Happy October! It's breast cancer month, which means pink products are everywhere in Boston. OK, so I know that's not the point of breast cancer month. BUT, if I'm going to be shopping anyway, I may as well buy my favorite color and support an amazingly good cause, right? I hate breast cancer, but I love pink. Never before have two of my passions gone so well with each other!
Pink KitchenAid Mixer
This pink Kitchen Aid mixer is pretty much my dream come true. I’ve wanted it forever and won’t be fully happy until I have it. My mom argues with me that any colored kitchen appliance isn’t a good idea. She thinks white is the way to go when it comes to appliances because they will match with any kitchen I happen to move into. I disagree. And want the pink. And come on, it supports breast cancer research. How can you really argue with that??
Look, mom! Now those of us who love pink, but don’t want to compromise our matching kitchen, can purchase the white KitchenAid with discrete pink stripe. It’s still super cute and it still supports breast cancer research. I’m loving it.
Williams-Sonoma
100 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA 02116
William Sonoma is one of my favorite stores in the land. Why? See above. I cook and bake like a crazy person, so I’m obviously in love with everything in this store. It can be pricey, but one day I’ll be able to afford it all!

Bloomingdales Umbrella
This umbrella is totally adorable and I would carry it around even if it wasn’t supporting a cause.
Dawn Dish Soap
Ummm why have I never seen this before? I’m washing dishes all the time anyway; I may as well be washing it with pink dish soap! I especially love that it’s Dawn. I really only like Dawn dish soap and it’s original scent (like the blue!), which is also the only kind I really like. That gets Yays all around!
Cvs Pharmacy
340 Washington St, Boston, MA 02108
I usually buy my Dawn dish soap at CVS because there’s literally one on every single street corner in Boston.

Pink Product Scam?
This article claims: “Companies have figured out that if you slap a pink ribbon on a product, people will buy it…It’s time to look past the ribbon and ask, ‘Where is the money going?’”
Good thought, but I’d probably buy the pink products no matter what. BUT you should definitely learn where your money is going!
Edible Arrangements
Um, yum? Strawberries dipped in pink chocolate? Yes please. Any chocolate covered strawberry is a pretty one in my opinion, but these ones are especially beautiful. I would LOVE to get one of these in the mail. Hint hint.
Edible Arrangements
256 Washington St, Brookline, MA 02445
I walk by this place all the time and am tempted to just go in and purchase an edible arrangement for myself. But I’m pretty sure that’s not how it’s supposed to work. So I just sit here and wait for someone to send one to me. La la la…

Pink Pilates
I’m not really sure how a Pilates DVD goes “pink,” but I like Pilates, I love Shape magazine, and I love pink, so it’s more than fine with me. Plus, the DVD comes with a free pink resistance band. Woot!
Pink Estee Lauder Makeup
How can you not love all this pretty pink makeup? Pink is my favorite color when it comes to lipglosses (and um, everything else), so I really, really love these. Yay for Estee Lauder supporting the fight against breast cancer and making really pretty products!
Mac Macys Boston
450 Washington St, Boston, MA 02111
Macy’s is one of my favorite stores ever. I love their clothing, purses, and shoes; but they always have a fabulous makeup selection too!

Pink Ribbon Bagel at Panera
A bagel shaped like a ribbon?? Fine with me. I mean, I already love bagels anyway, but sometimes I do need a bit of a push to buy them. They’re not that fabulous for me, especially when I pack on the cream cheese. But if I’m helping find a cure for breast cancer, then I’d be happy to sacrifice a bit of my personal health for the wellnes of others. Aww aren’t I nice?
Panera Bread
200 High St Lbby 3, Boston, MA 02110
Panera supports the fight against beast cancer! I think their ribbon shaped bagel is adorable and a nice change from a regular shaped bagel anyway. Of course, you might be doing much of the donating since the price of this bagel is a bit jacked, but it’s a nice thought. And like I said, adorable!

Love this location with their outdoor seating and fabulous people watching views.

Coach Key Fob
Come to think of it, I actually need a key chain and this one is adorable. I love all the cute pink hearts and again, it supports breast cancer research, so I probably should just do it up and go get one. It also probably supports me not losing my keys!
Coach Scarf
I also LOVE this scarf, that also supports breast cancer research. I don’t wear/use scarves so I have no idea what I’d do with it. But it is adorable, pink, and lovely!
Coach
100 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA 02116
I’m actually not the biggest fan of Coach stores, especially this one. The employees are super rude. And Coach is sooo high school. But some of their stuff is super nice and high-quality, so I don’t look down upon it all. And I really am in love with the key fob and commend Coach for supporting the cause.

Viva La Cure by Juicy Couture
I don’t think this shirt is very cute at all. But it’s supporting the cause, so I might purchase it. And never wear it. Plus, it’s only $35, which is super cheap by Juicy Couture standards.
Juicy Couture
12 Newbury St, Boston, MA 02116
I enjoy a nice Juicy sweatsuit now and then and while they have some cute stuff, they’re not my favorite store. I think it has something to do with the plethora of middle/high schoolers who become obsessed with Juicy at a young age. They ruin the whole name for me and I often think of Juicy as child’s play.

Philosophy Shower Gel
I’m a huge lover of Philosophy products. Most of them smell absolutely amazing and I’m very curious to see how this one smells. Philosophy supports tons of great organizations, so yay to them for supporting yet another!
Sephora
800 Boylston St Ste 107, Boston, MA 02199
Oh Sephora, you are my wonderland. I am in heaven when I am near you and I want to stay by you forever. Seriously though, if you’ve never been to Sephora, GO!! Any makeup, cosmetic, perfume, bath product, etc. that you need can be found here. Love it.

Pink Scrabble
I’m a scrabble playing kind of girl. I love just hanging out and challenging a few of my favorite people to just try and beat me. But how much more fun would Scrabble be if your game board and everything else was pink?? I know I’d love it. But I’m not sure how many males I could convince to play with me. That’s OK, they can’t take the defeat anyway.
Toys R US
66 Northgate Shopping C, Revere, MA 02151
I haven’t been to a Toys R US in forever, but if they’re anything like they used to be, I would love to go back as soon as possible. Not a huge fan of the Revere location, but for toys? I’ll deal with it.
