Think Pink: How Small Actions Make a Big Impact During Breast Cancer Awareness Month

🎀 Salted Bliss Commitment to Care, Community & Conscious Giving

Every October, the world turns pink, not just in colour, but in spirit. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a time of reflection, education and action. It’s a global movement that honours those affected by breast cancer, raises awareness about early detection and supports the ongoing fight for better treatments and outcomes.

At Salted Bliss, we believe that small businesses can make a meaningful impact. That’s why, throughout the month of October, we’re donating 15% of all sales from our Goddess Essential Oil Perfume, both online and at Cafe Collective WA stores to Breast Cancer Care WA. It’s our way of standing in solidarity with the women, families, and communities touched by this disease.

🌸 Why Breast Cancer Awareness Month Matters

Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) was first established in 1985 to promote education, encourage screenings, and fund research. Since then, it has evolved into a powerful global movement. The iconic pink ribbon has become a symbol of hope, resilience, and unity.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, with over 2.3 million new cases reported annually. 

This month is not just about awareness, it’s about action. It’s about empowering individuals to take charge of their health, supporting those in treatment, and honoring the lives lost. It’s also a time to celebrate survivors and the strength they embody.

 🩷 The Importance of Early Detection

One of the key messages of BCAM is the importance of early detection. When breast cancer is caught early, the chances of successful treatment are significantly higher. Regular self examinations, clinical screenings, and mammograms can save lives.

Yet, many people still face barriers to accessing these services, whether due to lack of awareness, financial constraints, or fear. That’s why education and community support are so vital. By talking openly about breast cancer, we help break down stigma and encourage proactive health choices.

 Supporting the Whole Person

Breast cancer doesn’t just affect the body, it impacts every aspect of life. Emotional, psychological, and social support are just as important as medical care. Organisations like Breast Cancer Care WA provide holistic services that include counseling, peer support, practical assistance and wellness programs.

These services help women feel seen, supported, and empowered during one of the most challenging times of their lives. And they rely on community donations to continue their work.

🌿 Salted Bliss: Giving Back with Goddess

At Salted Bliss, we’ve always believed in the healing power of nature and the importance of self-care. Our Goddess Essential Oil Perfume was created to celebrate feminine strength, beauty and resilience. It’s a blend of essential oils known for their grounding, balancing, and uplifting properties.

This October, Goddess takes on even deeper meaning. For every bottle sold, 15% of proceeds will be donated to Breast Cancer Care WA,  helping fund vital support services for women in our community.

Whether you’re purchasing Goddess for yourself or as a gift for someone you love, your purchase becomes a gesture of care and connection. It’s a way to honor the women who inspire us and contribute to a cause that truly matters.

🐚 Why We Chose Breast Cancer Care WA

As a Perth based small business, we’re passionate about supporting local organisations that make a real difference. Breast Cancer Care WA is a not-for-profit that provides free emotional, practical and financial support to people affected by breast cancer in Western Australia.

Their services are available to anyone diagnosed with breast cancer, regardless of age or stage. From counseling and transport assistance to wellness workshops and peer support, they offer compassionate care that meets people where they are.

We admire their commitment to holistic healing and community values that align deeply with our own.

 🌼 The Role of Scent in Emotional Healing

Fragrance has a unique ability to soothe the soul. At Salted Bliss, we craft our perfumes with pure essential oils that not only smell beautiful but also support emotional wellbeing. Scents like rose geranium and sandalwood are known to reduce anxiety, promote balance, and uplift the spirit, qualities that are especially meaningful during times of stress or recovery.

Applying perfume can be a mindful ritual, a moment of self-love and grounding. That’s why we’re proud to offer products that are gentle on skin, free from synthetic additives, and crafted with intention.

 🎀 How You Can Get Involved

Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are a few ways you can make a difference:

- Wear pink to show solidarity  
- Schedule a screening or encourage loved ones to do so  
- Share resources and stories on social media  
- Donate to organisations like Breast Cancer Care WA

And of course, you can support Salted Bliss’s initiative by purchasing Goddess Essential Oil Perfume throughout October. Every bottle sold helps fund essential services for women in WA.

 🌸 Final Thoughts
