Miami, 2005 – In observance of October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Miami is proud to participate in this worthy cause in partnership with the American Cancer Society to help make strides towards this life saving crusade.

This October marks the second anniversary of The Spa’s “Pink Boutique,” which provides guests an opportunity to purchase one-of-a-kind items throughout the month to support Breast Cancer Awareness. For every piece sold in the month of October, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society. Some items exclusive to the “Pink Boutique” are ESPA’s Pink Hair and Scalp Mud, ESPA’s Floral Spa fresh spritzer, a variety of chic pink T-shirts, tank tops and flip flops, all encrusted with Swarovski crystals and a variety of pink hair accessories.

Along with these exclusive items, Miami jewelry designer Cynthia Lynn has created a special limited-edition semi-precious stone necklace. Guests can show support for the fight against breast cancer by wearing a stunning heart pendant that promotes serenity, healing, fortune and love. “The gemstones are designed to keep our seven chakra [energy] centers of the body in balance,” said Miami native Lynn who creates each piece by hand. This delicately crafted pendant features pink quartz which is meant to receive love and open the fourth chakra (heart), amethyst which promotes serenity and healing, pearl for luck and success and peridot which symbolizes healing, all while set in sterling silver for a delightfully smooth and chic look. A meaningful gift for someone special or a special treat for oneself!
