Baby For Real is a company specializing in skin care using natural ingredients for babies of color. These are unscented products which are especially important for baby’s delicate skin. Here is a sample of what’s coming very, very soon:

1.) Oil that can be used for relaxing baby massages, or that can be used in hair to bring out the shine and curl.

2.) Cleanser that can be used in both the hair and on the body.

3.) A diaper balm perfect for those cute booties.

4.) Straight from the nut organic shea butter, perfect for both baby and mommy.

Curly hair, dark hair, tanned skin… there are many babies of color out there with their own special skin care needs. Did you know that tearless shampoos have a drying agent that can dry out the eyes? Popular baby oils contain preservatives and scents that can promote allergies in babies? The products are all natural and unscented, so that they can bring out the natural beauty in babies of color.

The company will also host a blog written by select parents who are raising babies of color, product reviews, and other resources. This is all coming very soon, so be sure to stay tuned.

While the products are great for all babies to use, it is a one stop place for parents raising babies of color — oil that brings out the curl and/or shine in hair and cocoa butter and shea butter for skin, unscented and gentle baby soap. A little goes a long way as well! While babies do not necessarily need a skincare regimine, you want to make sure what little they do need is the best!

It also provides information and resources for parents who are raising babies of color such as blogs by parents raising babies of color and other relevent news. Baby For Real also hopes to provide links to helpful websites and organizations.

The company was started by two best friends. The company logo is designed after the son of one of the owners.

Having been “one of the guys” for so long, I pretty much have a pretty awesome taste in movies. Guys definitely have the edge on this one.

Pros:

1.) Zombies
2.) Bad ass Super heros
3.) Weird cult films
4.) old martial arts films

cons

1.) Pearl Harbor
2.) …. Pearl Harbor! Or is that a chick flick??

I’ve definitely scored with some hot guys having comic books under my belt. I mean, you definitely have the dudes who do not like comic books, and women who do not like men who like comic books. I would fall under the category of “Woman who PREFERS dudes who like comic books.”

Which brings me to Iron Man, which I only new about because Gwyneth Palthrow was on the cover of a recent issue of Vogue. Why? Her role as Pepper in this Favreau film.

I watched it the other day with my partner. Did I like it? Yes. Was I supposed to? Apparently not! At work today, I brought it up with my co-worker automatically assuming that she thought it was awesome.

“Did you like it?” she asked. “Yeah, I liked it, too. For a stupid guy movie. Guys are so into that movie.”

It’s like I got shot back to reality because I completely forgot about the movie aspect when it comes to being “one of the guys”. It is so important. But I must say, aside from the college and NBA basketball, it is one of the most fun parts. Swingers? Made? Dawn of the Dead? Audition? Lone Wolf and Cub? Come ON!

Why did I like Iron Man? Well, it definitely wasn’t because Ms. Palthrow was front and Center with a romantic side-plot. I mean, the guy makes a super hero suit/weapon of mass destruction. It is set with a very present-day feel complete with the guy from Hustle and Flow and stripper flight attendants on an airplane. What is not to love?

I love being one of the guys. This is a much better date movie than SATC.
