Everywhere I turn I see pink products being marketed for "Breast Cancer Awareness", but how much of our money is really going to the cause? Many products only say they will donate a "portion" of the proceeds but what I want to know is how much?!?!? I found this very helpful website, Think Before You Pink, that provides tips on how to Pink wisely. I am a pink freak and have always loved buying all the cute pink products even though I don't use them, I just figure it's better than not buying it right? Seriously though, I have the pink Kitchenaid mixer plus set of matching mixing bowls and spoons that I never use as I do not bake. (it does looks really cute in my kitchen but I probably should have sent them a check for $400!) There is half a dozen other Pink for the Cure products that I don't use but again, I bought them for the sake of charity but in retrospect a check would have been put to better use. I do have one pink item I use all the time, the pink Japanese ceramic knife- the best pink product I ever bought, I use it several times a day and it is the sharpest and lightest knife ever! This year I will definitely think before I pink. I will also be sending a check straight to the Susan G. Komen Foundation because that just seems like the most effective way to help. What about you, buy pink or donate direct or a little of both like me?
