Did you know there is no known early prediction test for ovarian cancer?


Did you know that every ten hours, one woman dies from ovarian cancer?


Did you know that ovarian cancer is often diagnosed in its late stages and only 20%-30% of women will survive beyond five years of diagnosis?


Now did you know, survival rates increase to 80-100% when ovarian cancer is detected and treated early?


Not trying to sound completely like an infomercial but as a woman that is really scary especially when my mother died of cancer in the woman's reproductive system. The Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation in Australia gave a new way to raise money to find a early prediction test for ovarian cancer.It just takes a girl, or even a man! to vow to wear a frock (dress) everyday in October and have friends/families/strangers to donate in behalf of your goal!


I am just about half way through the month and these are all my frocks so far! and please go donate on behalf of me, or anyone really!

Hocus Pocus

With Halloween fastly approaching I decided to post some Halloween costume ideas for those ballin on a budget!

My first outfit idea is Dorothy from Wizard of Oz

This costume cost me roughly about 30 dollars. Most of it I had (the wig, picnic basket, and the dog =] )
Obviously if you have longer hair you will not need a wig, Since I wear higher quality wigs already, I used one of them besides getting another one, but if you have shorter hair, and don't want to spend money on a wig, even though you can find them cheap at like Walmart, or the dollar store, you could go as punk rock Dorothy, or the new running theme as zombie Dorothy.

Dress- Forever 21

Shirt- Miley Cyrus for Walmart

Shoes- plain red flats from Walmart $6!

Picnic Basket- laying around my shed

Dog- the one and only Zoe bug

When did Halloween costumes become just about sex and not creepy, odd or scary or creative costumes? ....Being a princess is one thing but there is nothing royal about being a hoochie mama! They have sexy to go box costumes! I feel that Halloween should be brought back to old school ideas, when people actually couldn't afford stuff like that, and had to make it, and ultimately made the costume ten times cooler!

I think my Toto needs to go on a diet!

What are you going as this Halloween?
