Natural
Selection
We
may pat ourselves on the back for serving organic milk and opting
for homeopathic remedies, but many of us turn around and unknowingly
expose our kids to a variety of toxins in the home. From cleaning
products to furniture, paint and even cotton – all have the
potential to create less than ideal conditions in our households.
A little readjusting seems to be in order.
Sagebaby began about a year ago as a trunk show – one filled
not with designer fashions, but with lots of environmentally friendly
products for baby. In other words, everything that's good for you
and your family like organic clothing, bath items, blankets, towels,
bedding, air purifiers – even gift items such as crib sets
hand-embroidered with whimsical animals.
Now to help busy parents live au natural, Sagebaby has just launched
an online shop. The two Manhattan moms who started it all have searched
high and low for the purest products they could find. Francesca
Olivieri comes from a family with a long tradition of environmental
activism (her grandmother was a leader of Scenic Hudson,
a group focused on protecting and preserving the Hudson River),
so being green is nothing new to her. Her partner, Susan Gluck-Pappajohn,
was a dancer with the New York City Ballet, so she knows a lot about
what makes a healthy body. They've joined forces to create Sagebaby.
You may find yourself shopping at Sagebaby not only for the earth-friendly
wares, but also for useful information on why we should be selecting
healthier alternatives.
After all, when it comes to our little ones, it's only natural to
want the best.
Available online at sagebabynyc.com.
