L-R: Clean slate flawless, Clean slate poreless and Clean slate 360 Creaseless
First of all - I love Tarte because I love the idea that it's supposed to be natural - the fewer chemicals there are, the better, right? My friend's mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer many years ago and survived after having surgery to remove all her female reproductive organs. My own grandmother had thyroid cancer 4 years ago, which luckily, was quickly treated. She is due for another full radioactive body scan beginning of October because you are not in the clear until 5 years has passed. My great-aunt (who wasn't that old due to the fact that my grandma had a large family AND was married early, thus me having "Aunts" and "Uncles", or what non-Asians would say, second cousins, being the same age as me) died of a tumor in her brain about two years ago. An uncle (mom's cousin), a man whom my brother looked up to greatly, died of a relapse of cancer (he originally had leukemia, which he defeated many many years ago) in his blood. Strange right? It happened nonetheless, around 5 years ago. My own grandfather on my dad's side, despite being a smoker, did not die of lung cancer, but of liver cancer instead (not even a heavy drinker).
Regardless as you may be able to tell, my run-ins with cancer near my family means that I prefer not exposing myself to too many chemicals, if possible. No, I am not a "hippie" who will go green and am an environmental purist. I just try and find ways to expose myself to fewer toxins. Why do I think that I just dug myself a hole here? -_-" Someone's going to have something to say about that, but you know what, that wasn't the point of this entry anyways.
