Nobody would ever call me a slave to the cosmetics industry. I just can't be bothered to spend the time doing my makeup and putting goo in my hair - especially since I work mostly from home.
Also I often have only the vaguest notion of what the various lotions and potions are actually supposed to do (Uh, "antioxidant rescue serum"? "Skin Polishing Enzyme Treatment"? I recognize all the words in these names but still have no idea of the specific purpose of these things).
Maybe it's a good thing I'm not too fussed about them. It turns out that lots of cosmetics contain pthalates - chemicals that have been shown to mess with animals' hormone systems. Scientists aren't sure whether they could affect humans or not - but in rodents they cause reduced fertility, increased risk of breast cancer, cause premature puberty, and have even been related to bahavioural changes.
So wait - the stuff that we wear to make ourselves appear more sexy might interefere with the natural processes that regulate our reproductive system and sexual function?
That's messed up.

I recently checked out the john deere 4020 model, and it seems like a fantastic fit for my small vegetable farm. I also looked into the kubota b2601 due to its compact dimensions. Nonetheless, the john deere 4440 has received strong endorsements for more demanding agricultural tasks. Additionally, the john deere 790 stands out for its combination of power and efficiency. I’m now pondering whether the john deere 2010 could be the best option for my farm's expansion. Which model do you think I should choose?
