Choose Wisely!
Dr. Marisa Weiss published the article below about environmental toxins and the link to breast cancer. This is why I am a holistic health coach and why i sell Ava Anderson Non Toxic products. (Though she doesn't talk about stress in this piece, it's also why I became a one on one provider of HeartMath.) I agree with Dr. Weiss -- Enough Already! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/marisa-weiss-md/breast-cancer-prevention-mandate_b_2807941.html
Control what you can:
You can't eliminate all toxins from your environment, but you can make wise, informed choices and reduce the toxins to which you are exposed.
Before you buy, look up your products on the cosmetics database

Be an informed consumer!
Consider a homemade natural solution. Or consider Ava Anderson Non Toxic (www.avaandersonnontoxic.com/wendylkuhn)
Read Labels
Claims of Pure, Natural or Organic may not mean anything. You need to look at the ingredients list on the label

All ingredients may not be listed on the product, but it's a start. You can also look up ingredients on the Environmental Working Group's site (www.ewg.org) or look up the product online and see what you can find.
While you are thinking about the Environmental Working Group, download their free "dirty dozen" app and look up produce when you are shopping to make wise decisions about what to buy organic.
