Earlier in the week, I presented a dilemma I had last year with the cosmetic industry. I was shocked to discover what we’re putting on our and our children’s faces, bodies, and even in our mouths (in toothpastes).

Each year, around this time, we make a monetary donation to a charity. It’s typically to an organization working in an area that has directly touched the life of someone we know.
