Every October, companies release products in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Now, pink-washing (making products pink in the name of Breast Cancer awareness) can be a dangerous trend as we have seen in previous years and even recently. But here at BUST we have complied a list of fun items to purchase to look good and feel good. Why feel good? Our list donates 100% (yes, you read that right) of the proceeds to cancer awareness and research.

Stella & Dot’s Strength Bracelet is inspired by the power and loyalty of the elephant. 100% of the proceeds through October benefit the Noreen Fraser Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to cancer research. ($39 www.stelladot.com)
