    Tatyanna Wright's Haute Mama - The Book - Coming soon We all know the media adores pregnant celebrities. Just look at the magazines stocking shelves that feature Gwenyth Paltrow, Kate Hudson, Salma Hayek and Gwen Stefani during their pregnancies. Wholesome or sexy, the pregnant celebrity is always portrayed as glamorous—a trend that is only growing stronger. But what about the rest of us women who cannot afford their luxuries—the stylists, and designers who assist in showing off their latest maternity range? Haute Mama is a fashion style guide for the pregnant urban woman that offers more than just tips on what to wear. It will show you how to accommodate your existing wardrobe with your changing figure and instruct you in what clothing to avoid from painful shoes and impractical stockings to blouses that expose you to eager beavers trying to sneak a peak at your milky mammaries!

    Sustainable Children’s Furniture

    Decorate your little darlings’ new nursery in sustainable style from Muu, a brand new environmentally friendly furniture designer crafted in the United States. 

    Muu’s philosophy is simple: their core belief is in the environment. They want products that are safe, non-toxic and useful. With good quality craftsmanship, and a modern sensibility that will continue to grow as your child does.
    The guiding force behind Muu’s design is Robert Kwak, founder and president. A woodworker himself, Robert unsuccessfully searched for high-quality environmentally friendly furniture for his new daughter, dissatisfied, he took matters into his own hands and started the LA based Muu to create a furniture line of elegant, fun, modern durable non-toxic furnishings. Robert has a strong belief in sustainability, hence the name Muu, inspired by the Zen term Mu, which teaches that there is no difference between us and our environment.

    Each item is made by a woodworking family with over three decades of experience that uses locally-sourced hardwood from verified sustainable sources and MDF made from certified environmentally-friendly recycled wood fibres that do not add formaldehyde. The products are finished with non-toxic lacquer.

    Muu gives parents an easy option in gorgeous greening. The line is comprised of cribs with optional toddler conversion rails, dressers with optional changing trays, storage units, twin beds and nightstands. A unique panel system allows a parent, or child, to choose from stylish graphics, colours and fonts that will be on their crib, bed, dresser or storage unit. This innovation makes Muu the only children's furniture company to offer such a broad array of personalization and customization options. Furniture can be purchased directly from Muukids.com
