Colonoscopy prep isn’t fun, but it’s worth it. This lifesaving screening can reduce colorectal cancer risk by up to 69% and prevent cancer before it starts by removing precancerous tissue. In this blog, we’ll get real about the prep (yes, it sucks but it’s doable), the surprising warning signs you shouldn’t ignore, and the everyday foods that help protect your colon. We’ll also talk about why awareness ribbons matter—they start conversations that encourage screening and prevention. At Dream Maker Pins, we believe awareness + action saves lives.

Soft vs. hard enamel pins—what’s the real difference? At first glance, they look similar, but the finish, durability, and price make them unique. Soft enamel pins are textured, affordable, and allow for effects like glitter or glow-in-the-dark, making them perfect for artists or budget-friendly projects. Hard enamel pins are polished, ultra-durable, and sleek, ideal for fashion collections, professional branding, or premium drops. Both are amazing—choosing depends on your design and audience. We break down the pros, cons, and when to use each style so you can make the best decision for your custom enamel pin project.
