Are you looking for stylish, quality headwear for someone having chemotherapy treatment for cancer and losing their hair?  The original concept behind Bold Beanies came from Emilienne who lost her hair with chemo for Breast Cancer aged 31 and couldn't find anything fashionable as well soft and comfy to cover up whilst looking after her young family.  Choosing only the very best UK fabrics from Liberty of London as well as other designer quality cotton-based prints and plains she created a collection of Chemo headwear to suit women of all ages, as well as men, kids and teens.

... and what it means to me.  I'm really struggling with 'Pink October' this year. My youngest daughter's birthday is the fifth October and it marks a significant point in my life. Firstly, in this month I gave birth to my second beautiful baby girl... all I ever wanted, was to be a mum. I loved every minute of this pregnancy and Lotte was just a dream. My eldest daughter, Olivia, then had just turned three and was just so funny and full of life. The following year, on Lotte's first birthday I had my second dose of chemotherapy following a gruelling five...

I think most people were pleased to see the end of 2020. What a difficult year for all of us. A year for patience, friendship, all things online and finding contentment at home. Many have worked tremendously hard and put their own lives at risk to keep the country going, to which I am personally very grateful.

New products are being developed ( this is the exciting bit for me! ) and we will working with some interesting designers and small businesses to create sustainable wears here on the borders of England and Wales. Follow rebelfamilyproduction on Instagram for more manufacturing up to date info. My daughter will also be getting her camera out for styling videos and mini headscarf and head wrap vlogs! 

I'm proud to introduce a new collection to Bold Beanies headwear range using a fun bold fabric prints for Women with Breast Cancer. I've also been working on some longer-term blogs testing out various products aimed and eyebrow and eyelash hair growth following chemotherapy. Blogs coming soon. 

This year I will remind you all to 'feel it on the first' and check your breasts. Men also should check for lumps. If you are like me and have had any breast surgery, then you are also reminded to check your breasts or breast area for any abnormal signs or lumps... even if you think you have no breast tissue left, its still important.  

Face masks could be giving people Covid-19 immunity, researchers suggest. Mask wearing might also be reducing the severity of the virus and ensuring that a greater proportion of new infections are asymptomatic. Face masks could also be making people less sick.  Face masks may be inadvertently giving people Covid19 immunity and making them get less sick from the virus, academics have suggested in one of the most respected medical journals in the world.  The commentary, published in the New England Journal of Medecine, advances the unproven but promising theory that universal mask wearing might be helping to reduce the severity...
