Have you heard of FreshFaced.ca?
Admittedly I don’t always go for the “green” or organic product. I’m a consumer too so I guess I still need to be convinced and do my own research. While I completely see the benefits of choosing more natural products I don’t like to give into fear mongering either. There are also many people out…
