#NoBraDay

Okay, I absolutely couldn't resist writing at least a quick blog about this one. I missed out on writing for Thanksgiving Day, but a day without bras?  Yeah. Well, It's not all about boobs...Boobs are nice, but the older I get, the more I realize it's not always really all about boobs.

Just a gentle reminder:  #NoBraDay means Not Wearing Bra. It doesn't mean showing us your nude boobs. #NoBraDay doesn't mean you post your boobs without bra, girls. You can kindly tuck your boobs back in your shirt pls. I know its #NoBraDay but that doesn't mean you need to take a selfie to show your boobish all over the world. Big difference between #NoBraDay and #BareBoobsDay. Y'all seem to have it confused. #NoBraDay does not mean being topless.

I know once you put them on, bras just aren't all that comfortable, especially if you have actual breasts. (You size A cups may feel free to leave the post now, since you likely won't have a clue what I'm talking about.) But for any woman that is blessed/cursed with wearing a bra, this day is for you! NO BRA DAY! Embrace it! Walk around without your boobies confined! Revolt against the confines of your bosom prison!

 Ladies, #NoBraDay doesn't mean #NoBrainDay. Posting nude pics of yourselves is simply brainless of you. 13 Oct is No BRA Day not #NoClothesDay. An annual “holiday” that encourages women to set the "girls" free in "support" of October's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For the third year in a row, women everywhere are being encouraged to take off their brassieres and let their breasts "free" for the day.  While the occasion may be liberating (and so much more comfortable) for some women, the event is not without controversy. In fact, some find the event quite offensive. But No Bra Day helps raise awareness about a very important cause - breast cancer.

Men may feel left out on this day devoted to bra-lessness, but keep in mind that any male can participate simply by wearing purple. Rock a purple anything and show some support for the women in your life, all of whom should be rocking out with their breasts out. Women who simply must wear a bra can do the same, and wear something purple too.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths. Despite the many advances in cancer treatment and great progress over the years, the cause of breast cancer is still unknown. According to the National Cancer Institute, it is estimated that more than 230,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and 40,000 will die. But many do survive breast cancer. In fact, 89 percent survived five or more years after being diagnosed between 2004 and 2010. Finding cancer early by regular self-exams and mammograms can save your life. Know the known risks and talk to your doctor about scheduling a mammogram. The best way to fight breast cancer is to have a plan that helps you detect the disease in its early stages.

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month helps raise awareness and supports breast cancer research, but also honors those who have lost the fight. Whether Or Not You Plan To Participate In No Bra Day By Going Braless On Oct. 13, The Fight Against Cancer Continues.
