October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month: a cause that Adore Me has always held very close to our hearts. In fact, breast cancer awareness is something we advocate for every single month of the year — so we’re proud to partner with the American Cancer Society as a Flagship Sponsor for the 5th year in a row! The American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a celebration of courage, hope, and is a movement uniting communities to end breast cancer as we know it — and our team is so excited and proud to partner with such an impactful organization.

How to Perform a Self-Breast Exam
Step 1: Take a look at your breasts in a mirror with your arms at your sides. Then, with your arms over your head, visually inspect them for any irregular changes.
Step 2: Put your hands firmly on your hips and flex your chest muscles. Check for swelling, dimpling, discharge, or discoloration.
Step 3: Lie down on a pillow on a flat surface. Put your pillow under your right shoulder, and put your right arm behind your head. With your left hand, make small circular motions covering your entire left breast and armpit area. Check for any unusual lumps, bumps, or dimples—and be sure to use light, medium, and firm pressure. Lastly, gently squeeze your nipple to check for any discharge
Step 4: Repeat process on your right breast.
Don’t forget! It is very important for women to be aware of how their breasts normally look and feel and to report any changes to a health care provider right away. This is especially important if you notice a breast change at some point in between your regular mammograms. The best test is the test that gets done — get your breast screening today!
