NFL Inspired. Environment Approved! New Eco-Athlete Line.

I brought my family with me to check out the new Origany Baby and Toddler organic Eco-Athlete Line. Origany has teamed up with Atlanta Falcons Ovie Mughelli to help launch the new clothing line! 

 

Origany, the company that specializes in Clothing Made Organic by Nature™, is the hip up-and-comer in the eco-conscious corner of the children's clothing world. Origany is proud to announce their partnership with Atlantic Falcons' pro Bowler Ovie Mughelli, to bring kids a clothing line that celebrates an active lifestyle and supports the environment. Muhelli, who is the number #2 Eco-Athlete in the world is also endorsing the line.

"We are very excited to be receive endorsement and announce our partnership with Ovie Mughelli of Atlanta Falcons," said Origany CEO Raj Sardesh. "Given his commitment to the environment and to the kids as part of his foundation, it was natural synergy and inspiration for our eco-athlete line that encourages all kids to be active and environmentally conscious."
 

Inspired by the Ovie Mughelli Foundation's commitment to teach kids how to take care of the environment, Origany launched an all new line of kid's sportswear. The Eco-Athlete line of baby and toddler clothing is the perfect fit for the future all stars of America. It features five different sports motifs including the classic pastimes of football and baseball, as well as bicycling, tennis, and the all round eco-athlete. Parents have a number of adorable options for babies including bodysuits, pants, rompers, jackets, and hats, as well as t-shirts, dresses,

and hoodies for toddlers. 

"The Ovie Mughelli Foundation is very excited about partnering with Origany," says Ovie Mughelli. "Origany's successful track record of creating very beautiful, eco-conscious clothing is a great match with the (Ovie Mughelli) Foundation's mission to encouraging Greener ways of living to kids. As tough as I am on the field as a power blocker Fullback, Origany's sportswear line inspired by me reaches the more gentle side of me. I'm confident that parents will find it loveable and perfect for their future all-stars."     Whether parents are looking to buy green or are searching for something in the unique and adorable category, each article of clothing is sure to delight. Origany's ensembles are always made from certified organic cotton so that sensitive young skin starts out safe and strong. By going organic, harmful pesticides are eliminated from closets and the environment. Children enjoy the soft, cuddly quality of the fabric, while parents can't get over how stylish the designs are.
 

In addition to endorsing organic living, Origany aids the Ovie Mughelli Foundation, which focuses on making sure "Our Future is Green". This charity supports the overall development of youth socially, mentally, and physically by implementing programs that educate children about the environment. Origany has decided to donate 5% of the proceeds from each Eco-Athlete sale, as well as 20% of the proceeds from each sale of Ovie's #34 affiliated outfits to the foundation.

Since 2006, Origany has been a purveyor of fashionable, organic clothing. Their eco-conscious lines of baby and toddler clothes are certified by Green America and GOTS, and can be found in boutiques throughout the country. In the past few years they have become one of the must-have brands for celebrity babies, earned the iParenting award, and had their baby alpaca toddler dress featured on the cover and named a top 10 must-have by Babies and Kids Magazine. They've started 2011 off strong by being named one of the top brands for babies and toddlers by BetterTV.

Sock Monster.

I do believe the Sock Monster is eating my kid’s socks. I can't find a matching pair to save my life!

I ignore patterns and just go with colors. Santa sock will go with solid red sock. Army pattern sock will match solid green sock.

They need to put magnets inside of socks so they stay together in the washing machine.

Although that may not be good for the dryer.

Think Green: Living in a Nightmare Economy

Let's face it; standing in the unemployment line is devastating. Nation wide, it's no short line either, wrapping around like The Great Wall of China. Getting the infamous pink slip can be terrifying, but even with the devastation of losing one's job, some people are turning their lives around and doing some serious soul searching to make sure that their next job is their dream job.

Is it possible to find your dream job? I posed this very question to Kim N. Carswell, who specializes in career transition and resume branding, "It is a very provocative question because most people want to work, feed their family and that's it. In other words…regain their dignity after losing their job. This is like the 2009 Box Office hit "Up in the Air", where a traveling executive's sole purpose was to fire employees. These times are a wake up call. This is a rebirth. After the global economy breakdown, we were forced to acknowledge that the era when one could work at the same company for thirty years has vanished."

But can you get a dream job in this nightmare economy? Kim believes that you can find what you want even in this tough economy by adding personality to your resume and searching for green jobs. "Although the current job market is full of talented, well educated professionals, it is easy to get discouraged with the job search process, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. No, it’s not a train; it's an opportunity to rebrand yourself for the vibrant 'Green Job Market'," she insists.

According to Newsweek magazine's 2009 Green Rankings (http://greenrankings.newsweek.com/top500) of America's Fortune 500 largest companies; Hewlett Packard, Nike, and Starbucks received top ratings for their environmental performance and changes in operations. Kim continued, "Keep in mind that all companies need marketing, accounting, communications and so on. Next time you go shopping look for the Energy Star symbol and visit their website to see if their hiring. So, let’s explore a positive approach to regenerating your employment dreams. Take a past or present downsizing, layoff, or outright termination and dream…Dream Green."
