe.  They are amazing.  They are even more amazing in Breast Cancer Awareness versions.  I don't own one, of course I own three - even though they have a lifetime guarantee.

BREAST CANCER MONTH: DAY 11

Today's breast cancer awareness item is not actually tangible but something I seriously love.  When I first came to BYU, I decided to start summer term so I moved to Provo 2 weeks after high school.  The first person I met was Ashton Y. Epps.  We (along with Jessica) fell in tender sweet roommate love and I still love her hard core to this day - except now she is Ashton E. Swank.  Ashton is the fabulous woman behind Something Swanky.  She is an expert dessert maker, dessert blogger, and blog designer.  She called me a couple of months ago to inform me that my blog needed a makeover and she needed my username and password.  I, without any hesitation, gave her this information and she created the gorgeous breast cancer blog design you see right now.  Thank you Ashton!

BREAST CANCER MONTH: DAY 10

I really enjoy tennis but I am not talented in it (just ask Hannah Watkins, Jessica Foust, or my BYU tennis class).  My grandmother was however, a wonderful tennis player.  I only remember playing with her once but I remember her always talking about it.  Most of the Bennett clan learned the art of tennis from my great-grandpa whom grammy always effectionately referred to as, "daddy." With that being said, this is of course my tennis gear:

bag, racket, cover, balls = all BC awareness

BREAST CANCER MONTH: DAY 9

Ahhh, nothing like bringing together two of my loves - Breast Cancer Awareness month and nail polish.  OPI has done a fantastic job every year making a uniquely pink color their breast cancer awareness nail polish color choice.  Essie has gotten on board as well.  Almost as cute as the colors are the names(from left to right): Pink Shatter, Raise Awareness, I Think in Pink, and Pink of Hearts. I also have the greatest crystal nail polish on earth that just so happens to be for BC awareness as well!

BREAST CANCER MONTH: DAY 8

Target has NINE different breast cancer locks in stores right now!  With so many options to choose from - number combination, letter combination, locks with a key, size, price, etc - it was extremely hard to choose but I went with the following:


I by no means need a lock but I did need a breast cancer lock.

BREAST CANCER MONTH: DAY 7

So my dentist is amazing.  He has figured out the issue behind my cavity-fest.  Every year I usually get 4-6 cavities but yet I am an avid brusher.  I love a clean mouth!  One thing the dentist asked me to avoid was soda.  I really don't drink much but sometimes a teacher needs a Diet Coke to get through the day.  Now you might be wondering how this all fits into breast cancer awareness.  Well I only drink water now and because of that I have expanded my collection of water bottles.  I drove to Lake Powell today and had to have two water cups with me so when one ran out, I was fully prepared.  So with all of this, I busted out my BC Brita. I usually keep this one on display because it is so cute but now it must be utilized.

BREAST CANCER MONTH: DAY 6

The Second Annual General Conference Priesthood Cemetery Session.  Grammy died during the priesthood session of conference and last year we sat at her grave and told stories and looked at pictures of her life.  This year was part two.  It was wonderful and freezing.

Momma took this picture of Nikki, Jen (and Alice), Cousin, Auntie, and me at the cemetery

What a great day.

BREAST CANCER MONTH: DAY 5

This is an example of some of the weird items that come in what I call a "breast cancer version." 

This is a glasses kit.  Comes with a cleaning spray that says "Think Pink Lens Cleaner," a pink cleaning rag, and a little tiny pink screw driver.  Adorable and darling but very practical.

BREAST CANCER MONTH: DAY 4

As a teacher, I absolutely LOVE office supplies.  Even more so, I love BC office supplies.  I have a plethora of office supplies at school - to come later - but these are some "staples" of my home supplies.

I have about 309,917 different BC notepads/post it sets
