I was hoping to do a wrap up post about being over at The Colorado State Capitol for the proclamation of today as Go Red for Women day but that is not going to happen. My sitter/dad did not show up this morning to watch the boys so I had to skip it (I blame mercury retrograde BTW). There are brilliant images everywhere on social media follow #wearredday.
Heart disease is the #1 killer of women in America. Many proactive things can be done to remove this from the top spot by knowing where our health is at and then improving it. For more information on this campaign go the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women website.
You may notice a lot of people and buildings done up in red today because this is not a cause relegated to hospitals. This is an issue our larger society is tackling and in a fun way the idea that health is fashionable is becoming prominent with Macy’s as the big AHA partner on this campaign.
One trendy company I like is even in on the action for a second year. The people at SpaWeek are doing their second Heart over Heels Giveaway for an iconic pair of Christian Louboutin Simple Pumps. I am not big on pimping out other giveaways but I like that for every vote 25 cents is donated to the AHA. The giveaway ends 17 March.
I also like SpaWeek in general because they sell gift cards year-round but during SpaWeek itself you can find discounted spa treatments at some of the best spas in your area. If you know anything about me then you know I am about the self-love and deserved pampering.
