Can RFK Jr Make America Healthy Again?

Image
     Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been chosen by President Trump to oversee the Department of Health and Human Services. Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. or RFK Jr. as he’s affectionately nicknamed, hails from the very promininent and politically involved Kennedy family. He has a great legacy to uphold as the Kennedy family has so strongly and positively impacted the historical and political landscape of the United States. That family has experienced so much tragedy amongst its members but they’ve managed to overcome. The matriarch and patriarch of the Kennedy family, Joseph and Rose must be smiling down with joy about the impact that their entire lineage has made on society.

A mastectomy is one of the most life changing surgical procedures that a woman can go through. It is the surgical removal of a woman's breast. Angelina Jolie recently made headlines with her decision to undergo a double mastectomy because of a faulty gene that exists in her genetic makeup.

Nourish Organic Review

I discovered Nourish Organic last year while on the never ending hunt to find THE best natural deodorant.  The very first thing that I noticed about Nourish Organic was the official USDA organic symbol that was right smack on the front of every single product in their lines.  This is the only USDA organic skincare company that I know of at present.  Of course there are other beauty and skincare companies that may have one or two USDA certified organic products in their lines and collections.  However, every single product of Nourish Organic is USDA certified organic and that is absolutely wonderful and very essential.  There are too many skin and beauty companies claiming to have organic products without an official USDA symbol on the product.  I wholeheartedly support and recommend this company to all conscious consumers! Let's start by talking about the packaging of the Nourish Organic deodorants.  They are beautifully and colorfully d...
