PINK TREATS to Support Breast Cancer Awareness

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this cause runs close to home. On average, 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer. I have close family members who have fought this battle. This year, I am spreading awareness and asking my female friends to make sure they check themselves! To encourage other women near me, I am giving homemade popcorn in these beautiful 5 Mil Stand Up Pouches Pink & Clear from PackFreshUSA, with a note of love and reminder. Not only are these bags great quality, but they are PINK! A perfect companion and present as we share and remind moms, daughters, grandmothers, friends, sisters, neighbors, and ourselves to check our breasts. From my heart to all the women in the world, let's check!
