Valentine's Day. It's a celebration of love; traditionally, romantic love... This year on the tail of a recent Newspoll survey, the Australian Cervical Cancer Foundation (ACCF) is urging Australian women to remember themselves with a caring gesture to their most feminine parts on Valentine‟s Day, by committing to make a date with their doctor for a Pap test.
I had my first Pap test in my early twenties, and have been having regular two year tests ever since. I'm sometimes a little surprised when I hear that my friends or family members aren't having regular Pap tests themselves. It's very naughty and also scary, especially when you read the facts:

Did you know?
Something else really interesting from the January survey, is that two popular occasions for personal grooming are Valentine's Day and Pap tests. Yes! It seems very sensible to combine the two and kill two birds with the one stone....

So, this Valentine's Day, do you something important for yourself and book in for a Pap smear. It could save your life!
To share the Valentine's Day Pap test love, I just popped down to the shop and bought fifteen mini chocolate hearts for you! Leave a comment on this post about your own Pap test story (naughty people confessions also allowed) and I'll choose five Aussie girls this Friday to post out 3 mini hearts to each. It's just a fun teensy give away :)
Everyone needs chocolate hearts and Pap smears xox
