Hello lovelies,
last week I went to an event invited by Beautynesia and Starbucks to share an important messages on Breast Cancer.
As we all perhaps know, October is all about breast cancer awareness, so many brands and even Starbucks participate to help distribute the news and share some necessary information. Start from spreading the news on breast cancer, be aware of the matter.
-*-
Start from how detect breast cancer from the early signs to how to do the self check. I have feature a lot of the detailed information on my instagram stories during the day of the event.
Do googled up for how to by following #PinkVoice on their social medias such as facebook and instagram. There are a few method but all involved doing it once a month, knowing and figuring out your own breast by the shape and everything in it. From the firmness to the nipples.
-*-
Meanwhile, Starbucks helps by selling special drinks that will eventually be donated to Love Pink. Here are the details:
-*-
The first drink that I ordered is Pink Blossom Frappuccino, since I was lactose intolerant, the staff gladly offered me soy milk in return.
The drink was made in a jiffy and looks super cute.
-*-
The drink is super sweet, too sweet to my taste but refreshing. It's something that perhaps not a Starbucks signature aside from their green tea matcha but it's something that everyone can enjoy. No coffee involved.

Here are more details on the event and products:

So there's two coffee drinks and 2 not. For me, Pink Macchiato is the one. The coffee is delicious, it has the right components and sweetness too.
-*-
All the bloggers have a chance to try some of the drinks, and I requested another one which is Pink Yogurt Frappuccino. A sweet and sour delight that perfect for summer time, since Jakarta is always summer, the drink is always right.
-*-
Last but not least, here is my favorite part of the event, the myths buster of breast cancer, these things doesn't cause breast cancer (or at least haven't been found medically related):
1. Using wired bra.
2. Deodorants.
3. Caffeine.
4. Getting mammogram.
5. Only women can have breast cancer.
6. Have to be hereditary.
6. Have to be hereditary.
And many others, like getting a breast implants, etc. Do check out from www.health.com as well as we need to be calm and not overly dramatic.
Alert but not overly dramatic ^_^

Thank you so much Starbucks and Beautynesia for inviting me and for sure Love Pink for all the brightening details plus support. They also offer friendship, gatherings, and sharing one to another. Bottomline, it's a support group for breast cancer warriors and survivors.
If you happen to suspect your condition, do visit a doctor, I do happen to know one who heldcp me with my issue, Dr. Alfiah Amiruddin (a breast specialist), she is at Mitra Kemayoran and RS Tarumanegara.
