Connie Johnson in memory of you

What a lady. Put up an incredible fight raising awareness and launching a very successful campaign, 
RIP Connie love your sister. 
#loveyoursister #conniejohnson #charity #awareness #checkbreasts 
Her death was announced a day after she received one of the nation's highest honours.
Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove dropped by Connie's bed at a Canberra hospice on Thursday to award the mother-of-two a Medal of the Order of Australia in recognition of her tireless work for others battling breast cancer.
Connie Johnson, the founder of the Love Your Sister cancer charity, has died.
Her brother Samuel Johnson confirmed that Connie died on Friday evening in a Canberra hospice on the charity's Facebook page.
Connie was diagnosed with terminal cancer seven years ago.
"She went so richly and with such grace. Trust me, she was genuinely cushioned by your love, till the end," her brother wrote.
"It was so beautiful. We laughed, we cried, we sang stupid songs from our childhood to her, which she loved (mostly!). I read her so many village messages, which she relished."
At the age of 11 Connie was diagnosed with a bone tumour in her leg and a decade later cancer was found in her womb.
She leaves behind a husband, two sons and a community of people who are determined to eradicate the disease.
On the day she died Sam again asked all women to check their breasts, saying: "If they can check them on the night that she dies, she'll be very happy".

"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...

Monumental cleavage alert! Did Natalie Portman get a boob job?

Black Swan Oscar winner Natalie Portman has sparked feverish debate about whether or not she's had a boob job, after she appeared on camera at an American football game looking bustier than before. The 31-year-old, who gave birth to son Aleph in June 2011, was watching the game in Austin, Texas during a break from shooting the as-yet-untitled new Terrence Malick film. With co-star Michael Fassbender by her side, a newly blonde Natalie was spotted by the cameras during the ABC broadcast. While it could very well be a push-up bra, or a consequence of breast-feeding her bub, Twitter fans immediately speculated about the star's potentially enhanced assets. "Natalie Portman @ the Texas-Baylor game ... boob job? Looks like it!" one user wrote. "Wait a second, did Natalie Portman get a boob job? Is she pregnant? On the sidelines of Texas game and #wow," another tweeted. Comments on the YouTube clip ran along the same lines, albeit many of them ...
