		<description><![CDATA[March is National Colon Cancer Awareness Month, and I definitely wanted to share some facts on the site. Colon cancer didn&#8217;t really land on my radar until a couple of years ago when I started experiencing issues with my GI system. I went months without getting treatment because I was uninsured and I practically obsessed about my health situation becoming cancerous. Then, everything went away and the thoughts subsided. Fast forward to late last year, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago on the Choose You blog, I talked about the need for brown girls to protect their skin from the sun. There&#8217;s nothing that I love more than watching my skin go from carmel to a sun-kissed brown during the summer months. In fact, I spent the Chicago winter dreaming about it. But, for all the time that I was spending in the sun, I was NOT wearing sunscreen. I&#8217;d fallen [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Health has always been an issue close to my heart. Growing up, I had my heart set on becoming a doctor because I’ve always believed that if you don’t have your health, everything else suffers. In college, however, I decided that being healthy starts before the treatment process. Every day that we wake up, there are things that we can do to take steps to being as healthy as we can be. So, I decided [...]]]></description>

And, of course, outer beauty isn&#8217;t everything, but things like the loss of hair or skin changes definitely have some effect on the way some women see themselves.
