February is here which means it is Heart Health Awareness Month. And the first Friday of February is designated Go Red for Women National Wear Red Day. You are urged to wear red to support heart health awareness.
For the past year, I’ve been a Go Red Blogger for the American Heart Association here in St. Louis. Since 2010, I’ve been participating in National Wear Red day for my father, who at the time was living with heart disease. He passed away in 2012 from congestive heart failure.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S.
No matter if you are a man or woman, boy or girl, wearing red on National Wear Red Day is not only important, but can bring attention to heart disease education which can save a life.
I’ve got some goodies for Cubes and Dudes below that you can rock on National Wear Red Day; tech and style ideas that will turn heads and make an important statement. Be heart smart!
UP by Jawbone
I am a huge fan of Up by Jawbone. It’s a wearable activity tracker that monitors your steps, calories burned, sleep activity, and more. Using it daily can help you make sure you are getting in the right amount of movement and steps during the day and syncs with your smartphone and computer. Jawbone, $129.00.

You can never go wrong with red nail polish. And I love I Heart Rouge by Sephora’s Formula X line. Long wearing, and doesn’t chip. A perfect accessory to show off your red. Sephora, $10.50.

I love these Beats by Dre headphones because they give incredible sound, but aren’t as big and bulky as some other models. Reasonably priced as well. Apple, $169.965.

I bought a tube of the lipstick last year and it is one of my faves. Long wearing and long lasting, a little goes a long way! Sephora, $21.00.
These are a just a few tech and style items that can help you show off your red for Heart Health Month. If these don’t fit your fancy, simply pull out something red already in your closet. It doesn’t matter—as long as it is red and it’s visible so people can see it. Let’s all show our support and help fight heart disease and other heart illnesses.
