Juliane Camposano: Eco-Friendly Super Woman is The Conscious Mom's Guide? First "Inspiring Woman"
Christine Agro, Founder of The Conscious Mom's Guide? (TCMG) announced today that Juliane Camposano is the first to be featured in TCMG's Inspiring Women feature. The feature, in question and answer form, retains Agro's chatty, homey interview style, but condenses the interview into ten or less questions.
"Juliane is very inspiring to me" Agro said, when asked how she chose Camposano as the first Inspiring Woman, "I am so impressed with Juliane's commitment to the environment, her passion to manifest a dream, her humor and her love of her family."
Camposano has a full time job as a Creative Director for L'Oreal as well as being a wife and a mom to two boys. In her 'spare' time she recently launched Rosel which is an eco-friendly knitwear line. The clothes, designed by Camposano, are made from eco-friendly and sustainable fabrics including organic cotton and bamboo. Rosel emerged out of Camposano's personal need to find clothes that did not irritate her overly sensitive skin.
"I love the energy of The Conscious Mom's Guide site," acknowledges Camposano, "Christine has done a great job with TCMG and I am excited and a bit humbled to be the first profiled as an Inspiring Woman"
"Juliane is living her passion and manifesting her dream," says Agro, "the point of the Inspiring Women feature is to both celebrate women for who they are and to inspire the women who read the feature."
As a clairvoyant and natural healer, Agro has been working for 10 years with women one-on-one in all stages and phases of womanhood. She launched The Conscious Mom's Guide? in September 2009 to reach and support a greater audience, in a fun and interactive way. TCMG is a membership site, although basic membership is free and offers access to the entire site. The site includes articles and audio interviews done by Agro with experts from a wide range of fields. Unique to the site are HerScopes and KidScopes which are monthly horoscopes that offer insight, support and guidance from astrologer Kathy Biehl. Supporting members pay a yearly fee and gain direct access to Agro. Benefit Tips: Find Street Fashion Online(may be you can find what you want on the oasap.com) s include on-line chats in which supporting members can ask her anything, about pregnancy, health and wellness, parenting, relationships, pets -nothing is off-limits. Supporting members may also attend tele-classes and weekly meditations led by Agro herself.
"The whole site is designed to help women live life more consciously," says Agro, "and for those who can't afford to work with me one-on-one, TCMG Supporting Membership offers an opportunity to gain suport and guidance in a similar way."
For Media Only: to read the full Inspiring Women Q&A and to explore the site, please contact Christine Agro via email for a site username and password.

Copycat Fashions Launches a Purrrrfect Solution for Women Who Want Designer Custom Fashions at an Affordable Price
New York's Fashion week is here again and Copycat Fashions is pleased to announce the launch of their premier site offering women the ability to upload images of garments they want to have made or remade at a cost that will not break the purse!
Copycat Fashions grew out of the need to offer women American made, high end garments at lower prices. According to the Head Designer and Co-Owner, Denise Lasprogata, "After the recession hit, women were coming to my studio off of Park Avenue asking me to make them multiples of old designer pieces they owned or would even bring me tear sheets from high end retailers' catalogs asking if I could make something similar at a fraction of the cost. Word of mouth spread as I never advertised this service and month after month more women came knocking on my door armed with clothing to remake in various colors and with changes to the design. While these women were relatively well off "Park Avenue Ladies", they were not willing to spend what they used to. It appeared as though the consumer finally caught on that yes, the retail mark-up was breaking their purses and they were smart enough to seek out another means to get similar clothing items for less."
After several years of not only designing her own collection, but also developing a thriving business of redesigning and making clothing for women from tear sheets, magazine clippings and also original clothing women wished to have remade, Lasprogata linked up with her partner, Chad Phillips to extend this service online. The designer claims, "It is a financially sound solution for women who know what they want as most of my women do, but also do not want to spend an arm and a leg ge Tips: Find Street Fashion Online(may be you can find what you want on the oasap.com) tting it. Now women can request the color they want, select fabrics and make style changes as well. For example, I have had women tell me they want to remake a sleeveless blouse into one with sleeves to hide their upper arm or that red is a much better color on them so they want to change the garment color. After all, the fashion minded woman has her own eye and it is important to adhere to the customer's wishes."
So exactly how does Copycat Fashions work? To begin, the site has a few options and is easy to navigate. Consumers simply upload images of garments they want made. These can be images of garments from runway shows, magazines, catalogs, or for instance even a look they saw on the streets of Milan or Paris. After Copycat Fashions receives the images, the team reviews the cut and fabric option and sends back a quote for production. If the consumer agrees to the price, then the team goes to work. On average, they offer 30-50% off original garment prices. A second option is to submit pictures of a garment that one wishes to have remade. It could be that perfect dress that has been "worn out" too much or a pant with a perfect fit. Again, the team sends a quote for the item and if accepted by the consumer, they are asked to mail the original to the Copycat office on Madison Avenue. Finally, Copycat Fashions has an online design studio where women can customize their own garment. Each month Copycats Designer creates a new look for women to "play with" allowing them to add sleeves and collars as well as select shape and fabrics.
The Copycat Fashions team prides themselves on the fact that all production is done right here in New York City. While both owners are originally from Philadelphia and have both studied and worked in Rome, Italy, it is here in New York that they operate Copycat Fashions making American made fashions for the American woman!

Zappos Announces Espadrilles for the Whole Family
Zappos.com, the online leader in apparel and footwear, announces espadrilles as a hot summer trend. Zappos.com has espadrilles for men, women and kids in a wide variety of colors and fabrics to coordinate with any summertime outfit.
Identified by the rope braid around the sole of the shoe, the flat espadrille hasn't changed much for in the hundreds of years since it originated as a traditional Catal fashion coats an peasant shoe. The rope sole is now typically jute, rather than the native Mediterranean esparto grass for which the shoes were named.
Men may coordinate a pair of more traditional loafers in canvas or leather with any summer outfit. These simple slip-on shoes can stand in for flip-flops and work well with cargo shorts, chinos or jeans.
Given the easy-on, easy-off nature of slip-on espadrilles, they make great shoes for kids. They provide more foot protection than flip-flops and the same summery simplicity, without the hassle of lace-up athletic shoes.
For women, espadrille-style shoes are available as comfortable flats, mid-height sandals, platform sandals and soaring wedge heels. The casual, unassuming look of an espadrille wedge makes a towering heel totally daytime appropriate. While a tall espadrille that straps or ties at the ankle ups the hotness factor for summer evening events, the wedge heel stays more seasonally appropriate and comfortable than a stiletto heel.

How to Keep Kids out of the Emergency Room This Fall Safety Tips from Topical BioMedics
Kids are back in school, women's jackets with a busy schedule that includes extra-curricular sports, playground fun, and other activities. With kids spending lots of time outdoors, participating in leagues, and toting around heavy backpacks all day, strains, sprains, muscle pulls, and other mishaps are sure to follow. In fact, emergency rooms in the U.S. treat more than 9 million children each year for accidental injuries.
While injuries are a part of growing up, parents aren't always sure which treatment options are safe and effective for their children, especially given the side effects of many oral pain relievers and the allergic reactions many kids have to smelly, greasy topical ointments.
The potential of overdosing a child using oral pain medication can cause dire consequences—including irreparable damage to the kidneys and liver. The massive number of ongoing recalls of pediatric over-the-counter (OTC) medicines this year is further cause for alarm—especially those containing the active ingredients acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Topical OTC analgesic ointments are also cause for concern, containing volatile oils such as camphor, menthol, and other irritating and potentially hazardous chemicals.
Lou Paradise, president and chief of research of Topical BioMedics, urges parents to consider the following safety tips to help protect their children from pain and injury and keep them out of the emergency room.
--Children should have a physical exam before participating in sports and always wear the proper protective equipment. Be sure your child stretches and warms up muscles prior to activity to help prevent injuries.
--Make sure backpacks fit properly and have padded backs and straps. Children should wear BOTH straps and only carry what is necessary to avoid any excess weight. A backpack should weigh no more than 5% - 10% of the child's body weight, and never hang more than 4" below the waistline.
--Clothing and shoes should fit properly. Loose clothes can catch in playground equipment, and properly fitted footwear minimizes the risk of falling or tripping.
--Small children should be supervised at the playground or while playing outside at home.
--Bullying is becoming epidemic. An adult should accompany younger children to the bus stop to avoid episodes of roughhousing.
Even with precautions, kids have accidents, and there are times when pain and injuries are unavoidable. Moreover, 25-40% of children aged 3-5 and 8-12 experience growing pains.
"Parents need to be armed with a safe, effective, and natural pain product made just for children, which is why I developed Topricin Junior Pain Relief and Healing Cream," says Paradise. "Formulated with 13 natural biomedicines, Topricin Junior supports and assists the body in the healing process to help reduce inflammation, detoxify and stimulate blood flow that increases oxygenation of the skin to speed healing and relieve aches and pains. I've used Topricin on my own children, and they now use it on my grandchildren."
Topricin Junior has no side effects, no odor, no parabens, no petroleum, and no harsh chemicals. Some of its key actives include arnica for injuries and bruising to the muscles and joints, echinacea to help reduce inflammation and graphite for most skin conditions. "In fact, Topricin Junior has been effective in treating eczema and other skin issues," says Paradise.
Winner of the Parent Tested/Parent Approved (PTPA?) Seal of Approval, and designated a Trusted Partner with Healthy Child Healthy World in its continued effort to empower parents in creating healthier, safer environments for children, Topricin Junior is a safe, natural alternative to over-the-counter chemical-based pain pills which can have dangerous side effects.
Topricin Junior comes in a convenient, portable tube for keeping on hand at sporting events and playgrounds, as well as in the car glove compartment and bathroom medicine cabinet. Also available is the Topricin Junior "Boo Boos Happen" first aid kit, with "Ouchies" boutique design-your-own colored adhesive bandages and marker in a recyclable zippered bag. Five percent of the sales of Topricin Junior are donated to pediatric cancer care. For more information, visit http://www.topricinkids.com.
