What are Bold Beanies and why are they so special?

What are Bold Beanies and why are they so special?

So comfortable you will forget you are wearing it. Natural, Breathable, temperature controlling UV protective as well as stylish. 

Bold Beanies Cancer Chemo Hats were designed by Emilienne after she lost her hair with chemotherapy treatment for Stage 3 advanced Breast Cancer at a young age. She found her bald head very cold, particularly at night time. 

Losing your hair suddenly makes you feel extra cold. Emilienne wore woollen beanies mostly but they were itchy and would get too hot and so she would take it off and then of course she'd get cold again... disturbing an already difficult night's sleep. The sheer relief from wearing a soft comfy breathable beanie that fit snuggly so was less prone to slipping around (as head scarves do, especially in bed) is felt by many. Perfect for day wear to feel less conscious of your hair-loss Alopecia and just get on with your day with one less thing to worry about.

It was important for her to stay covered up for her family as she looked very ill and thats when she realised the need for Bold Beanies. A hat with minimal seams, especially over pressure points and no extra irritants, like labels.

Bold Beanies hats sleep cap beanys bonnets skull caps... however you choose to describe them are silky soft stretchy cotton and so very comfortable you will forget you are wearing them, but with beautiful Liberty Fabric prints or fun prints (as well as a rainbow of plain colours ) you won't have to. Styles to suit everyone and at an affordable price.

Anastrozole: Drug Proven to Prevent Breast Cancer

Posted by Emilienne Rebel on

Tens of thousands of women in England could benefit from a drug that helps prevent breast cancer. Although I'm not post menopausal, I'm still extremely excited to read about this new development in Breast Cancer prevention. I took Tamoxifen for 10 years (I've been off it now for nearly 5 years already) and it has left me with often crippling Endometriosis without the option of drugs because they are hormone based. Surgery is my only option which would force me into post menopausal state. I'm going to enquire about my options of taking Anastrozole as a way to further decrease...
