Breast is Best

Jolie Maman or “Pretty Mommy” means every mother deserves to look and feel beautiful, especially when giving the most unselfish gift to her newborn: breast milk. This is the premise behind Joli Bebe Boutique’s new organic nursing wear set to launch next month. Joli Bébé Boutique is an online organic clothing retailer specializing in products for mom and baby. They are answering the cry from eco-friendly moms with the launch of their Jolie Maman nursing wear collection. “We have received overwhelming feedback from our customers regarding the need for nursing wear selections made from sustainable fabrics,” remarks Kristen Schwartz, owner of Joli Bébé Boutique LLC. The Jolie Maman nursing line brings together for breast-feeding mothers two elements that are lacking in traditional nursing wear: style and sustainable fabrics. Each piece is hand-designed by the owners, Heather Sinkwitz and Kristen Schwartz, who pull from their own experiences as nursing mothers to bring the best in nursing wear to their customers. Until now, the nursing mother had been forgotten, left to wear uncomfortable, unattractive styles during the most important period in her and her newborn’s life. Jolie Maman nursing wear was created to celebrate the nursing mother and enable her to feel like the “Pretty Mommy” that she is.The Jolie Maman line, available to larger retailers later next month, uses organic cotton and soy fabric blends. Soy is the new hot fabric of the organic clothing industry being called the “cashmere of organics.” “As a nursing mother to a two-month old baby boy, I take great pride in the design and color selections for this line, giving each piece its own WOW factor with color choices straight from New York’s high fashion,” says Sinkwitz.Joli Bébé Boutique timed their line release around October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month to remind consumers about the importance of breast health and breast feeding. Joli Bébé Boutique will donate a portion of each sale of their nursing line to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Some see October as a month of mild climates, changing leaves, and costume parties, but many like Joli Bébé Boutique remember the brave women who have valiantly fought the breast cancer battle. “I have witnessed first hand the devastation breast cancer can cause a family and, like my business partner, am proud to give back to such an important cause,” says Schwartz.

Celebrity Babies Wrapped in Organic Goodness

Celebrity babies will be wrapped in organic goodness. Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Garner, Gwyneth Paltrow, Brook Shields, Katie Holmes, Maggie Gyllenhal, and Gwen Stefani will all be wrapping their little ones up in soft organics this fall. Organic gift baskets sent by BabyBoutique.biz were delivered to each star featuring organic and fair trade products by Joli Bebe Boutique.com (www.jolibebeboutique.com) and Novica. This comes, in part, to help raise more awareness for the benefits of organic processes and products.Because of the increase in global health concerns, many actors and actresses have spoke out in recent years regarding the treatment of our earth and its inhabitants. With the early success of Bono's Red Campaign, the lead singer from U2 is set to make a huge impact on the treatment of AIDS patients in Africa. Such campaigns prove that Hollywood has great influential power when it comes to fashion and environmental messages. The impact each human has on the health of humanity is a growing concern. With the use of organic products, artisans, farmers, and manufacturers from around the globe are not exploited for their cheap labor and do not lack the use of equitable labor laws. Without the use of pesticides, synthetic and chemical production our environment and those in it can breathe and live healthily. Traditional cotton farming introduces various poisonous pesticides into our environment having detrimental effects on farm workers, vegetation, and wildlife."We hope by incorporating environmental education with our 100% organic products, that our customers will not only get the amazing quality they desire but the endangered species from around the world finally get the attention they deserve," says Kristen Schwartz, co-owner of Joli Bebe Boutique. Joli Bebe Boutique uses cotton grown organically by a group of farmers in India. The seamstresses work in a sweatshop-free environment to sew each piece and bring the line to life. It is important to Joli Bebe Boutique that all beings are treated with love and respect so each persond involved in the process is paid fair wages for their work. "In a day where bad news receives most of the press we hope doing the right thing will eventually lead us to business success" says Heather Sinkwitz co-owner of Joli Bebe Boutique.

Welcome Our Newest Giant Baby Panda

After seven years of trying and hoping, Zoo Atlanta officials announced a rare giant panda birth Wednesday, one of only a few in the United States

Lun Lun, a 9-year-old giant panda, gave birth just before 5 p.m. after 35 hours of labor. It's the first panda cub born at the Atlanta zoo and is just the fifth giant panda born at a U.S. zoo in the last six years.
The cub is hairless, weighs about 4 ounces and is the size of stick of butter. The sex will not be known for weeks.
Panda keepers will remain on watch for up to 24 hours to see whether the baby panda has a twin. Fifty percent of panda births result in twin cubs.
Lun Lun is responding normally to her new baby, holding the cub and reacting when it cries, said Dwight Larson, vice president for animal programs and science for the zoo.
The first few weeks of a cub's life are critical to its survival, Larson said. "These are small offspring and quite fragile," Larson said. "It's going to be tense for us."
Cubs typically take about 75 days to open their eyes. At 100 days, the zoo is planning a naming ceremony for the cub and to present it to the public.
After trying for seven years, the zoo successfully artificially inseminated Lun Lun at the end of March with semen taken from her male partner, Yang Yang. The father and cub are being kept separate, which is normal in the wild.
A panda cub at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., born last summer, was the product of artificial insemination. There are only 1,600 to 3,000 of the endangered species remaining in the wild today, and another 185 living in captivity.
Only three other U.S. zoos — San Diego, Memphis and the National Zoo — have pandas. Memphis has not been able to successfully impregnate a panda.

Make Your Purchases Count

Have you ever wondered what percentage of the wealthy or big businesses give back to the communities that support them. I always find myself thinking about this topic around the time of the Oscars or any other award shows when multi million dollar movie actors are receiving free merchandise and speaking up against our government.

I have been trying to stay engaged to our world issues by supporting businesses that support our environmental needs. I would love to hear about businesses who are giving back
