Greenwashing 101: What Companies Will Do To Get Your Dollars

Posted on: Nov 4, 2011

Filed Under Chemicals, Green Mama | 30 Comments

I was lying in bed last night watching Vampire Diaries (don’t judge me… I like angst ridden teen television.) when a commercial for Pantene Nature Fusion Shampoo came on. It was the typical Eva Mendez flipping her unnaturally shiny hair around and pouting her big lips at me trying to sell me shampoo to make my hair [...]

Green Halloween: Costume Swap!

Like me, you might be hiding your head in the sand at the prospect of Halloween approaching. Because it represents not only candy and cider but the start of the holiday season, which I am so not ready to accept. But it will inevitably arrive. Luckily for me I have 2 boys and will be [...]

I know, you’re thinking “Back to school already? It’s still JULY.” But, some of you can relate to me because my son starts Kindergarten on August 8th. Which is so bizarre to me having grown up in New York where school was a distant thought until Labor Day. Anyway, so since many kids will be [...]

Living in the south, we’ve been beaching and swimming for a while so it’s not new to us but the rest of the northern states are gearing up for heading to the beach, lake, river, or wherever you spend your leisure summer days. So while you’re packing up your big floppy hats, umbrellas and filling your coolers with snacks, you can add some other summer aides to your pile to make your summer fun and safe.

Have An Eco-Friendly Easter!

For those that do celebrate the Easter holiday and engage in the traditions of Easter Baskets and egg hunts I have compiled a few things I indulge in for my kids (and myself – I like treats too!) for the holiday. Since this is a manageable holiday and doesn’t require a ton of planning, I [...]

Eco-Eggs Easter Egg Decorating Kit (& Giveaway)

Easter is coming! That means egg hunts, chocolate bunnies and egg coloring. One thing I’ve been anxious to try this year with my kids is exploring more natural ways of coloring eggs. I am just not comfortable using Red 40 and Blue Lake tablets that inevitably leak on to the egg inside and stain our [...]

GroVia Hybrid Cloth Diaper System & Giveaway

I mentioned in our last cloth diaper giveaway that I wanted to feature some of the new cloth diaper brands coming out on to the market. I sadly admit I never quite got hooked on cloth diapering but mainly because I never really found a style that worked for me. So in an effort to [...]

Organic Clothes for Kids from Levana Naturals (Giveaway!)

Finding organic clothing for kids is not an easy task… in fact on a day to day routine of errands, I don’t come across them at all. I think once there was organic baby clothing at Target but down here in the south, there just isn’t an abundance of options, unfortunately. So we have to [...]

I’m sure you’ve been there… at a birthday party or a festival and the kids want their faces painted like a tiger or a butterfly. They sit patiently for what seems like the first time ever, while you twist and writhe inside thinking about the awful ingredients being put all over their face. That stuff [...]

I had a chance to learn about the Hopscotch Kids brand at the Green Soiree earlier this month. As a girlie girl, I was so impressed with their story and their products that I was excited to share them with you. I had but one problem. I have two boys. Neither of them were willing [...]
