Keeping Up Appearances (Be Beautiful: Wear Red Lipstick)


“On A Bad Day There’s Always Red Lipstick”

This month we celebrate survivors, provide encouragement to those in the midst of the breast cancer fight, and remember those that fought the good fight by encouraging you to Be Beautiful: Wear Red Lipstick as you “Fight Like A Girl". 

Breast Cancer and cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation can cause tremendous changes to the physical body and produce real havoc on the emotions. 

Keeping Up Appearances is extremely important regardless the fight. The attitude towards the fight is what carries the patient from diagnosis to survivor!! 


As I reflect on the effects of breast cancer, I can personally share the testimonies of faith and "Keeping Up Appearances" of two women who had a tremendous impact on my spiritual walk--Mrs. Dorothy Branic and Ms. Sheila Alston! These ladies often shared their struggles with many in an effort to help someone else make it through the fight!! Their "Look and Feel Your Best Always" attitude, God's strength and their “On a Bad Day There’s always Red Lipstick” carried them during some of their roughest stages of their fight. I remember these ladies, beautifully adorned from head to toe, always topped off their ensemble with Red Lipstick "!! They always greeted you with a smile with that Red lipstick poppin!! I do declare there was healing power in that Red lipstick they wore giving those of us they came in contact with hope for what may lie ahead in our own struggles. Their testimony of faith, courage and strength coupled with their attitude towards the fight gave them the courage to fight on regardless of how they felt physically! 

To the ladies that are still fighting I encourage you to try some Red Lipstick compounded with your Faith in God! Cause “On a Bad Day There’s Always Red Lipstick” for Keeping up Appearances!
