Cleaning Products Come Clean?

It's about time cleaning products are held accountable for those "seceret ingredients" they've been hiding under their radars for so many years. There's no telling what toxic junk we have all been spraying in the air and on surfaces thinking we are doing good. In reality, we are doing great harm to ourselves and the environment. Not to mention the damage it could be causing to infants and young children. It's time more companies let us consumers know what we are really buying! http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/11/23/whats-really-in-glade-windex-and-pledge-sc-johnson-will-final/?icid=mainhtmlws-main-ndl3link4http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailyfinance.com%2F2009%2F11%2F23%2Fwhats-really-in-glade-windex-and-pledge-sc-johnson-will-final%2F.

Chemicals Found in Pregnant Women

No matter how dedicated you are to eating only organic foods and having the knowledge of dangerous chemicals found in everyday lotions and deodorants, preventing toxic chemicals from entering your blood stream and passing onto your unborn child is beyond your control! In a new study released today that tested levels of chemicals in pregnant women significant traces of PFOS(Telfon Chemicals), bisphenol A, mercury and phthalates were found. The womb,the environment that most needs to be kept safe, is not free of toxic pollutions. http://www.seattlepostglobe.org/2009/11/17/infuriated-mom-why-cant-i-protect-my-body-study-pinpoints-chemicals-in-moms-to-be

Bamboo Baby!

What Are The Benefits of Bamboo in Baby Clothes? When it comes to organic baby clothes, bamboo is the best option for babies. It’s naturally hypo-allergenic and anti-bacterial, it prevents odor, allergies, and skin irritations. Bamboo is an exceptional choice for parents that face the challenges of sensitive skin conditions such as eczema.
Additionally, bamboo is a thermal-regulating fabric, which is very important for newborns who naturally have difficulty keeping a consistent and comfortable body temperature. With the ability to keep your baby cool in the summer and warm in the winter, it's both a smart and economical choice.
For all of you green-minded parents out there, you'll be happy to know that, since bamboo is a grass that grows in the same way as weeds, it is the fastest growing plant in the world today; in fact, it has the ability to grow three feet in just one day! The most replenishable natural resource available.
Finally, if you're wondering how bamboo looks and feels, you're in for a pleasant surprise. It’s as soft as the most expensive Egyptian cotton and laundries well too!
