Happy (belated) Halloween! Hands down the best time of year. We get to play with costumes and eat candy...no matter what age. This is also the only day of the year where I would put mascara on my 2 and a half year old. She has strawberry blond hair so her beautiful long lashes are barely visible.  Even as I go to do it I pause, just for a moment. I am fairly conscious about my choice of cosmetics, so I know the ingredients in the mascara are natural, it has just been in my makeup kit for about a year now, which for cosmetics (I am learning) is too long.
Oh well, cuteness and convenience trumps possibly blinding my daughter with some bacterial infection. Sounds dramatic ...especially because us moms really do make these types of choices at least a hundred times a day. I want to be as informed as possible as I make these choices in the future and this is one of the million reasons I am writing this blog.
