Protecting your pregnant friends, naturally
Today I was reading a back issue of one of my favorite new magazines and learned a few things. Maybe old news to many, but new to me. A very dear friend of mine is pregnant with her third baby, and a very busy Mom & business owner. I think I’m the “greenest” of my friends (its lonely sometimes). I learned that besides artifical chemicals, there are even a few natural ingredients that my pregnant gal pal should avoid including some essential oils! The April 2010 issue of Natural Solutions “Beauty for Two” by Erinn Morgan, goes into more detail… Let my afternoon lesson serve you as ammunition to protect not just yourself, but your friends future babies too! They tested a handful of natural skin care products and give...

Anti-Allergen Pet Shampoo- a NJ farmers market FIND!
We have a couple wonderful farmers markets in our neighborhood during the summer that I love to frequent.This year, I found a new vendor, “Absolute Green”. Well, Karen Halo (owner) may not be covered in pet hair, but you can tell she loves animals. She gave me quite the low down on whats important in pet shampoos, ear cleaner, and everything eco friendly for that matter. I was so relieved to find her pet products, I thought I’d share her with my readers with a review. That wonderful time of year is here again, and our furry friends are shedding. Yuck! I think I could crochet the pet hair and make a rug! Why do our pets shed? Some so much, and some barely at all? The experts say, that some dogs have a “double coat” the undercoat...

Smart Cookies!! An un-official “review” of sorts
Has anyone else heard of “The Original Smart Cookie” ? http://www.originalsmartcookie.com/index.html They are DEElicious!!! WOW! Ironic, seems like someone (manufacturer) was on the same page as the author of “Deceptively Delicious” by Jessica Seinfeld http://www.amazon.com/Deceptively-Delicious-Simple-Secrets-Eating/dp/0061251348 I bought the book a couple years ago, and after some serious thought, came to the decision to teach our 7 year old to EAT the food we were giving her, not HIDE it in her brownies! Back to cookies. So, I picked up a box of these cookies today at BJ’s to surprise our little girl. Unfortunately she didnt like them, but she does eat her zucchini, etc… See that, I wished for it, and it came true! I WILL be bringing these fabulous culinary masterpieces...

A (kid approved) Healthy Yummy Lunch!
Today’s healthy lunch, filled with vitamins, and kid approved too! My husband and i have been on the Isagenix plan now for 27 days, and in the program they suggest that you eat “real” food (not processed). So, I’m trying, really really trying to eat better & be a better “food role model” for her. Our little one was home suffering with allergies, so in hopes of boosting her Vitamin C, I made us both this lunch. I admit, I’m not a food photographer. So what is this delicious meal? Here’s the recipe: 1 whole grain flour tortilla (4 gr fat), warmed in a stainless steel pan (w/olive oi) saute 1 cup of “Broccoli slaw”, and add to your tortilla. Add 1/2 cup of reduced fat Shredded mozzarella to your tortilla. Flip your tortilla...

After all, its free advertising! So, friends, I ask you, do you Yelp? ...

A death in the family; how we teach our kids to cope.
Alexis on “Bluebell”: “He was the only blue fish I knew. All the other Betta fish I know are red. I dont understand what happened, but I know he’s in a better place now.” PHEW! Glad she took it so well!! I write this as our 7 year old is reflecting upon the past 2 years with her 3rd Betta Fish “Bluebell”. Although I dont see the fascination with these tiny fish (they dont talk or snuggle with you). They are pretty to look at. These are the things that happen when you have kids. It’s tough to explain death to kids. But I strongly believe it’s important. How else can they enjoy looking forward to things? Every Season is born, and dies, every flower, every pet and sometimes certain relationships too. So farewell Bluebell, you will be missed. Enjoy your last swim, and have fun...

Too many lies in the skincare industry!
I recently received a sample of a skin care product toting to be “organic”. This sample came from a MLM rep who was attempting to private label a brand and distribute it to Brides via a contest on twitter. Curious, I filled out their form, and received a sample. When I opened it I read their promotional insert that bragged about being a 100% organic beauty product. I thought, “I know this brand, they say they are natural, but they certainly dont say ORGANIC in their advertising”. I called a friend who IS an experienced Representative, and clarified the information. “Your right Jen” she said. “xxxxx company is not Organic, but Natural, and we don’t use blank, and blank and blank”. Oh boy was I mad! I know first hand how expensive it is to certify your business to be “Certified...
