Think Pink in Cherry Creek
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month in October, we’d like to highlight the healthy, the happy and the pink in Cherry Creek North. Although we love the finer things in life, there’s more to us than designer stilettos and velvety lipstick. Fitness, wellness, and eating well rank right up there with fashion.

Fitness

Run from Cancer
Did you know that according to the American Cancer Society, exercise can prevent cancer? Whether you’re racing for the cure or just staying in shape, you will find everything you need at Lululemon Athletica at 3000 E. Third Ave. This is one place that makes spandex fashionable. Lululemon Athletica offers a full range of resistance tank tops, shorts, cropped pants, hats and hoodies to keep you comfortable all the way across the finish line.

Rx Round-up

	Best Breast Care Certain herbs and nutrients improve estrogen health, quality of life and mammograms. Estro Smart creates these important shifts in estrogen balance and is available at The Get Well Store, 255 Detroit St., a naturopathic medical practice. Carrie Louise Daenell, ND, naturopathic doctor, co-authored Better Breast Health for Life! Dr. Daenell has appeared on the PBS shows The Doctor Show and Healing Quest hosted by Olivia Newton John. Check out the Get Well Store’s multiple services for your good health.
	Relaxation to Envy Stress can weaken the immune system, which causes the body to be more susceptible to disease. That’s why we suggest you let all your tensions melt away at Massage Envy at 201 Steele St., Unit 1-A. Take it easy and indulge in a hot stone, reflexology, deep tissue or Swedish massage. Massage Envy supports our common goal of cancer awareness and prevention. Last Month, Massage Envy raised $466,000 nationally for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
	Give ’Em Something to Smile About Breast cancer mortality rates have dropped more than 2% each year since 1990, a 30% reduction, according to Breast Cancer Facts & Figures 2009-2010. That is something to smile about. For the brightest possible, head to Brite Smile at 231 Detroit St. where Dr. Nicolette Picerno, double American Board Certified facial plastic surgeon and ENT, is the medical director. Smooth away frowns and wrinkles with BOTOX and filler injections, laser treatments and cellulite reduction treatments.

Retail Fix

	Put ‘Em Up The Tuff Glove Necklace is a sterling silver pair of boxing glove charms. Ignite the fight within a woman with a battle ahead or reward a loved one with this charm as a medal of her victory. Ten percent of each sale goes to the “What A Pair” foundation to benefit Cancer Research. Find them at Elizabeth Lindsay Creations at 3033 E. Third Ave. Designer Elizabeth Lindsay donated 100% of the profits to the Breast Cancer Fund from the sale of her Mary Cleves Pin and Pendant/The Breast Cancer Fund in San Francisco, and also designed the 10-year commemorative pin for Race for the Cure in 1999.
	Give your support SOL supports women all October long. TheSOL... at 248 Detroit St. will accept donations of gently-warn bras to donate to The Gathering Place, Denver’s drop-in center for women and children experiencing homelessness or poverty. Not only does SOL offer private, tailored in-store bra fittings, but they offer the same personal fitting service to recipients at The Gathering Place. Come by the store in Cherry Creek North for this month’s Trick or Treat raffle; a $10 raffle ticket enters you to win one of three bra and panty sets and 100% of raffle proceeds go toward new bras for The Gathering Place.
	Wig Out If you are after a style for an everyday wig or you want to change your style with your mood, Wigs Today at 3000 E. 3rd Ave., Unit 35 can help. They offer the largest selection of both synthetic and human hair wigs in Colorado. Schedule a private consultation by calling 303-333-9447.
	White House. Black Market. Pink Style The latest arrival at White House Black Market, 180 Clayton Lane, is the Give Hope Jean, as seen in In Shape magazine. The black jeans have a discrete pink ribbon embroidered at the coin pocket and “Give Hope” inside the waistband. Net proceeds from the Give Hope Collection (up to $200,000) will be donated to Living Beyond Breast Cancer, a non-profit organization that “empowers women to live as long as possible with the best quality of life.” Relaxed fit, bootcut, these jeans sit just perfectly below the waist for maximum comfort, and feature cheetah-print lined pockets just for fun. The Give Hope collection also features a watch, key ring and T-shirt.

Eating Well

In-grained Tribute to Pink
The Pink Ribbon Bagel is on the menu all month at Panera Bread at 240 Milwaukee St. Baked goodness of cherry chips, dried cherries and cranberries, vanilla, honey and brown sugar make this the perfect (and delectable) demonstration of pink pride. The Pink Ribbon Bagel has been raising breast cancer awareness since 2001. Plus, it’s great with honey walnut cream cheese.

A Toast to a Good Day
Every good day counts and a good day begins with a good breakfast. Toast Fine Food & Coffee, the newest neighborhood eatery at 222 Columbine St., may have a white-bread name, but it offers a flavorful menu of breakfast and lunch served all day spanning healthy fare to comfort food. May we suggest the award-winning cheesecake pancakes?
