    Tawnee, I love your New Year’s goal to clean up not only your diet but your cleaning and cosmetic products. I have been in the process of doing that myself for that past year or so. I am still searching for organic skin care products; have tried several but continue to search (this is a challenge for me since I’m older and really need products that combat aging). Keep up the great podcasts!
