Cypriana Celebrates Anniversary, Launches Webstore for Natural & Organic Baby, Bed & Bath Products
August 25, 2009
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cypriana Celebrates Anniversary, Launches Webstore for Natural & Organic Baby, Bed & Bath Products
Kent, Washington, August 25, 2009 – To celebrate Cypriana’s first year in business, owner Susan Thomas announced a storewide anniversary sale of 20% off all merchandise during the month of September. The sale includes all in-stock merchandise including DreamSacks bedding, Area
linens, Nandina towels, organic baby clothes and bedding, diaper bags, baby accessories and gift items, natural soaps and lotions and more. In addition, Thomas announced the launch of Cypriana’s new webstore, http://www.cyprianahome.com which has been in the works since early spring.
“I’m passionate about providing natural, chemical-free and organic products to the Seattle community. Some of these products are difficult to find though, so I want to make them available to consumers outside Seattle as well,” Thomas said.
In an effort to live a healthier lifestyle, Thomas, a cancer survivor, developed the concept for Cypriana as she tried different natural, chemical-free and organic products. She opened her store in downtown Kent in September 2008 to offer difficult-to-find natural and organic products to others who, for a variety of reasons, want to eliminate toxins and other chemicals from their lives. Thomas also created a blog, http://cyprianahome.blogspot.com, to offer information about ways to go green, shift to a more ecofriendly lifestyle, list product recalls, explain why organic cotton is better and more.
“There is such a need for this type of information,” Thomas said, “But you have to know where to look for it.”
Though the economy has impacted her business, Thomas has a steady flow of traffic and her product lines remain popular, especially the organic baby clothing, bedding and accessories.
“The babies keep coming and parents want the very best products for their babies,” Thomas said. “Cypriana offers a wide range of organic and natural products for babies including clothing, bedding, toys, diapers and more. These products cost a little more, but parents can rest assured that their babies are getting top quality merchandise they can feel good about.”
Located at 205 First Avenue South in downtown Kent, Cypriana specializes in providing natural and organic products for baby, bed and bath. It is one of the few stores in the Kent area to carry such items. In addition to the brick-and-mortar store which is open Tuesday through Saturday, Cypriana now offers an online store which is open 24/7 so customers can shop at their convenience. The September anniversary sale applies to all merchandise, except for Cypriana’s custom-made slipcovers. For more information, visit the store online at www.cyprianahome.com.
Please contact Cypriana for additional information or to schedule media interviews.

The Many Benefits of Cloth Diapers
New parents have a lot to think about, including the choice between cloth and disposable diapers. This decision must be based on what is best for you and your baby, and I encourage you to think about using cloth diapers.Today’s cloth diapers are very different from the leaky, bulky, inconvenient diapers of the past. The modern cloth diaper is available with different absorbent liners, disposable liners and outer waterproof covers. Cloth, especially organic cotton, tends to be gentler on baby’s sensitive skin and has the added benefit of causing less environmental damage. While protecting your baby’s bottom, you can protect your own bottom line knowing that cloth diapers cost less over a two or three year period than disposables.
If you find cloth diapers to be the best choice for your family, consider the Mother-ease Diaper system available at Cypriana. These diapers are available in 100% organic cotton and are manufactured using 100% green power.
Read our October 21, 2008 blog post, “Mother-ease Diaper System Now at Cypriana” to learn more about this environmentally-friendly choice for your baby’s diapering needs.

Organic Products Help Protect Against the Dangers of Pesticides
Have you ever stood in the grocery store and wondered if there really is a difference between the organic and non-organic produce? The strawberries in the organic section look about the same and yet their non-organic siblings are exiled to a different section of the store.The truth is, that while on the surface non-organic fruits and vegetables appear to be the same, they are usually harboring hidden pesticides. The danger is real and the U.S. government, along with international government agencies, has acknowledged that various pesticides can cause damage to the nervous system, carcinogenic effects, hormone system effects, and irritation to the skin, eyes and lungs.
The Environmental Working Group has tested 47 popular fruits and vegetables to determine those fruits and vegetables which contain the most contaminants. This suggests that those fruits and vegetables at the top of the list, and therefore with the highest pesticide content, should be purchased exclusively from the organic section of the store in order to protect your health.
The top 12 “dirty” or pesticide-ridden fruits and vegetables, according to the Environmental Working Group are:
1. Peaches
2. Apples
3. Bell Peppers
4. Celery
5. Nectarines
6. Strawberries
7. Cherries
8. Kale
9. Lettuce
10. Grapes (Imported)
11. Carrots
12. Pears
For a complete listing and for the source of this material, visit the Environmental Working Group’s website.
