Summary
It is Breast Cancer Awareness month and in this weeks episode of "5 Minute Friday", I will be talking about how to can do self breast examinations to see if you have any signs of cancer! 1 in 3 women are affected by breast cancer so the earlier you catch it, the higher chance you have at healing from it! I advise you to please take time out of your day, once a month, same time every month and give yourself an examination! I also discuss the changes that the breasts go through as we age starting from puberty, to pregnancies, and even the use of birth control. I also touch on important routines for your skin in order to protect yourself from the sun. I love informing my Beauty Bytes with information!
