Our Story
Two days before New Years Day 2023, I received a much-anticipated call from my doctor, unfortunately the news was not what I was hoping to hear, I had cancer. This diagnosis led to a total hysterectomy and subsequent surgery-induced menopause. By the grace of God, the surgery was successful in removing the cancer. Just as abruptly as receiving the cancer diagnosis, I was thrusted into relentless, frequent daily hot flashes. I struggled with how to cope with my physical changes and the emotional gravity of having cancer and a hysterectomy.
I needed relief that could integrate seamlessly into my daily life. I discovered that placing a frozen ice pack on the back of my neck offered immediate solace from the hot flashes. The challenge, though, was the practicality of holding the ice pack in place while going about my day. The solution emerged as a stylish scarf, designed not only to make a fashion statement but to also cleverly hold an ice pack in place. This scarf became my personal relief and through the encouragement and support of my family to share this innovative solution with others I created "Pretty Cool Scarves" to offer relief for woman from the hot flashes and hopefully obtain relief in style.
