Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Risk Prevention & Early Detection
1. A lot of people talk about preventing breast cancer, but the correct term is risk reduction.
"We don't really know how to prevent breast cancer. We know how to reduce people's risks," said Judith Swasey, a nurse practitioner at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill's cancer hospital. The basics: Don't smoke, exercise a lot, watch your diet and get annual screenings.
2. Early detection.
There has been lots of controversy in recent years over the usefulness of annual mammograms for some women. The American Cancer Society and many breast cancer centers continue to recommend annual mammograms starting at 40. The cancer society also recommends clinical breast exams by physicians annually, beginning at the same age as mammograms.
For those at high risk for breast cancer because of family history, annual screening should begin before age 40. For example, if you have a sister who developed breast cancer at 45, the recommendation is to start mammograms at 35. Awareness and screening have led to more early detection. Don't forget to do self-checks once a month as well, if you are unsure on how to self-check yourself here are some step by step instructions.

As you may know, Amanda Sterett also has a Breast Cancer Collection. Each piece of this collection is named in honor of a woman that has battled this disease. Amanda donates 20% of proceeds to breast cancer awareness and research. We will share a few pieces with you each week along with the stories of the women that the pieces are named for.
This earring is named in honor of Ann Grant Anthony. She battled breast cancer for 5 years before she passed away in March of 2009.
This earring is in honor of Bev Sorenson, who was diagnosed in 2009 and is currently undergoing treatment.
This necklace is in honor of Deborah Stephens who was diagnosed October of 2009 and is currently undergoing treatment.

Jordan said, "This dress is bad design and bad fit, unflattering all around."
Zachary said, "Looks amazing in red! It was done just right! Especially with the neckline."
Zachary said, "Hate to say it but just doesn't wear it right, top is ill-filling and not flattering to her."

Big Rich Texas
Big Rich Texas on Style Network is the perfect mix of drama, cliché, scripted reality, and big hair. While most of it is a stereotypical representation of the Dallas/Fort Worth area and the people that live there, it's also incredibly addicting. What's more addicting? Dallas's fabulous fashion and shopping. Evidence? These promo pictures for the show include one of the cast members sporting Amanda Sterett Veronica Earrings in gold and turquoise (Hannah is wearing them, front row brunette to the right). This beautiful earring is from our past Spring 2011 Collection, but for a limited time, check it out on our website here for purchase!
