One of the things that I have seen change that warms the cockles of my heart is what is happening in the cosmetics industry.

When my three children were little, I took them to Rome. On our way to our destination, we went to see the Colosseum and returned to the car to find everything had been stolen. Trying to buy everything for a week, including clothing for three small, very tired children, was a low point in my life.
