Sharon Osbourne to front cancer campaign



Sharon Osbourne is fronting a "vital" breast cancer campaign just one year on from having a preventative double mastectomy.
The former X Factor judge, who suffered from colon cancer, has teamed up with her daughter Kelly for this year's Fashion Targets Breast Cancer campaign which launches on Monday.
The Osbourne duo will be joined on billboards nationwide by designer Pearl Lowe and her model daughter Daisy.
The famous mother and daughter pairings are urging the public to "Wear Your Support" and buy something from the campaign's collection.
Funds will be raised for Breakthrough Breast Cancer through the sale of specially designed products from high street shops.
Osbourne underwent a preventative double mastectomy after discovering she carried the BRCA gene which increases the risk of developing breast cancer by up to 85%, and said she wants people to "embrace" this campaign.
"Every year Fashion Targets Breast Cancer unites people for this vitally important cause, a cause that is particularly close to my heart. On discovering I carried the BRCA gene, having a double mastectomy just made sense to me - I want to ensure I'm there for my family for the future.
"I hope that everyone in the UK really embraces the campaign this year. I know only too well the importance of the research this campaign funds - it's vital that their scientists can keep making breakthroughs to improve the lives of women affected by the disease. So everyone please join in and wear your support," she said.
The fashion initiative, started by Ralph Lauren in 1994, has previously featured stars such as Kylie Minogue, Yasmin Le Bon and Kate Moss.
Retailers involved in designing pieces for this year's campaign include M&S, River Island, Warehouse, Topshop, Coast, Laura Ashley, my-wardrobe.com and Debenhams, with all pieces carrying a minimum 30% donation.

"Hard nipples" - areola or nipple skin

Someone once wrote"... when i get really cold, or get goosebumbs all over my body, the whole things really scrunch up, like, my entire areola scrunches itself up into a wrinkled little mound. it looks really weird and ugly, and i haven't ever seen other people's breasts do it. what is wrong with my areola/nipples??" The answer: Well nothing is wrong. This is what my areola does too. It's a normal reaction to the coldness or to irritation / stimulation. The little muscles in the areola do a similar goosebump thing as your other skin can do. People often call this phenomenon "hard nipples". Also note that skin on areola has less feeling or sensation to it than other areas of your body. If the areola was very sensitive, then breastfeeding would probably be quite uncomfortable because the baby pulls and tugs it! The nipples are sensitive but the sensitivity changes with hormonal changes, such as occur at mestrual cycle or pregnancy. Also this v...

Loosing a parent!

When a Parent Dies: Dealing with the Loss of Your Mother or Father By David Kessler This is spot on. I guess until you go through this you will never know.  #parents #love #grief #davidkessler #survivor #iamstillawoman  When a parent of an adult dies, there is almost an unspoken expectation that it will not hit you head on. An adult is expected to accept death as a part of life, to handle all sudden losses in an appropriate adult manner. But really, what does that mean? That you should not be sad? That you should be so grateful they didn’t die when you were a child that you don’t need to mourn your parent? The above considerations demonstrate an under-estimation of grief. Grief is the reflection of the connection that has been lost. That loss does not diminish because you are an adult or because your mother or father lived a long life. Our society places enormous pressure on us to get over loss, to get through the grief. But how long do you grieve for the man who...
