April Showers……..

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Always reminds me to be grateful for Spring Flowers and the return of good weather a specially here in the Northeast!  I’ll bet you thought I was going to make some comment about replacing your old shower caddy or bath mat with something new and wonderful from Better Bath didn’t you??  Well as much as that is a good idea I really think that sometimes we take for granted what Spring and April Showers really mean.  Now John touched on that subject last month a little bit and he was right it is a new start along with being a good time to take a personal inventory of what is important in your life.  This week John and his brother Patrick are in Jacksonville Florida at the MPS Tennis Championships not on vacation [well maybe a little] but they are there working with Tennis Against Breast Cancer or TABC.  In fact they are working the TABC booth at The Sawgrass Golf and Tennis club. Maureen Rankine from the TABC is selling all kinds of items including Better Bath products that we donated to help raise money for the fight against breast cancer.  As I was sitting at lunch today thinking about John and Patrick [as any good Father would when his kids are away] I heard the following headline from ESPN Tennis legend Martina Navratilova said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” she was diagnosed with breast cancer in February.

Martina Navratilova was one of if not the greatest champion the sport of Tennis has ever known!  With all of her accomplishments on and off the court she said today that this would be the toughest fight of her life.  The good news as she said Good Morning America it was diagnosed early and is a very treatable form of breast cancer.  Listening to Martina recount her story made me think of just how important our health is and how we take it for granted at times.  With this diagnoses in the news all women should be reminded to do that self examine you have been putting off and call your doctor if you find anything at all.  As I have been reminded over the years by many doctors breast cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer and with a simple examine many lives can be saved.

Two years ago Better Bath introduced our Soak for a Cure Spa Pillow which has been sold at Bed Bath and Beyond successfully with all proceeds being donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The idea being that every time you soak in the tub using our spa pillow do a self examine and also remember that your health is the greatest gift you can give yourself!!  So get back to the gym and make sure you are eating right and take care of your body no matter what shape you are in, being active is the secret to a good long life.  Oh and by the way always remember to Put Stuff in its Place.
