Valentines Day is just around the corner and stores, blogs and magazines are saturated with shades of red and cutesy symbols such as hearts. We are all ready for the most "romantic" day of the year that falls in February but the 2nd month of the year is also very important because it is Heart Month . Heart Month is a time to raise awareness for Heart Health and prevention of heart disease which is the leading cause of death in women. The Heart Truth Red Dress Collection Fashion Show is a wonderful event that takes place annually in New York during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and honors those affected by heart disease with a celebrity and designer infused runway extravaganza! Working for the American College of Cardiology , I am lucky to be a part of an organization that champions for awareness and action to educate women about heart health. The launch of our new patient focused website is just a few days away and we are beyond excited for it but till then get all your heart health information via CardioSmart. The gowns pictured above have been on display in our lobby for a few months and I wanted to share with all of you
the power of The Red Dress.
I hope that everyone reading will join me on Feb. 1 for Wear Red Day. Please spread the word and take pictures of yourselves in your red attire and send to me via email or tag me on Instagram/ Twitter/ or Facebook and I will add you to the Fashionistas Fighting Heart Disease collage that will be posted on the blog. Please also leave a comment and let me know how you stay heart healthy! Let us spread the word and fight Heart Disease through fashion and fitness together!

As someone who has blood pressure issues, being health healthy is super important to me. I've tried to incorporate more walking througout the day, getting ouy for brisk walks at lunch and to/from work. I've always cute back fried foods, and started eating more heart healthy fruits and veggies, and more OATMEAL...I don't even like oatmeal but it's good for you so i eat it. By the way number 3 is my favorite outfit especially the shoes.
those are all great things to do! Thank you SO much for commenting! Visit www.cardiosmart.org for more great tips as well!
I stay heart healthy by exercising as much as I can and eating healthy dishes in moderation. That's what I always had a problem with - moderation. But slowly and surely, I'm getting there. I'm seeing results within the this past month of hopping on my healthy journey. I's excited.
I'm also excited for Feb. 1st and wearing red for a good cause. Not really a fan of red but I'm gonna rummage through my closet and find something in that shade and participate on Instagram.
thank you SO much Vivi! Moderation is my issue as well. I love to overindulge and I need to curb the fatty foods. Thank you for participating in Wear Red Day and please dont forget to tag me in the instagram post so I can feature you on the blog post! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
I got HR to send a blast email to the entire company encouraging people to wear red on Friday and explain WHY. Since we're in the health care field it's a natural pairing and such an important topic to bring attention to. My father and all his siblings had heard issues - all had open heart surgery at least once, and three of them passed away from heart-related issues. Having such a family history makes this an important topic for me and I'm glad it's getting such attention. I walk a lot, have my morning oatmeal, eat a lot of vegetables, have never smoked a cigarette in my life, and get regular check-ups to monitor my heart health! :)
thank you SO much for commenting Allie and wow, you really have had alot of experience with Heart Disease. I hope everyone in your family is ok and yes I agree its an issue that needs to be getting much more attention!
Thank you again
I fully support this cause and will not only be rocking my RED this Friday but will be taking steps to keep my heart healthy. Great job!!!!
thank you Stania!

Outfit #1 and #3 are very nice. Tip: "Stress kills" is not just a saying, it's the truth. To try to protect your heart protect your mind and your emotions. Tackling stress makes for a happy heart. At least happier...and healthier. Andrea @ be-quoted.com #blm
Andrea you are so right! Stress does kill and it ages quickly. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I truly appreciate it

Ooo La La...I'm really digging outfit #3! :-)
Heart Health - I think it's important to remember heart disease is the leading cause of death for women AND men in America. We sometimes forget and it's well known that men don't like to visit their doctor regularly. We can fight this preventable silent killer together! Love the post and everything the American Heart Association is doing to bring awareness to this issue!
thank you girl and you are SOOOOO correct. Dont forget the ACC is doing just as much as the AHA lol :)
ahh how could i forget! My apologies!!! Yall ROCK!
