One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. Shocking isn’t it? So, with October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month you can expect a few entries on Beauty Notes Daily over the next few weeks on this very subject.

First up: Avon. Avon are the world’s largest supporter of the breast cancer cause and this year they want you to join its Breast Cancer Care Bake Off. Here’s what you do: Simply buy Avon’s Breast Cancer Crusade Baking Set (it’s only £5 and £1.25 of each sale is donated to Breakthrough Breast Cancer and all remaining profits are donated to not-for-profit projects), and then get baking. The set consists of a pink ribbon and heart shaped cutter together with six silicone cupcake holders. Bake up a storm and host yourself a bake sale with proceeds donated to Breakthrough Breast Cancer. It’s a great excuse for indulging your sweet tooth - after all, it’s for Charity.
