rechargeable batteries

I guess it goes without saying, but kids have toys and those toys take LOTS of batteries. Even toys I used as a kid that did not need batteries then, now need them. We finally started switching over to rechargeable batteries. We bought one battery charger for $20, but it didn't work very well and I took it back. We purchased the same brand charger for $30 and it is much better. It tells you the progress on how the batteries are charging on the digital display. The batteries that belong with the charger are pretty expensive so we're hoping other brands will come out soon for less. If you are looking to switch to rechargeable batteries save some time, then buy the Energizer $30 charger. The batteries charge quickly and it works great.

I can't pronounce this ingredient

Ever wonder what that unpronounceable word is in your cosmetics ingredient list? Ever wonder if it's bad for you? I found a website that will tell you. It's by the Environmental Working Group at http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/ You can search by ingredient or by the company who makes your sun screen, make up, etc. I try to take some of the things with a grain of salt, but the website is pretty cool if you want answers. Check it out.
