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 !!)

We recently bumped into this fabulous company, which sells what we've dubbed as eco-bling ! Brilliant Earth was founded by then fiances Beth Gerstein and Eric Grossberg, as a desire to offer certified conflict-free diamonds as a safer alternative to current industry practices of "blood diamonds" (for those of you who have no idea what these are...we suggest you rent the movie, by the same name, so you get the picture. It has Leonardo DiCaprio as the leading role, so if nothing else entices you to watch perhaps HE will). They are based in San Francisco, CA and our highly committed to social and environmental responsibility.


How are they making a difference?

• Certified conflict free diamonds from Canada


• Fair labor and eco-friendly practices


• 5% of profits donated to help local African communities


• Unrivaled quality and customer service

So next time you're shopping around for an engagement ring or for "just-because-bling" -- go to: http://www.brilliantearth.com/








With all the latest news, research, and talk about opting to GO GREEN when it comes to anything baby....it's no wonder the pet industry has quickly caught on to this concept (seeing how pets are treated like human babies by many loving owners). Olive "Green Goods for Modern Dogs" offers an array of eco-friendly and whimsical dog products. I don't own a dog, but if I did...I would most definitely be shopping here.

Remember those white slip-on sneakers with the little blue rubber patch on the back that were quite the "must have" for all teens during the early 90's? Don't deny it, we all know you went crazy for them like the rest of us. Well, they're back ! Keds has just launched their line of earth-friendly shoes which incorporate 100% organic cotton upper (25% recycled), 25% recycled rubber outsole, and printing done trough the use of water-based inks. How's that for a retro twist on eco-fabulousness ?
