The toothbrush blues.


I was unfortunate enough to catch the oooogy sickness going around last week. Being a germ-a-phob I make it a point to replace my toothbrush immediately after my ooogy sickness has gone away or anytime my toothbrush is compromised (falls on the ground or in the sink--a simple rinse of water does not suffice!!). I finally realized how destructive my habit could be to the environment, so I set out to find a quality eco-friendly toothbrush, and find I did!! Preserve sells an awesome toothbrush made entirely from recycled yogurt cups. This product is BPA free, made in the USA (meaning less fuels are used transporting from country to country AND it helps keep jobs in the US), and my personal favorite part about this product... it is NOT tested on animals! There are tons of great colors available as well as your choice of bristle firmness. They also have a jr toothbrush for the kids. Their products can be found at Trader Joe's, PCC, Metropolitan Market as well as many other stores. Check out their whole line of personal care products and other awesome recycled items on their website.

If you're in the market for other bath products check out Satsuma Designs' all new, all natural bamboo washcloths. These washcloths are ultra soft, ultra absorbent and a great way to wash up tiny faces after washing tiny teeth :)

Happy brushing!

Defending Baby's Teeth from Green


I discovered these great all natural baby and toddler tooth wipes from My Dentist's Choice at One Mommie Goodie today. What a great idea! My tried and true method for cleaning our son's teeth is to basically put him in a gentle head lock and run the brush over top and bottom in all of 1.5 seconds. With these tooth wipes life could indeed be easier.

It says they're flouride, paraben and sugar free, which sounds like they've taken all the fear out of an already intimidating ritual. Yay!
