Yakult is taking a stand against breast cancer! The iconic probiotic drink’s Fight Breast Cancer campaign aims to raise awareness in the community through fundraising for the Breast Cancer Foundation (BCF). Funds will go towards programmes and services for breast cancer beneficiaries, as well as mammogram subsidies and awareness outreach activities for the community. The Fight Breast Cancer public education and outreach effort will be helmed by lots of Yakult ladies all clad in recognisable pink “Fight Breast Cancer” shirts with the Breast Cancer Foundation Pink Ribbon pin! The fabulous Yakult ladies will be going door-to-door to educate communities in Singapore on the disease and methods to aid early detection (like how to carry out self-examinations and more) through informative brochures.
Say hi to these Yakult ladies if you see them in your ‘hood!
Breathe Essentials Co is the result of founder Charlene Koh’s battle with breast cancer over the past year. She was first diagnosed with stage one breast cancer at the age of 35, but turned the painful experience into a chance to rejuvenate her career now that she has gone into remission. After discovering how essential oils managed to help her cope with tough treatments, she created a range of organic essential oils sourced and distilled in the French Riviera, and worked closely with a 200-year-old European fragrance house to create hand-poured scented candles. We got a whiff of these amazing candles and just have to say – we’re hooked! The unique wood wick is also known for a cleaner burn, and we can testify that the alluring scents permeate across the room in a matter of minutes (NB: I could even smell the candles through the box the moment they arrived on my doorstep! – Syazana, Editor).
The brand is also a proud supporter of the Breast Cancer Foundation.

If you’ve never heard of Swapaholic, here’s the lowdown: it’s a clothing and accessories swap that allows you to trade in your fashion items in exchange for points to use on swapped items by fellow swappers (read our full review here!). While they used to operate on an events basis, they’ve had to adapt to the current pandemic and first introduced online swapping earlier this year. Now, they’ve opened a physical Swap Shop at Orchard Central – simply bring in your items to swap and you’ll get charged by the item (from just $3.50 per item!) before collating your total points and using them to find hidden gems by other swappers. The selection is often rotated so you’ll get to browse fresh finds each time, with apparel and accessories spanning women’s, men’s and children’s wear. Before you drop by, just make sure all your items are clean and in swappable condition – check out the guidelines here.
Get three additional swapping points with promo code SASSY3! Valid till 30 November 2020 across Swap Shop and Online Packages.
