I think it’s wonderful that this entire month is dedicated to breast cancer awareness. Everywhere I look I see pink. There are so many things we buy all the time that are now donating proceeds to the Susan G. Komen foundation. Even the NFL is getting in on the campaign with pink cleats, wrist bands [...]
Looking for a link to a publication a former colleague works for, I went to the New Haven Register’s website earlier today. It’s a site that I used to check faithfully on a daily basis, since I was a reporter for the newspaper for five years. These days though, I pop in now and again [...]
Years ago, I was sitting in my unusually large newsroom cubicle, sick as a dog. It was the works: running nose, no appetite, coughing, etc. My friend dropped by my desk and tossed a pack of drink mix at me (from a safe distance, of course). “Drink that. You’ll get better a lot faster,” she [...]
Thank you to all our readers for following along as we highlighted a variety of items that give back to breast cancer research. Our think pink theme is something close to both Cate’s heart and my own. And I do truly hope that if you are a woman, you are doing the right thing and [...]

Truly the best inventions are born out of need. Someone gets frustrated because there isn’t a better way to do something … and they set about remedying the situation themselves, creating a “Why didn’t I think of that moment?” for the rest of us. Such is the case behind Chrissie Thompson and her [...]
Just Be is a line of shirts that let wearers express their individual perspectives. The phrases are decoratively designed and include “Be Scrapbooking,” “Be Green,” and “Be Punk.” Some shirts are made with organic cotton and water based inks for an earth-friendly twist.
In honor of breast cancer awareness, the company created a line of three [...]
I heard about Sea Bags simply eons ago. No surprise since the company is fast approaching their tenth anniversary. These very eco-friendly, but very chic, bags are made from recycled boat sails. Seriously. How cool is that? The sails have gone around the world before they land in your hands. Love that. It’s fun to [...]
Artemis Woman co-founder was just 30-years-old when she found out she had breast cancer. At the time, she was breastfeeding her newborn child. The mother of two has since made a full recovery and is a nine-year survivor. Since last year, her company has made the Pink Heel Smoother, as a vehicle for donating profits [...]
