February is American Heart Month. And so it should be, as cardiovascular diseases are our nations #1 killer.
So, go red girls.
This national movement was founded by the American Heart Association as a way of keeping women in the know about the dangers of heart disease. Heart Disease is the Number #1 killer of American women! We do so much to prevent breast cancer, we need to not only love pink but love RED! (And it's a good thing these two colors go together.)
What can you do to support the cause?
Wear something red.
Why not try a bright lip?
It is the hot color for the pout this year. We like Rimmel London's new Moisture Renew Lip Colour in Red Alert, Rose Passion, or Rosette.
Personally, I can't pull off red lips, but I always wear red nail polish.
So my new personal recommendation?
Rimmel's Lasting Finish Pro Nail Enamel in Stiletto.
And if you're really interested in the cause and a jersey broad like moi, there's an event in Red Bank you can attend.
Meridian Cardiovascular Network, Riverview Medical Center is hosting its 2nd Annual Red Dress Event on February 25th at Buona Sera Restaurant in Red Bank.
In 2002, The Heart Truth introduced the Red Dress as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness.
The campaign’s goal is to help women understand their risk of heart disease.
Notable designers who have dressed the celebrity models in the past for this fashion show include: Vera Wang, Donna Karan, Oscar De la Renta, Badgley Mischka, Marc Jacobs, etc...
Enjoy signature red cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and fashion – and most importantly, learn more about the Meridian Cardiovascular Network and how you can be heart healthy.
