Cosmetics Database: How Harmful are Your Toiletries?
http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/splash.php?URI=%2Findex.php
Not just for Mom's. It's a free database that lists everything from foundation and lip gloss to shampoo and baby products based on harmful ingredients. Each product is given a number rating from 0 (the safest) to 10 (7-10 usually have ingredients that have been known to cause cancer and other illnesses). Plus, there is a handy parents guide just for kids products.

Tips on Preventing the Spread of Colds/Viruses.
Chances are most of us are indoors, breathing the same air with the heater on. Germs spread like wildfire in heat.
Here are some tips for families and friends to reduce the spread of illness; because we all want to be able to celebrate the holidays in good health.
1. Wash hands frequently. Hand washing is the #1 way to prevent the spread of germs. Those same germs act as hitch hikers on hands, making their was to things such as noses, eyes, mouth.
2. Reduce the heat in your house if possible; 63-65 degrees. If it seems too cold, add extra clothing. As stated before, the heat promotes the growth of germs.
3. Keep surfaces clean; soap, water and a diluted bleach solution are the best way to kill germs.
4. Keep your living space as ventilated as possible; an overhead fan on low with a window cracked are possible suggestions to keep air flow going.
5. If the heat is on; keep the air moist so that nasal passageways do not dry out. When the lining of the nose is dry, the chances of getting sick are greater. The use of a humidifier can help when the environment is dry.
6. Spend sometime bundled up outside enjoying the season. Less time indoors means less time inhaling the same stale air.

Ear Infections. They are NOT contageous.
I like to offer family and friends information from time to time that may be of assistance especially concerning health issues. However, since I am not a health professional and have only aquired my facts from various trainings and classes, once in a while I will provide a link which can provide further information on a topic.
