If you're anything like me you probably go thru tons of lip balm every month - which means that if you've been using the conventional type your lips have endured years of exposure to nasty chemical ingredients. Well it's not too late for you to consider "greening" your chapstick. At Pangea Organics you can find all sorts of safe and organic beauty products. One of my personal faves are their natural lip balms made without any parabens, petrochemicals or synthetic ingredients.














With the recent birth of our second daughter, my husband and I were once again forced to tap our inner "interior design" streak and re-do the entire nursery....which now accomodates both our daughters Gabriela (2 yrs. old) & Sara (3 weeks old). Lucky for us, in just these past couple of years the availability of "green" house products has increased dramatically, so now eco-savvy parents have a wide selection of paint brands & colors to choose from.



Three of the best & our favorite interior paints are Mythic, Freshaire Choice & C2 LoVo. All three are non-toxic, have low or no VOC's (volatile organic compounds), and are free of cancer-causing chemicals....yet they perform just as well or better than any conventional paint. So if you're looking to do some remodeling or touch-ups in your home...consider choosing any of these eco-friendly products. They are safer for your children, pets & planet!

Talks about "going green" and "eating organic" have been around for a while...but in the last 2 years this topic has exploded and seeped into all industries and markets. Personally, I was one to not really pay attention to all the alerts, case studies, and statistics that were thrown around, but the minute I got pregnant with my first child (everything changed!). The thought of bringing my child into an unsafe and polluted planet...and feeding or dressing her in potentially harmful chemical/toxic materials - now meant a lot. So much, in fact, that NewBornMom was the direct result of two friends' (me and my biz partner) quest for safer product alternatives. After many months of intense research, we managed to become quite savvy on all things "green" when it came to our babies.


However, when it comes to my and my husband's diet - we haven't quite caught the "organic fever" yet. I guess in a way we feel like it's more important that our kids get the healthy stuff....while it's ok for us to eat whatever. Besides we're never really sure which products to look-out for and choose the organic version. Some studies say organic is really only necessary for certain foods (as the conventional versions pose a higher risk of health issues).... some say organic is only really necessary for children (during their important development years)....and some say that 100% organic is the way to go. It's no wonder that many people are as confused as my husband and I.


So after much reading, compiling of information, and in efforts to join our kids in eating as healthy as posible - we've decided to go "organic" with certain food groups. These foods, are the ones many experts have agreed their "non-organic" versions contain the most harmful chemical junk. I gladly share this list with all of you as mere information (please don't write me asking for any nutritional/medical advise as I clearly have none !!)
