California Baby Sunscreen

Green Earth Market Striped Scarf

I’m the girl who is always cold and who needs a little something over her shoulders whilst inside (especially in the middle of summer when the air conditioner is blasting). This really cool (no pun intended) striped scarf from Green Earth Market is just what I need. The stripes make it interesting but its basic look complements almost anything. It’s made in Romania from organic hemp and comes in a variety of colors. Day or night, I toss it in my bag and I’m good to go.

($33.95, www.greenearthmarket.com)



Pure Lemon Shea Body Butter

Harrison’s Bird Bread Mix

My two boys love to visit our local bird store (Bird Jungle, www.parrotmountain.com, for anyone in New Jersey), and one day, I gave in to the never-ending “pleeeeeeease Mommy” and purchased an Umbrella Cockatoo, Marie-Antoinette, for them (we have a parakeet, too, named Robspierre, but let’s not go there). Being that we live in a “green” house, I set out on a mission to find organic bird food for her. She absolutely loves Harrison’s Bird Bread Mix (I have a cooking/baking fetish; see my new column, “Kitchen Quickie”). I love this product because my boys can take a hands-on role in Marie-Antoinette’s feeding and well-being. We sometimes add extra fruits and/or nuts to it and it becomes a special “cake” (ya know, “let them eat cake”—sorry, I couldn’t resist).

Gaiam's Dryer Balls

WaterColors Nail Enamel

Being a super-busy working single mom really limits the time I have to pamper myself. Alas, my vanity often gets the best of me and I take a break from whatever work I’m doing and give myself a pedicure (never mind the manicure—I’m always doing dishes, so the polish inevitably chips within a day). I found the best organic nail polish on the market: WaterColors Nail Enamel. This virtually odorless polish comes in a variety of beautiful colors and lasts a long time. I love the fact that it’s formaldehyde- and solvent-free—so I don’t feel so guilty about goofing off.
