Fashionable, sustainable and functional are 3 words to describe my new wood watch from JORD!  I have never been much of a watch wearer but since receiving the ELY in black I have worn it everyday and it goes with everything this green mama wears!  I love how unique this watch is and I feel it makes a statement about my green lifestyle.  With JORD Wood Watches you can show off how eco-friendly you are or let your uniqueness shine.  You can make your own statement with a  beautiful watch made from 100% all natural wood from JORD Wood Watches.  

JORD has a design to match your distinctive style and offers many fashionable wood watches for men and women.   They use a variety of natural and sustainably sourced wood from across the globe. Their collections of watches feature bamboo, maple, sandalwood, blackwood, cherry, zebrawood, and koa.   The watch I received, ELY Series in black, can be worn by anyone and is a medium sized watch.   I love the design of this watch and how the wood grain can be seen beutifully!  The Ely is understated and effortless.  You have 4 options of wood for the ELY Series: Cherry, Black, Natural and Natural Green & Maple.

I was concerned the wood watch would be heavy to wear but it is so lightweight .  Actually, I could not believe how light and comfortable it is to wear.  The stainless steel clasp is high quality and easy to use.

I have worn it with casual outfits when I play outdoors with my boys. It also looked great when worn with a dressier outfit.  I think JORD wood watches are a great accessory for anyone wanting to wear something unique.

I was highly impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of my JORD wood watch.  My JORD watch is a watch that gets noticed, a conversation starter, a statement piece!

Sustainable, efficient, simple, and influenced by experiential living.

This Green Mama is definitely a “Choosy Chick” and proud of it!  I also strongly encourage others to be a Choosy Chick (or Dude) too!  Why do I consider myself a “Choosy Chick”?  About 7 years ago my eyes were opened to the fact that many companies are exposing us all to toxic chemicals and possibly harmful ingredients in our day to day products.  Many consumers trust these companies and the government to make sure they are providing us with safe products to use in our home.  The fact is, the American government doesn’t require health studies or pre-market testing of the chemicals in personal care products, even though just about everyone is exposed to them.  Ultimately, it us up to the consumer to make informed purchasing decisions and shop at responsible retailers, like The Choosy Chick.

The Choosy Chick is an online boutique dedicated to selecting the most effective, toxic free health and beauty products for retail. They also serve as an educational resource for consumers who want to learn more about the lack of regulation in the cosmetic industry, and the vast amount of beauty products on the market today containing toxic substances. The Choosy Chicks website is really easy to navigate and find the information you are looking for.  

The Choosy Chick offers safe and effective health and beauty care products for the entire family.  They sent me a box filled with products for every person in my family to facilitate this review and show you their great selection.  I was sent 100% Pure makeup, DN-UNIK skincare products, ACURE soap and facial scrub, MAX GREEN ALCHEMY hair gel, JACK N’ JILL toddler toothbrush and toothpaste and SPLURGE SKINCARE repair balm.

I personally know how difficult shopping for truly non-toxic and safe products can be, especially considering the “greenwashing” and deceptive marketing tricks of companies. For instance, the words “Natural” and “Organic” on a bottle mean nothing and these products may contain toxic ingredients. I really appreciate retailers, like The Choosy Chick, who do the research and are up front about the products they offer.  The Choosy Chick  has developed their very own standard for ingredients which has become the foundation for product selections.  You can check out The Choosy Chick Standards HERE.

 I was very happy with the awesome products The Choosy Chick sent me and I was really impressed by the amazing list of trusted manufacturers The Choosy Chick offers. I was familiar with a few of the brands but I was really shocked at how many I had never heard of. Check out the all the brands The Choosy Chicks offers HERE.

The products I tried from The Choosy Chick all are working great for me and my family.  I really love the 100% Pure makeup. I had not tried it but heard from several other “green mamas” that it was great, and it is!  The skin care products all work great too. The ACURE  facial scrub is a great exfoliator.  The DN-UNIK serums smell heavenly and feel lovely on my skin.  The splurge Melted Buttha repair balm works great and has been working great for my son’s eczema.   My baby boy is loving his new Jack N’ Jill toothbrush and really enjoys the flavor of the toothpaste!  The product my family was most excited about was my husband’s and son’s new hair sculpting gel from MAX GREEN ALCHEMY.  The hair gel they were using before was gluten-free (husband and son have Celiac) but it was not organic like this formula and  extra bonus it is cheaper!!!  I will most certainty be ordering more of several of these products from The Choosy Chick very soon. 

With a great selection of trusted manufactures, fair prices, user friendly website and a goal to educate the consumer are all reasons I was very impressed with The Choosy Chick and recommend anyone looking for non-toxic and safe products to visit.  So, if you consider yourself a Choosy Chick (or Dude) or you are striving to be more informed about your purchases of safe and effective products for your home you should visit the natural online boutique, The Choosy Chick!
