Top 10 Ways for Kids to Do Better in School

AM I BLUE?

Childhood depression and anxiety are on the rise. And numerous studies now suggest that those blue feelings may be coming from blue food coloring, and red, and yellow….The chemicals in fake food have side effects.

Commonly used food additives may affect behavior. You wouldn’t give your kid a beer for breakfast and then wonder why he scored badly on a test, but in many ways that is just what we are doing, serving them chemical time bombs in the form of “nutritious” lunches.

Green Day

Man, it's amazing to leave a day's work and see palm trees swaying outside. But forget that beauty, what's going on inside the Natural Products Expo is even more gorgeous. Our very first appointment was an interview with fashion bible WWD. I really enjoyed talking about the significant difference that clean and safe body care can make for our youngest citizens, and highlighting the positive differences in our new Green Babies line: no parabens, no sulphates, no petroleum by products, YES certified organic botanicals, YES 50% post consumer recycled packaging, YES mom-friendly bottle shape, YES big bubbles, YES retail price points far below any other great clean lines in the marketplace.


A plethora of goodness followed with retailers and old friends in the industry visiting to welcome our newest addition. The day wrapped up with an interview of me by one of my greatest heroes, Peggy from Mothering Magazine, an amazing force for good and a powerful advocate for children, it was a great great day and a Green day. I hope yours was wonderful, too!

We are birthin' more babies-Green Babies!
