Handmade for a Cure

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. This month really hits home for me since my grandma is a Breast Cancer Survivor (High 5 nana!)

I know there are people out there that are not as lucky as me and know loved ones who unfortunately could not beat this battle.

I was trying to think what I could do to help. So for the month of october I am selling this limited edition 5x7 print in my shop. 30% of all profits from this print will go to the Susan G. Komen foundation to help aid them in finding a cure for this disease.

 I Totally Got This 5x7 Print by Yellow Heart Art

I wanted the print to be an inspiring saying so that everyone can enjoy it while still donating to the cause. The saying "I totally got this" can be taken many ways. Maybe you are a breast cancer survivor yourself and you found yourself telling everyone "Oh guys, I totally got this". Or maybe you're a new mom introduced to motherhood, and while looking at your new little baby you're thinking to yourself "ok, I'm really scared, I'm really petrified, but I totally got this". Or maybe someone like me who is thrown into having my first "real" place on my own and in the middle of unpacking and swimming in a sea of bills (and bills and bills and bills) I stop, take a deep breath, count to 10 and say to myself "Self, you totally got this--now MAN UP WOMAN".

I really need to work on little pep talks to myself…

Also my friend Melis from Mila Rose Designs is participating in Breast Cancer Awareness Month as well! Her campaign is "Buy A Band, Save A Boob" (ha, doncha love her?) Here is her promo:
1) 10% of every order will be donated to Susan G. Komen to help find a cure for breast cancer!
2) Use code PRETTYINPINK for free shiping all month long!!!
3) If you spend $100, not only is $10 of that going to help save lives, but you will also get a free headband!!!!"

Trust me, if you have been stalking eyeing a Mila Rose Lovely NOW is the time to buy it. I don't know what more of an incentive you need rather than helping an AMAZING cause, free shipping, and potentially scoring ANOTHER Mila Rose Headband with any purchase of $100 and over! Check out some of her pretty swag.

Thank you to those who have already purchased my print! Let's find a cure!

Mila Rose Designs Gets New Branding! (by moi!)

I absolutely adore Melis from Mila Rose Designs.

and I absolutely adore all things that are created with the color combo gray and yellow. Like oooOoOOo I don't know this beaut below...

I stalked this headband for-frekkin-evah. I added it to my faves. I would go to it at least 5 times a day and just stare at it longingly and imagine that it was in my hair and not Melis' (no offense girl you totally rock it and all but it needed to live on my head stat)

so I contacted Melis and she agreed to a trade! (holla!)

I got said headband, and I revamped her current branding!

aaaaand cue logo now:

...didja notice that the silhouette in her logo is actually HER?! HA! how fun is that? I love how it shows off Melis' personality AND her product of fun lil fluffy flower goodness.

aaaand cue etsy banner now:

Melis and I both agreed that adding her signature "fluff" to her etsy shop banner added the right amount of "girly" and "fun" to her brand.

In case you were wondering, yes her tagline "be pretty" rings true for her shop. Check out Melis' signature looks below!

The Mini (pssttt this is the image I used to make Melis' logo!)

She even makes gorgeous cowls for those cold winter days that are slowly creepin' up on us!
