Recently I found myself in a place where after working a full day or running for hockey on the weekends that all I wanted to do was take a couch & tv break. The problem wasn’t taking the break itself (maybe a couple times a week for 30 or 40 minutes), the problem was that I was thinking about it…

You might find that your personal care products contain one or probably more of many possibly dangerous ingredients.
