One thing that's definitely worth it

When I hear the words "because you're worth it", I think of so many things. I think of the advice I would give to any of my besties if some loser didn't realise how lucky he was to have them. I think of office afternoon tea when we happily convince each other we actually do really deserve that third cupcake. But one thing I wouldn't have thought of, until now, was being happy and healthy - something that we all deserve, but sadly aren't all lucky enough to be.

Over the last two years, L'Oreal Paris has been a proud partner of the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation and for good reason too.

Ovarian cancer takes the life of one woman every 10 hours. This is not okay. The real problem with ovarian cancer is that unlike most other forms of the disease, there is no early detection program.

This year, L'Oreal Paris are donating $100 000 to ovarian cancer research. Now, while I wish I could match that (and I'm sure you do too), the reality is that I can't, but I know every little contribution counts. To help making your donation that little bit more heart-warming, the lovely folk over at L'Oreal Paris have just released a limited edition 'Silver Ribbon' gift pack. Not only will you feel good about handing over the cash you would have spent on your fave beauty products anyway, you'll be restocking your beauty essentials, with the amazing Lash Architect 4D mascara, a Nutrishine by Colour Rich lip colour and an Infallible eye shadow - all for just $39.00, a saving of over 40%. All with the added benefit of knowing you're helping to potentially save the lives of the ladies around you. Snaps to you!

I think it's pretty safe to assume that I'm not the only one that longs for that new-mascara feel or a fresh, glossy lip colour to play with. I think it's even safer to say that I am not the only one that agrees that this deadly form of cancer needs to be stopped. Fast.

The 'Silver Ribbon' gift pack is available in November exclusively in Priceline stores. If you want to learn more about the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation or make a donation, visit ocfr.com.au or call 1300 OVARIAN. Your money will be going towards a cause that really, truly is worth it.
