During the process of trying on new clothes, you are exposing your body to a plethora of chemicals that can permeate your skin. This can further lead to absorption of the chemicals from the skin into your body – which your body must process and eliminate. While the connection between toxins in your clothing and health issues is a little bit foggy, the studies that have been conducted against these chemicals found in the manufacturing of clothing have shown to be quite hazardous to public health and can include the development of cancer over a period of time. Although this is an extremely rare potential health effect, the likely health effects from these chemicals can ra...

The cold winter weather brings in frigid temperatures and an unbearably cold atmosphere in your home. Sometimes it may feel as though your home is colder than the swirling degrees outside, leaving you running to the furnace to awaken the heat, and even better igniting a cozy warm fire in the fireplace to thaw your freezing body. The fireplace is a commonly used item in most homes during the winter months when the weather is frightfully cold because of its wonderful ability to heat up an environment rapidly – which is exactly what you want when you and your environment are at freezing climates.
