The biggest shopping event of the year, otherwise known as Black Friday, will take place on Friday 27 November this year.

As the event originally hails from America, the date always falls the day after Thanksgiving, and then is followed by Cyber Monday (30 November) which is traditionally the online-only day of the sale.

Although this year, because of coronavirus, the deals on offer will be found online.

With a range of retailers set to slash their prices on big ticket items like smart TVs and coffee machines, it’s the best time of the year to find a deal and of course, get your Christmas presents sorted.

Yes, perfumes can be classified as “natural.” A 2010 report from the Environmental Working Group found that some fragrance manufacturers “don’t disclose that many scents are actually a complex cocktail of natural essences and synthetic chemicals—often petrochemicals.” The reason for the secrecy is a 1973 act that requires companies to list cosmetics ingredients on product labels but leaves out fragrance.

It’s a little unsettling to think that some of your favorite scents might contain some not-so-great chemicals, but luckily, there are so many brands out there that are more transparent about their ingredients and are focusing on natural ingredients.

The relaxation does a grand job of propping up the financial institution accounts of the muse’s sleazy directors. The 2nd cancer research charity to make our list is the American Breast Cancer Foundation, a corporation arrange in 1997 with the intent of funding well being training and free breast exams for ladies. With hundreds of thousands of excellent Samaritans regularly donating a portion of their paycheck to good causes, charities are booming… unfortunately, not all of the cash going into them is coming out the way we predict.
