Watch out for triclosan, parabens, fragrances, sodium lauryl sulfate, and polyethylene glycol (often listed as PEG) in your shampoos and conditioners. Safe alternatives include products by Beauty Without Cruelty (BWC), Maia's, Annmarie Gianni Skin Care, Face Naturals, and The Honest Company. Clean your clothes without poisons. Always avoid products with labels that say "warning," "danger," or "poison." Forgo fabric softener and instead add 2 cups organic vinegar to the wash. Safe alternatives include detergent by GreenShield Organic, Dr. Bronner's, Seventh Generation, and Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day. [2019] - Mira Calton

For example, $10,000 of eligible dividend income would have a gross-up of 38% of $3,800 and result in $13,800 being used in calculating total and net income. That increased income could serve to erode things like the age amount and OAS benefits or even to move the recipient into a higher tax bracket.  [2019] - Daryl Diamond
