Cancer Research UK
Sadly everyone seems to know someone with cancer. However, Cancer Research UK's vision is a statement of what they aspire to, why they exist and the impact that they would like to have on society. Their vision of beating cancer is an enormous challenge. These four purpose statements set out how they address that challenge.
1) They carry out world-class research to improve their understanding of cancer and find out how to prevent, diagnose and treat different kinds of cancer
2) They ensure that their findings are used to improve the lives of all cancer patients
3) They help people to understand cancer, the progress they are making and the choices each person can make
4) They work in partnership with others to achieve the greatest impact in the global fight against cancer
All these points come together to do something positive about cancer. Tomorrow Thursday 13th November, Cancer Research UK are hosting their Christmas Fair at the Bank of England Sports Centre, Roehampton, London, SW15 5JQ in order to raise money for the charity. The fair will be open from 9am - 3pm and there will be many stalls all selling wonderful christmas gifts for everyone. Mai Pearls will also be selling there and donating 12% of our takings to Cancer Research UK, so please come and say hello!

Internet shopping
The High Street has seen great change in the last few years. Last December, the High Street footfall was down by 2.6% against the previous year, while internet shopping enjoyed a 46% increase. Retail has changed irrevocably. So why not join the statistics and do your christmas shopping online this year? It will save you time and you can do it from the comfort of your home. The majority of online shops have sound returns policies just like any high street shop. www.maipearls.co.uk

The Recession
With Gordon Brown finally announcing to the UK that we are going into a recession, no one could blame us all for feeling a little down in the dumps about things. So why not brighten up your mood by wearing something bright today? For bright jewellery, check out the Mai Pearls Contemporary range, and even better, have a look at the 25% off Sale Page!

Autumn Winter 08 jewellery trends
Big jewellery is what it is all about this Autumn as shown on the Givenchy Autumn Winter 08 catwalks. Jewellery was supersized with layers of necklaces, piling on heaps of chains and armfuls of bangles. For once, less is not more, so don't hold back, but pile your jewellery high this month! If you are in need of a few more layers, then have a look at www.maipearls.co.uk for some inspiration.
