I absolutely adore the Love Your Melon organization and what they were created for. I am a proud fan, who has a sticker on her laptop and who wears a honey colored beanie in the winter. I bought the beanie because I wanted to help children battling cancer in America. However, I feel as if the people, especially girls, representing this organization care more about looking cute in a beanie than they do about what Love Your Melon was created to do.

Love Your Melon was not created for girls to curl their hair, do their makeup, and take selfies together wearing different colored beanies. Often times when you compliment a girl on a college campus about her LYM beanie she just says, "Thanks isn't it so cute!" Nothing is said about the organization, and nothing is said about why she bought it. If you ask her what the "LYM" sticker on her laptop is for she just says, "Oh they sell cute beanies and stuff." It honestly pisses me off.

Love Your Melon was created by two male students at a college in Minnesota. Their idea was to "put a hat on every child battling cancer in America." They provide these hats, and now many other products, as well as having a goal to "donate one million dollars to pediatric cancer research and provide immediate support to children and their families." Fifty percent of all profits go to just that. It's actually amazing what they have accomplished and what they keep working to do.

Love Your Melon is impacting lives in such an awesome way. I am not writing this to piss people off, just to make people realize how awesome this organization is and how much the LYM story needs to be told. Think about the selfie you take with your curled hair and pretty makeup. Think about how the children with cancer are losing their hair. Just be conscious, and care.

I mean, take all the selfies you want. Post all you want about those beanies and other products. Put as many "LYM" stickers as you want on everything. Just please, please remember to share the LYM story and to not just represent the brand. Know and share information about this amazing organization because they deserve the recognition.
