Now that I know how to link, I may overwhelm you with the great things I find- I mean, things my husband sends to me.
Take this, for instance. I am a local market kind of girl. I prefer things made small, sold small. I like to have personal connection with food growers and processors and entrepreneurs of all kinds. So I find this article troubling. I have grown suspect of things large: large government, large corporations, large fruit (come on; they really don't grow that big NATURALLY!). I don't like this, even if it does mean that these small companies can now have a diluted effect on a larger number of people (see page 4).
Here is the post.
And, if you are curious about the products you use, or are looking for healthier/safer alternatives, I suggest you visit this site.

I've been using a Burt's Bees night cream as a moisturizer lately. Unfortunately, the link wouldn't work for me, and now I'm paranoid! Is my face going to fall off?! ;)
I love it, Cara! That sounds JUST like something Calli would say! :) (The link didn;t work for me, either.) And congratulations on your engagement! Blessings!
Ill paraphrase: Burts Bee's sold out quite a while ago to clorox. Several other "local/organic" companies did as well. Everyone has a price. It kind of boils down to this; unless you make it yourself or actually watch someone make it, it is or will soon be bought by something really big if it's any good. And no your face won't fall off but it is now officially environmentally unfriendly. Don't worry we still like you just not the earth hater part ;)
Wow, this is depressing.
Really?? How can anyone comfortably and confidently put anything on their face (or body), when they know it's made by Clorox?? Okay...honestly--I'm still going to use up the rest of that jar of night cream. Frugal miser trumps earth lover in this battle.
