Ladies the month is almost over and I will like to dedicate this post to all women that have had breast cancer or knows about someone who had breast cancer.  If you’re familiar then you know how  hard can it be to go trough it and how it can affect a women self-esteem. I have experience it with a love one and thanks to god she’s a survivor.
