• Who am I?

    I am Qrystal, a physics grad student who enjoys writing: for herself, or to help other people learn things. When I am done my degree, I'll finally be able to allow myself to start following my desire to write and tutor and spread my joy of understanding physics.

    I don’t wear makeup often, and nail polish only rarely.  Now I’ve got good reason to avoid most nail polishes:  there are three dangerous chemicals to avoid, according to Green Living Online!

    Today, I am shopping for a friend of mine who I *know* will be at least as concerned as I am about toxins — plus she has two little boys who she wouldn’t want to expose to unnecessary poisons!  I’m glad I found this article, so I can make an informed polish purchase!

    Other articles at Green Living look pretty awesome and informative, too!  I’m going to have to explore further.

    UPDATE: There’s also an article on chemicals in makeup, and it lists places that the chemicals are already banned (and thus there is probably a good reason to avoid them).
