As dark and disturbing as The Hunger Games books are, they provide some fantastic discussion topics. One of my favorite scenes from the books is when Katniss relishes the hair growing back on her legs. I hadn’t much considered the cost of my own beauty routines until read Beauty Ethics and The Hunger Games written by Catholic author, Claire Bischoff. She explores American’s society’s expensive preoccupation with beauty and the other things we could be doing with our money.

Enjoy! or at least pause and think where you spend your beauty dollars.
