It has been awhile since I wrote anything but it is time to break the silence, and with one of my favorite topics. How utterly odd our modern world is.
The other day I went to drop pick up my nephew from his new day-care class in a school of 150 kids. As always my Virgo eyes scan for danger and toxins hiding in plane site.
Sadly I wasn't surprised when near the sink I noticed hand sanitizer, soft scrub antibacterial soap, and dawn dishwashing liquid.
We live in a world where exposing our young to toxic chemicals in not only legal but often way too common.
If you are thinking how much hard can these products really have? Take a breath!
