Hey Dagmar, your blog is so beautiful! I met you the other day at the ebates chat. :) So I have a question – I looked at the link about dangerous chemicals in makeup. But which products are safe? What do you recommend? Thanks!

Hi Missy, look up the cosmetics that have a rating of 1 or 2 and buy those :) That’s what I did.
Thank you so much for all this helpful info! I LOVE starting off a new week feeling more empowered!
