At some point in our lives each one of us has been touched by breast cancer in some way or will be in the future. According to Breastcancer.org "1 in 8 U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her life and more than 1 in 4 cancers in women are breast cancer." Alarming statistics such as these have led many leading companies and brands throughout the United States to do their part in order make a difference. With that being said, Beauty expert Jenn Falik was kind enough to join me recently to discuss ways we can support breast cancer awareness in the month of October and how Ulta Beauty and Ford Warriors are making a difference!

Beauty expert and television correspondent, Stacy Cox stopped by with the latest scoop on the top skincare and beauty trends for fall.

Beauty Expert and TV Correspondent Stacy Cox with fall's best beauty tips, tricks and trends! Image via StacyCoxTVHost.com Candace: With the weather getting cooler, should we switch up our makeup and skincare routines? Stacy Cox: "Absolutely. I think one of the quickest, easiest things to do is take your lightweight serums and your gel based moisturizers and relegate them to the back of your beauty cabinet and infuse some heavier weight, more nourishing emollient moisturizers. I've been doing my research for this and I was talking with some beauty editors, a couple makeup artists and some celebrities and they were all so enthusiastic and so emphatic about the virtues of Cetaphil (the brand) and I think it's a really good point because there's so many millions of people out there that are suffering from eczema. So Cetaphil came out and is launching two new products this...

Celebrity Chef and Restaurant owner, Fabio Viviani, who many of you will recognize from the reality show "Top Chef" joined me to share his top kitchen secrets on making a great meal in no time flat! Celebrity Chef, Fabio Viviani - Image courtesy of Facebook Candace: What's the secret to creating a great homemade Italian meal? Fabio Viviani: "There is no secret- it's either you are Italian and you are in Italy or you use principle that are basic for any smart food making maneuver and food choices. For example keep it simple- buy fresh quality ingredients but you know all this does ask for some time, honestly. If you want to make a good meal you've got to spend some time in the kitchen. You know that's the reason why we're here, we are trying to bring the convenience of a restaurant meal when you cannot go out and have a meal in a restaurant, and when you don't have the time to cook for yourself which are two good options.

Screenshot courtesy of LifeMinute.TV Candace: What are the latest footwear trends for fall? Cristina Ehrlich: "Well this fall it is all about the boot and I'm here today with VIA SPIGA to show you some of the top trends for this season. Over here we have our black classic flat boot; its got a little bit of a military vibe which is a trend for fall (shown in video). You can see it's a very elegant and sleep classic looking boot but it just has this really cool grommeting detail on the side. Another trend for fall is the wedge. The wedge is not only super comfortable, it's going to give women that little bit of extra comfort; it's got a throwback to the 70's. It's easy, it's out the door. It comes in both gray and black, it's done in suede....

Ginnny Snook Scott, Chief Organization Expert at California Closets based in San Rafael, California, joined me recently to share tips on decluttering our homes, organizing our fall wardrobes, and the latest trends in customized closets! Ginny Snook Scott of California Closets Candace: What are the first steps we need to take when organizing our homes? Ginny Snook Scott: "The first is not to see it as a task that you can't accomplish. I think people are so afraid to start because it seems like such a big project to get organized and the secret is not to start with the entire house; pick one specific area that you can get started on, typically the master closet is one that you're wanting to get started on. And with fall coming, it's a great time to think about switching out your wardrobe. Take those flip flops and those tank tops and store them away and start to pull out the sweaters and those warm clothes you're going to be needing shortly." Candace: How does clutter affect our lives and what are the benefits of clearing it? GS: "Clutter is enormously stressful. We found that 50% of people feel that clutter and disorganization...

Author and Registered Dietitian, Victoria Shanta Retelny stopped by to share healthy eating tips in honor of National Cholesterol month! Candace: With September being National Cholesterol Month; what are some simple things we can do to maintain a healthy normal cholesterol level? Victoria Shanta Retelny: "Great. Yeah, there's so many things you can do as far as the food you're eating and I like to recommend because I have a sweet tooth- dark chocolate. Dark chocolate adds such powerful antioxidants to your diet which actually keeps your cholesterol in a healthy normal range and can actually keep that bad cholesterol from oxidizing. I do like to recommend about an ounce a day of dark chocolate; the other thing I like to tell people is lower your sodium intake. It doesn't mean you have to take away flavor but really think about how much sodium you have on your plate. The typical American eats twice as much salt and sodium as they should, so I recommend Mrs. Dash salt-free seasoning blends; there's 14 varieties. They have some great recipes on their website- go to MrsDash.com or check them out on facebook. The other thing is snacking. So many people ask me...

Dr. Herbert A. Raffaele - Chief, Division of International Conservation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Conservation, joined me live from Busch Gardens to discuss the Save Vanishing Species stamp project and various ways we can help save endangered tigers and other wildlife from extinction. Dr. Herbert Raffaele, live from Busch Gardens Candace: Doctor, how did tigers become the most vulnerable species on the planet and can you discuss the challenges they face in the wild? Dr. Herbert Raffaele: "Well, tigers have been endangered simply because of human population expansion into their natural range. So despite the fact that tigers once occurred throughout Asia, there were countless; hundreds of thousands of them, even 100 years ago. Less than 100 years ago there were 100,000. We're down to just a few thousand tigers. There are fewer tigers alive today than there were students in my high school when I was a kid, so the threat is simply that humans have expanded. The primary threat anyway is that humans have expanded into the habitat where tigers once lived and converted that habitat to something quite different and making it impossible for them to survive. There are other pressures as well, such as...

Manoush Robin of Media Bistro joined me recently to share the newest and hottest tech gadgets to keep you and your loved ones connected this fall! Candace: Do you have any suggestions when it comes to keeping families connected and organized? Manoush Robin: "Oh, Candace, I absolutely do because I don't know about you- fall means back to school for people, but it also means back to back crazy family hectic schedules. So I've got some low cost and some even free ways that you can keep the family in sync and communicating. I want to start out by talking about how you can stay in touch with all the people in your life. You probably know Skype- it's a way of getting free and low cost calls but now you can make those calls straight from your home phone without even turning on your computer. The FREETALK Connect-me adaptor uses a broadband internet connection with your home phone and the adaptor is under $40. It comes with 60 minutes of free calls or if you're in the market for a new phone you might want to check out the Skype GE cordless which connects straight to your Skype contacts,...

Happy Sunday! My good friends up at PB & J Boutique in Chico, California kindly gave me a beautiful top by Mystree for review and I must say I'm MORE than in love with it! The color is absolutely stunning and the rosettes are more gorgeous in person. I can't wait to wear it this fall with my brown corduroy flare jeans and hopefully a pair of red skinny jeans (if I can ever find a pair!) Today I paired this gorgeous top with my favorite 7 For All Mankind flared trousers and my beloved Frye boots. My beautifully wrapped package from PB & J Boutique in Chico :) Closeup of the stunning rosettes! My Weimaraner, Freddy and I. We love PB & J Boutique in Chico! That last picture didn't do Fred justice ;) - The Mystree Smocking Flower Top is still available for purchase at PB & J Boutique - Mystree - Smocking Flower Top - P B & J Boutique

Image via JennFalik.com Candace: What were some of your favorite looks from Sunday night's Emmys? Jenn Falik:"I thought that the hair at the Emmys was gorgeous. I was lucky to host an Emmy viewing party with Wella Professional and got to hang out with their celebrity stylists and talk about the hair as we were seeing it. The hot topic of conversation was color- Gretchen Mol with her buttery blond hair; we saw a lot of pastel undertones. Nina Dobrev and Emily Blunt- rich brunettes; they all use Wella Professional styling products for the big night. And you can go to your colorist and ask them to use Wella color. And on a daily basis I think taking care of your hair; all these celebrities know that they need to do it for their hair to look good for those big nights, Wella's Enrich line is great because it's hydrating. It's shampoo, conditioner, treatment are easy to follow and keeps your hair really shiny but still voluminous. Any style that we saw on the red carpet...

You can wear it with a pair of skinny jeans and motorcycle boots (if you're looking for something more casual) and if you want to dress up, I think a pair of flared jeans or wide leg slacks is a great way to go if you're...
