#IPledgeToCheck Breast Cancer Month

QV Skincare has partnered with the McGrath Foundation to turn an everyday moisturiser into a valuable tool to assist in identifying

changes that could be an early sign of breast cancer, available in pharmacies from October 2016.

By using QV Self Check Breast Cream women are encouraged to get into the habit of self checking to become

familiar with the look and feel of their breasts while they moisturise. QV Self Check Breast Cream also

includes a free educational leaflet stepping out the breast self check process in a simple, but informative

manner.

In addition to educating women on how to check their breasts, QV will also donate $2 from every pack sold to

support the amazing work of the McGrath Foundation.

“Regular self breast checks are an easy way to monitor breasts for changes and report changes to your doctor. Most cases aren’t

cancerous but the earlier breast cancer is identified and diagnosed, the better the outcome is likely to be, so consulting your doctor

is important. ” Dr. Chia added.

Actress, Radio Personality and QV Ambassador Kate Ritchie is also throwing her support behind the campaign and sharing her own

personal story to help encourage other women to take up this important habit.

If you love easy bath and body projects that still feel a little bit fancy, these Lemon and Tea Tree Exfoliating Sugar Scrub Cubes from CraftBits are such a lovely idea. They are fresh, practical, and perfect for those little grab-and-use moments in the shower when you want something quick that still feels like a treat.

What I really like about this recipe is how giftable it is. The cubes are made with melt and pour soap base, sugar, sweet almond oil, lemon essential oil, and tea tree essential oil, so they are simple to pull together but still feel polished and useful. The lemon and tea tree combination sounds especially refreshing too, giving the scrub a clean, spa-like feel.

This is also the sort of project that works beautifully for pamper gifts, guest bathroom treats, or just making your own shower routine feel a little more special. Since they are poured into a small ice cube tray and set into individual cubes, they are neat, cute, and easy to store in an airtight container ready to use.

The tutorial itself is nice and straightforward, which makes it a great little beginner-friendly recipe. You melt the soap base, stir in the sugar, oil, color, and essential oils, then pour the mixture into molds and let it set. Simple, pretty, and very easy to imagine making more than one batch of.

If you are in the mood for a fresh homemade body scrub idea that feels useful, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a really sweet pick.
