My Zany Years Spent Working in Tinsel Town
#DailyNugget
I went to my girl’s Fit-Palooza event to benefit FORCE: Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered because that’s the kinda guy I am. I show up.
They raised more than planned, which was great.
But this THING Ms. Cheevious teaches? This (insert sarcastic voice) pilates she teaches? I work out five days a week, but this? This is PAIN.
In a good way.
PFFFF!!!

I’m actually an excellent driver all the time. And Rain Man, Dustin Hoffman and his infamous character role aside… I am even more of an excellent driver with my brand new Breast Cancer Awareness Scarf. Doesn’t it totally look like a driving scarf? If I had goggles to pose with, I would have strapped those babies on so fast!
I LOVE this scarf, you guys! The fabric is really nice jersey and it’s a gorgeous color! They call it heather gray I think, but it sort of looks blueish green, don’t you think?
Anyway, I’m PSYCHED, and if you’d like to be psyched as well AND make an impact for Breast Cancer you can get your own scarf (in any one of nine different colors) for only $22.95 here. If the scarf isn’t your deal, then get the luggage tag. I talked about those already too, but I have pics in my boutique. You should check them out here.

#DailyMischief
I sometimes I think in September and October the blog gets bogged down with TOO MUCH of my fundraising. On one hand I must spread the word, and on the other hand, I am sure you get pissed off at the incessant prodding about my causes and will more than likely leave me. I know. Serious abandonment issues. Plus, I’m a little neurotic when it comes to you, my readers. You’ve been here for me through pretty much everything (pssst…. don’t leave me).
And I promise guys, I do try to keep things here on the blog light and separate from my fundraising efforts whenever possible, but my life is consumed these two months. So what else am I going to talk about? They happen to also be my two busiest months next to the holidays because – as you probably figured out – they are back-to-back cancer awareness months (Ovarian and Breast cancer, respectively).
So indulge me a little, and I promise to sprinkle the FUN in here and there too. Deal? The fundraising will be over after October!
Now here is what’s going on, as well as a WHAT WENT DOWN DURING LAST MONTH’S FUNDRAISER:
OVARIAN CANCER MONTH
In September (the teal month) I created a beautiful, affordable single charm bracelet, pictured here:
as well as a few other products (pins and magnets) that said “Do something to stop ovarian cancer.” I took my own icon for Ms. Cheevious
and adapted it into a teal image. All of the proceeds for that campaign went to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. We raised one dollar per item (that was my profit, believe it or not. I know. I need to find a better supplier because the money these companies are making off my hard work is downright ridiculous), and raised a total of $53.00.
Don’t spread the hate. I know it’s nothing huge to write home about, but I’m doing SOMETHING, which is more than I can say for the masses. I am quite happy with the results, considering I merely emailed it to you all and shared it on facebook and twitter. But guess what? You can still buy any of these SUPER AFFORDABLE items (you guys, we’re talking about buying yourself one less Cafe Latte in most cases), and we’ll save up the profits for next September as well. Here is the artwork that appears on the charm as well as the other items.

AND NOW IT’S TIME FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS
And for October, I’ve started selling two very cool items. I just ordered mine so unfortunately I’m unable to provide in-the-flesh modeling photos. You poor things.
And all of the proceeds for these benefit FORCE (Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered), the organization that supports those afflicted by hereditary breast & ovarian cancer. The links for each are below.
It’s $10.95 plus shipping & handling. I have this same tag, but it’s got my icon from above (in the regular “red”) as the artwork, and I absolutely LOVE IT. It’s SUPER sturdy, well-made and stands out at the luggage carousel!
The luggage tags can be purchased (it’s in stock and will ship in 3-5 days) here: http://www.zazzle.com/ms_cheevious_breast_cancer_awareness_tag_luggage_tag-256702722007252191
I’ve ordered mine in the dark gray (far right), but it’s available in nine different colors. It’s slightly sheer, but super long and pretty, and the writing and pink ribbon on it is small enough to be elegant, but large enough to make a statement. I’ve also made this item customizable, so you can add “In memory of______” to the scarf if you would like. It’s a fantastic item for fall and says it all – SAVE.THE.BOOBIES people.
This item is $22.95 plus shipping and handling. I’ll post a photo of me in mine just as SOON as it arrives. Get the scarves here: http://www.zazzle.com/ms_cheevious_hereditary_breastcancer_scarf-256814118370194079
That’s it people. I’m spent. I’ve pushed, I’ve prodded. It is now your turn to do some good. Show me what you can do.
I got my Ms. Cheevious “teal” charm bracelet today! I’m SUPER excited too because it will help to save lives (in its own little way). I was so excited I made THIS VIDEO below. Watching said video will enable you to “get” the my post title, but I will say this: #SaveTheOvaries #SaveTheWomen #SaveTheHumanRace
I’m happy that the video is TOTALLY fun, and encouraging… even though I am NOT very cool. Just watch and tell me what you think. I’ll owe you a piece of chocolate cake at least. Watching it is worth a piece of cake for sure.
It doesn’t matter what you name it. It’s TEAL. It’s Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month – a very important cause.
Pay attention. Do some good for the cause.
