For Archipelago, a high-end candle and skincare company whose executive staff is mainly comprised of women, the reason to support breast cancer was easy, “You don’t have to look very far to find somebody whose life has been affected by breast cancer,” says Archipelago Founder David Klass. “My own mother was diagnosed, treated and is now very active in the fight. My father-in-law passed away from it; like most guys, he didn’t even know that men could get it. As the father of two girls and the owner of company employing mostly women – it gets personal.”

So when the women of Archipelago wanted to join the fight, the founders were completely on board with developing a project that would get Archipelago active in the cause; Ribbons of Love Diffuser was created with 40% of the net profits going to City of Hope. Collectively the name, exclusive fragrance and special decorative diffuser bottle reflect the dedicated love and support by the entire Archipelago family – those who have been touched by the disease and inspired to help the cause.

The end result is amazing. The fragrance is beautiful, a blend of Pink Grapefruit, Clementine and Pomelo. And it looks gorgeous on my bathroom vanity.

Ribbons of Love Diffuser retails for $50 and is available where Archipelago Botanicals is sold, including drugstore.com.

Conquering breast cancer is something to celebrate, and I am so thankful that more and more women are surviving breast cancer than ever before. And without having a full month dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness and even the year-long pink product and pink ribbon campaigns, we might not be celebrating this as much.

I hope you will join me and support Breast Cancer Awareness month by purchasing a pink product. I will be bringing you beauty suggestions all throughout the month, and hope you find something you like!
