Green Pregnancy Must-Haves

Amanda — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 10:28:00 -0700

Chose organic pregnancy-friendly body products like the ones by Lu Sa or Earth Mama Angel Baby.

Both make a line of organic and nontoxic products for pregnant and postpartum mamas as well as their babies. Any of their products would be great choices.

Because cotton is the most heavily pesticide coated crop in our country, it is important to wear organic choices when pregnant. Hemp, bamboo and wool are other options. Avoid synthetic fabrics as they are made with chemicals. To add softness, waterproofing or any other attribute to textiles, chemicals are used. These can be absorbed through the skin being the body’s largest organ. In addition, we can inhale them. Most of us are wearing toxins every day without realizing it.

If you look, you can find some very stylish choices made from organics.

	Japanese Weekend- the organic cotton yin yang top This top is gorgeous and organic. What is not to love? The gathering on the sides and front paired with the diagonal front seems make for a very slimming look. This works by drawing the eye upward while gently hugging your bump.
	Annee Mathew Front-Rouched Bamboo Top found at Maternique.com. This is a must-have for obvious reasons. Gorgeous. There are many more lovely organic finds to be had at Maternique.com! Check it out mommas. It is one of my favorite orgnanic maternity shopping sites.
	The Buxom Organic Maternity Bra by Majamas. This will serve as a great nursing bra as well, but for now, it is a comfortable option for pregnant breasts. You can even sleep with it on and it is recommended to wear a sleeping bra to avoid too much stretching of the breast tissue. This one is perfect. Find it at NurturedFamily.com

An organic body/ maternity pillow. The bigger the belly, the trickier it is to find the right sleep position. Curling up in a contoured pillow like this will work wonders but be mindful of the fibers and fabric used. Since you’ll be sleeping 8 hours with this pillow, make sure it isn’t full of chemicals.

Organic sheets and blankets are important as well for the same above mentioned reasons. Lifekind.com has a great selection of organic bedding and nontoxic mattresses. So does Naturepedic.com.

Green Smoothie Revolution – Trust me ladies, this is the easiest and often times most pleasant way to get in all the superfoods so crucial for proper body function. Green smoothies can taste quite delicious or quite terrible and since the ingredients aren’t cheap, better to have a recipe book handy when you begin blending. Infact, today I fell victim to a chlorella smoothie mishap and choked it down because it was too expensive and too nourishing to throw away. Needless to say, I did NOT follow a recipe. Let’s all to learn from my mistake because…. Ewww!

An organic mindset. Eat, sleep and wear organic when pregnant. Since you are on thegreengirls.com, you may very well be doing some if this already and your baby is so fortunate to have you as his momma! He will be exposed to less pesticides, flame retardants, parabens, PVC, phthalates and PBA in utero because of your positive choices. Feel good about that. It’s empowering to take such good care of BOTH your sprout and yourself.

An eco makeover for my cosmetics

Brenna — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 14:26:00 -0700

A quick look around your local grocer and it’s pretty obvious that we’re far more conscious today of what we put in our bodies. Whether it’s buying more organic foods, cutting down on high fructose corn syrup, taking supplements, or even hitting the juice bar in lieu of a burger joint, we’re doing more to take care of ourselves. If you're anything like me, you're a but neurotic when it comes to reading ingredient labels and looking fororganic certifications.

Yet how conscious are we of what we put on our bodies?

Did you know that an estimated 4lbs of toxic chemicals are absorbed into our bodies each year through the products we lather on. Our skin is the largest organ we have, and at less than one inch thick, it’s incredibly permeable. So all those lotions, washes, masks, cosmetics – the things that make us feel beautiful and rejuvenated – are absorbed into our bodies. And without the equivalent of a liver for our skin, there is no filter to prevent those toxins from entering our blood circulation.

It’s enough to make your skin crawl.

So I recently embarked on cleaning out my makeup kit. I ditched everything with ingredients I couldn’t pronounce. I’ve slowly started to rebuild my cosmetic collection, this time buying mineral makeup that skips the toxic, carcinogenic stuff.

It hasn't been a fast process - there are a lot of cosmetics out there now claiming to be natural, but once you start to dig into those claims, the greenwashing becomes apparent, fast. But in doing so, I’ve also discovered upon some great products and learned that not only do they do what I’ve come to expect of makeup, but they also bring with them some great natural benefits. Most mineral makeups contain titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and iron oxide, mixed with pure pigment. Titanium and zinc are natural anti-inflammatories known to have calming and soothing effects on the skin – notably beneficial if one suffers from inflammatory problems like acne or rosacea. Furthermore, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide both act as a natural sunscreen and these minerals do not support bacteria growth – what more can anyone possibly ask for in natural makeup?

These are some of my favourite picks so far:

Raw Mascara: I discovered raw mascara that is made from 100% natural, botanical ingredients like bees wax and aloe. It does all those things mascara commercials tell us it should do – silky, non-clumping and non-smudging – but skips the toxins.

Mineral Eyeliner: Eyeliner is my weakness when it comes to makeup... smouldering eyes are a must have for a Friday night out. So when I found Earth Labs’ eyeliner with ingredients I can pronounce, I was thrilled.

Foundation: I’ve heard people say mineral makeup doesn’t live up to conventional formulations, especially foundation... NVEY’s line is a worthy challenger. NVEY mineral makeups are a dream... the Eco Creme Deluxe Foundation evens out my skin and tackles even the darkest of under eye circles. All natural, its base is formulated to soften and soothe the skin while antioxidants protect the skin from free radicals.

What’s your favourite mineral makeup find?
