I am happy to introduce one of our latest product lines at Green and Chic – Ilumina Organics.

When I first stumbled upon Ilumina Organics a few months ago, I was immediately impressed with the purity of the ingredients in their adult and baby product lines and the fact that they only use BPA (Bisphenol A) free packaging:

“Our bottles contain NO chemicals with estrogenic activity (EA). Chemicals with EA have been associated with serious health problems, especially with reproductive functions, growth and behavior concerns, and certain cancers.” –  Head to Toe Baby Wash bottle.

Though most of the products listed are specially formulated for babies in mind, children and adults with skin sensitivities can benefit as well.

The Head to Toe Baby Body Wash is a great example of a product that the entire family can use.  This sulfate free formula is extremely gentle, does not contain synthetic detergents, lathering agents and is even safe for baby’s eyes.  The scent is essential oil based that’s light and refreshing.  When I use this soap, my skin is clean, but never dry and tight.

At Green and Chic, we have the Head to Toe Baby Body Wash, Bottom Balm, Baby Oil and Belly Balm.

Low flat fee shipping and free shipping options!

When my third child experienced chronic diaper rash, I didn’t know what to do. My other babies rarely had diaper rash problems and if they developed a rash, Desitin (one of the best diaper rash treatment and prevention creams, in my opinion) did the trick to cure it within hours. So when all else failed to cure my daughter’s diaper rash (including lots of communication with my wonderful pediatrician), I felt like breaking down. My daughter was so uncomfortable and the sight of the rash was just awful. Keeping her bare-bottomed, as suggested by many, was simply impractical. In the end, after 3 months of struggle, my pediatrician told me about a product called Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. It’s an amazing product that finally cured her poor little sore tushy. To this day, my pediatrician and I are still unsure about the cause of the rash and why it took so long to heal. Almost 4 years later, I believe that if I had tried more natural remedies, her rash would have cleared up quicker.

The following are natural remedy tips for how to deal with a stubborn-to-heal diaper rash. These tips have worked successfully for many moms and they’ll hopefully work for you, too. Note: ALWAYS consult with your pediatrician first for the best advice about how to cure your baby’s diaper rash. Sometimes a baby is sensitive or allergic to something a breast-feeding mother is eating or to a certain formula, and that could cause diaper rash. Your doctor can help you create a diet to test sensitivity, or may recommend switching formulas. (I did the diet thing: no gluten, no dairy, no gassy vegetables. It was a huge challenge and didn’t help the diaper rash go away.)

1. Always change your baby’s diaper promptly.

2. To prevent diaper rash, make sure the buttocks and genitals are dry before applying cream or ointment. Always apply a cream or ointment after using wipes to clean up a messy diaper. Try any of the following creams. For newborns and infants, only a pea-sized amount or less is necessary: A & D Ointment, Desitin or Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. Calendula, Vitamin E and Naturity Organic Diaper Balm have also been known to work well.

3. Try a baking soda wash for the rash area. Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda in half-cup cup of warm water. Slowly pour over your baby’s buttocks or spray it on with a spray bottle.

4. Forgo conventional baby wipes. Instead, clean the buttocks with water, mild natural soap and soft-cloth dry wipes.

5. Switch diaper brands or try a natural disposable diaper such as Seventh Generation or Mother Nature.

6. Consider cloth diapers.

7. Wash cloth diapers in unscented detergent only and double-rinse before drying. Additionally, consider a natural detergent or make your own.

8. Give your baby as much diaper-free time as possible.

One of my faviorte bath and body lines I have at Green and Chic is Naturity. Though I mostly use the bath line, (no little ones here) the babyhood line deserves special recognition.

In December 2009, Naturity announced that its entire Organic Babyhood product line (Baby Massage Oil, Diaper Balm, and Baby Powder) received a “zero” toxicity rating-the best possible rating for a product in the Skin Deep database.

Organic Diaper Balm

The ingredients in the Naturitiy baby line all are free from additives and chemicals. They are made with the freshest organic ingredients, which means they are grown without chemicals, pesticides, and synthetic fertilizers. All products are also free from chemical preservatives such as parabens, and free from artificial perfumes, fragrances, colors, 100% natural and at least 99% certified organic.

Organic Baby Massage Oil

Naturity also believe in using eco-friendly packaging. For this reason, they chose glass and  metal containers for their products rather than plastic.

I am proud to officially launch Cherry Berry Handbags at Green and Chic!

I fell in love with Cherry Berry when I won a handbag from a giveaway hosted at  Be Blushless blog (which is also an eco-friendly wedding dress shop, by the way!)  I was first introduced to vegan leather handbags and accessories when I became an owner of my first Matt & Nat vegan leather purse several months prior. My initial fear was that “vegan leather” would look and feel too much like plastic, and it would be a compromise on quality.

Cherry Berry (and Matt & Nat) handbags is far from “cheap”.  The  materials on my “Vegan Leather Croc Handbag“ doesn’t look or feel much different than any of my leather purses.  When I first took the brown handbag out of the cloth sack, I actually had to smell it to make sure it wasn’t leather!  In terms of quality and durability, I know  it will stand the test of time – something that is very important to me when “investing” in a bag or purse.

When you order a handbag from Green and Chic, shipping is aromatically free!
