As every year, the month of October is adorned with pink, a symbolic color chosen to illustrate the organized screening campaign for breast cancer. But this time, this health awareness is sprinkled with a hint of glamor and coquetry. The annual publication of Rose magazine (number 9), the feminine magazine that supports and accompanies women with cancer, is accompanied by the launch of the first “surprise beauty box” for patients and former patients.
Giving “All you need is rose” is a way of dispelling the preposterous but all too widespread idea that being sick rhymes with forgetting oneself. Cancer and the physical consequences linked to the treatment do not mean that we lose the right to take care of yourself and do good. Beauty treatments are not the prerogative of healthy women, insists this beauty box which will offer a selection of targeted products, treatments and gifts. Objective: to continue to feel beautiful and fit despite the ordeal, whether at home or in the hospital.
A good action
The profits made by the purchase of a box – worth €39.90 – will be donated to Rose magazine and will also be used to finance actions by associations committed to the fight against cancer.
Where to get it
Issue 9 of Rose magazine available in October contains an order form. It is also possible to download it directly from the sites www.allyouneedisrose.com and www.rosemagazine.fr.
