From now through the end of October, everyone will have the opportunity to show that they’re taking a stand against breast cancer AND raise money for the cause by going to http://www.oneaday.com/takeastand/, and creating a customizable character in honor of someone special. The program goal is to urge women to start taking the simple steps to support their breast health, and offers tips on how and what to do.
In addition, for each character created, One A Day will make a donation to an donation to a breast cancer cause selected by consumers. The organizations that will be included are: The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, the American Cancer Society and Breast Cancer Network of Strength.
Check out the above widget, it’s fun to join the virtual march. Anyone can create a character and you can even upload a photo straight from Facebook! Help a good cause and spread the word about this campaign.
Home decorating can be a daunting task – from determining color palettes and wall hangings to appropriately mixing and matching older pieces with new, it’s easy to get overwhelmed! It’s for this reason that Deborah Needleman, founding editor of Domino Magazine, created the HomeGoods StyleScope, a simple interactive tool that provides a customized style (like Bohemian Classic, Earthy Modern or Dramatic Eclectic) as well as tips to put that style to use.
The StyleScope, which lives online at http://www.homegoods.com/index.asp, is an invaluable tool for those who want to find their own style, and escape from the overly prescriptive home décor options of major stores. Everyone needs a bed, a sofa, a table, but it’s that last 10% that really turns a house into a home – this quick online quiz is designed to help all of us (myself included!) who love stylish home décor but don’t know how to incorporate specific trends or styles into our own homes.
Additionally, to make this a little sweeter, especially in our current economic climate, for the remainder of the summer, those who take the HomeGoods StyleScope can enter for a chance to win a weekly $5,000 shopping spree or a daily gift card giveaway to HomeGoods. If you’re new to the brand, HomeGoods truly has something for everyone – at prices 20-60% less than department or specialty stores. Providing in-season top quality designer and brand name home fashions and accessories, including unique, one-of-a-kind pieces for every style and every room in the house, it’s easy to decorate in your style at HomeGoods.
