<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I sit here and wait for the election results to come in and I&#8217;ve already bit a nail, removed the polish and ate some chips today, lol, I can&#8217;t help, but think of one thing. I&#8217;m fortunate to live in a nation where I have my freedom of speech and the ability to use my voice. That&#8217;s exactly what I&#8217;ve been doing, since I could mutter my first words! </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you would have told me 10 years ago, that I would be working for myself, pushing cosmetic reform and leading a team of badass entrepreneurs, I would have laughed in your face! I always thought I would forever work long production hours, making not so great pay and finding someone to look after my children. I couldn&#8217;t be more proud of the company I work for, especially now. Beautycounter is affording men and women the opportunity to stay at home with their children during a worldwide pandemic, while fighting for #betterbeauty laws and making a significant income. It&#8217;s not lost on me that working in this sort of industry takes dedication, it takes grit and it takes so much confidence in yourself to continue to forge on. This year, Beautycounter&#8217;s CEO Gregg Renfrew was chosen to testify as an expert witness on Capitol Hill in a landmark cosmetic reform hearing. That is HUGE! So much so, because a federal law hasn&#8217;t been passed since 1938. Companies aren&#8217;t required to disclose the ingredients that make up a product and only 30 ingredients are banned from the list as it stands. Although The House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee passed The Cosmetic Safety Enhancement Act and California has passed The Safer Fragrance Bill and Toxic Free Cosmetic Act, we still have a ton of work to do! For now take a look at all of the accolades Beautycounter has managed to get under our wings. Enjoy this little video put together by the #bcdolls. </p>
