Moms Talk: True Beauty

Join our Moms Council as they ask just how to instill a belief in inner beauty in a world captivated by outer beauty.

Each week in Moms Talk, our Moms Council of experts and smart mothers take your questions, give advice and share solutions.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.

Here's this week's question:

Where do you draw the line when it comes to artificial beauty (makeup, earrings, clothing, etc.)?
