Banana Republic Cool Linen eye candy

Banana Republic Cool Linen

This came via e-mail the other day. The bad part is that I didn’t note which company it was from so when I went to put it online and was trying to remember I thought it was Ann Taylor Loft initially, then I tried J Crew, THEN I realized it was Banana Republic. Anyway – cute business jacket belted that way. Not your ordinary bland and boring but also not so over the top you couldn’t wear it.

“Organic” and “Natural” not always good…

A newly released study commissioned by the Organic Consumers Association (OCA), a watchdog group with over 500,000 members, and overseen by environmental health consumer advocate David Steinman (author of The Safe Shopper’s Bible), analyzes leading “natural” and “organic” brand shampoos, body washes, lotions and other personal care products for the presence of the undisclosed carcinogenic contaminant 1,4-Dioxane. A reputable third-party laboratory known for rigorous testing and chain-of-custody protocols, performed all testing.
