This Saturday, February 7, is National Wear Red Day.
You might see the color red popping up everywhere this weekend—on news anchors, in store windows, and on your social feed.
It isn't an early Valentine's Day celebration. It is something much more important.
This day is dedicated to raising awareness for the #1 killer of women in America: Cardiovascular disease.
It claims more lives each year than all forms of cancer combined. Yet, because we often think of heart attacks as a "man's problem," many women miss the subtle warning signs (like fatigue, nausea, or jaw pain) until it is too late.
So this Saturday, wearing red isn't just a style choice. It is a conversation starter. It is a way to say, "I care about my heart, and I want you to care about yours."
Here is how to rock the red and reclaim your health this weekend.
The Look: Power Red
You don't need a ballgown. The goal is visibility.
-
The Accessory: A bold Red Scarf. It frames your face and is impossible to miss.
-
The Beauty Hack: A classic Red Lip.
-
The Pick: MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick.
-
Why: It is universally cited as the red that looks good on every skin tone. It’s matte, it stays on, and it makes you feel instantly powerful.
The Action: "Know Your Numbers"
Wearing the color is step one. Knowing what is happening inside your veins is step two.
This Saturday, take 10 minutes to schedule your annual physical, or stop by a pharmacy with a blood pressure kiosk.
You need to know these four numbers:
-
Total Cholesterol
-
HDL (Good) Cholesterol
-
Blood Pressure
-
Blood Sugar
-
The Gadget: If you have parents or loved ones you are worried about, gift them an Omron At-Home Blood Pressure Monitor. It removes the "White Coat Syndrome" anxiety of the doctor's office and gives accurate daily readings.

The Movement: The "Red" Walk
Since it is a Saturday, don't just sit there.
Grab a friend, put on your red leggings or red hoodie, and go for a 30-minute brisk walk.
Walking is the single most effective exercise for heart health. It lowers blood pressure and reduces stress.
Make it a "Heart-to-Heart" walk—use the time to check in on each other's mental load and stress levels.
The Donation: Go Red for Women
If you want to make a tangible impact, consider donating the cost of your morning coffee to the American Heart Association's "Go Red for Women" campaign.
It funds life-saving research specifically focused on women's biology.
Wear It Loud.
This Saturday, put on that red dress, that red tie, or that red sweater.
When someone asks, "Why are you so dressed up?" you tell them the truth:
Because my heart matters.
Happy Wear Red Day.
