The Organic-Edgy-Boundary Pushing Wearable Art of Dominic Jones Jewellery
This what I want to carry and strap to my arms this fall. It may not go over very well at the PTA meetings in my suburb 'hood, but it'll quickly get the point across to everyone that I'm the COOL MOM!. ;)

Product review: Pretty Naturals Sheajoba Moisturizing Hair Food
When the owner/founder/CEO of Pretty Natural, LLC personally gifted me with a full-sized jar of this organic scalp moisturizer, I was beside myself with gratitude because I was sure the jar contained all the goodness of Mother Nature, blended into a scalp soothing concoction and I was sooooo right! I opened the jar and was greeted with one of my favorite scents-lemongrass. And this isn't the "scent" of lemongrass-it is the real thing: pure essential oil of lemongrass. The consistency of the concoction is that of hand-whipped butter. Silky smoothy and creamy. There is not one harmful ingredient in the entire jar! Pretty Natural is listed at Safecosmetics.org as one of the safest products in existence with a zero rating: the HIGHEST possible rating! The fact that it is primarily a black hair product and it is sold in Whole Foods, says it all.
Yet, unfortunately, with all the amazing things I could say about how well it works, the only thing you will notice when you peruse Whole Foods or the Pretty Naturals website, is how modest this brand is. The packaging totally underwhelms and the website is lightyears behind the bells and whistles you find on competing sites. Should this matter? No. Does any of these facts detract from its usefulness? No. But I can only dream of what a great publicist, graphic designer (for the labels) and website designer could do to give this fantastic brand the image it deserves. In a world of celebrity-driven product endorsements for crap that will surely make your scalp unhealthy or even possibly cause skin cancer, the good guy (Pretty Natural LLC) needs to keep up pace with a MUCH jazzier image to get the brand recognition it deserves.
Product desciption:
A unique blend of Organic plant oils, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and essential oils that work together to strengthen hair and add needed nutrients to promote thicker and healthier hair.
Ingredients: Shea Butter, Jojoba, Organic Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Beeswax, Vitamin E, Essential Oils of Rosemary, Chamomile, Lavender, Sage and proprietary blend of essential oils for fragrance.
Price: $14.95
