Product Reviews

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!

We all know how important getting a good nights rest is but it can be difficult if you do not create an atmosphere to promote good sleep.  One way to disturb sleep is unwanted light creeping in from outside.  Whether, you sleep during the day or artificial light outside is getting into your room, blackout curtains can really help.  Blackout curtains not only keep out unwanted light but also help keep out noise and save energy by trapping heat when it’s cold out and keeping light and heat out during the hot months. 

Lush Decor offers a great selection of blackout curtains at an affordable price; you will find a style and print that will match and compliment your room decor.  You will find current trends, like Chevron prints, and timeless prints, like the Sophie paisley pattern.  Check out their entire selection HERE.

As many of you know that I LOVE to bake, espcially baking new gluten free recipes!  Now I can bake in style with A Greener Kitchen, they offer a line of organic cotton kitchen textiles. They use fair-trade certified organic cotton designed by one of the USA’s few eco-friendly textile artisans to create eco-chic products for retail stores, home kitchens, bakeries, restaurants, and more.

A Greener Kitchen is proud to be a Green America Approved Business.

I had the opportunity to review the Organic Cotton Full Apron in the B&W Whispering Grass print in exchange for my honest opinion.

The Organic Cotton Full Apron is available in several prints: B&W Whispering Grass, Evelyn/Chocolate Brown, Eyes of the World/Lime and Garden/Natural.

I love the vintage/ retro look of this apron! I really love the black and white print and the thick black trim on this apron. It is sewn well and features a convenient and rather large pocket that can hold utensils or your phone. I really like the thick apron strap; I hate skinny strings that cut into your neck!  This is pull over your head style apron and not the tie behind your neck kind.  I think this style is much more comfortable to wear.  The back tie straps are thick also.  I like the detail of trim around the entire apron, even around the pocket.  

Features:

• Eco-chic vintage style full apron for women
• Handmade in the USA with fair-trade, certified organic cotton
• Printed fabric dyed with water based dyes and pigments that have been screened for biodegradability
• Large side pocket to stash cooking utensils or to keep your favorite recipe handy
• Organic cotton aprons make great kitchen gifts
• Suggested Apron Care: For the lowest impact on the environment, hand wash or wash in cold water using an eco-friendly detergent and hang to dry.

I can’t wait to host a party at my house so I can be the “hostess with the mostess” in my new apron! A Greener Kitchen Organic Cotton Full Apron is a must have for anyone with a kitchen and wants to be eco-chic!

A Greener Kitchen also has other coordinating kitchen products; napkins, pot holders, table runners and more!
