Here's an interesting article on the Organic & Thrifty blog about Natural sunscreen for kids & adults... focusing on Omega-3 fatty acids, and eating healthful, all natural from scratch meals (no packaged or fast foods).Sometimes the higher the SPF goes, it seems like the product doesn't have enough coverage. So maybe changing our diets can/will eliminate sunscreen all together! '-)Visit: Organic & Thrifty
It's really great to see so many people turning to use more Green living in their lives! Today I visited the FL Keys GLEE Expo in Marathon! GLEE = Green Living and Energy Education What a wonderful day it was too! Windy, but mostly sunny... definitely a day for my SPF 50 Baby Blanket lotion (but sometimes I feel like I only have SPF 30 on with THIS sun)! Incidentally, according to Safe Cosmetics.org this is one of the BEST suntan lotions you can use that doesn't have harmful ingredients... for baby AND you! :-D I'm really careful about what I put on my skin... oh! I was talking about GREEN Living!! LOLThere were so many exhibitors with great ways to save energy in our homes and all around us, free workshops with all kinds of great tips (eating & living well, recycling, creating a healthy home/office, solar energy in living, etc.), the food court featured organic food and I especially loved the farmer's market with all kinds of delicious organic fruits and vegetables (some home grown or community garden grown)! I LOVE organic pink grapefruit... and made several of them mine! LOL Then there were also a few artists with recycled art, and... oh! I LOVED the electric scooters! I could see myself riding around on one of those! Or how about the little truck with 3 wheels! :-D One wheel in front and two in the back, in bright colors... how cute! LOL I've always loved electric vehicles. I also contributed to the local Upper Keys Girl Scouts by buying a recycled bracelet! '-) It was a fun day... definitely worth doing if you're into Living Green (whether you live in the Keys or anywhere else) and eating & using organic products; happens once a year. It's by far the most healthiest way to go.Visit: FL Keys GLEE
Have you been seeking an organic liquid hand soap to use at your kitchen or bathroom sink(s)? Well, search no more... I've been using Terressential's Real Soap for Hands for several years now. Made with organic tea tree oil, organic essential oils, organic extracts, and other organic ingredients it comes in nice scents such as Chillin' Mint, Zingin' Citrus, Lovin' Lavender, and Jammin' Spice.Terressential's products are hand made in Maryland. They're very particular about their products being as organic as possible, so much to the point that they refuse any shop that's not strictly health food or organic-related to sell their products. They also give you a list of the ingredients in each bottle -- what they DO put in and what they DON'T put in! Nonetheless, they're products are authentic and great! They ARE worth it!Check it out: Terressentials
Kiss My Face... have you heard of this line of beauty products? I first learned of this line while staying at a B&B on Big Pine Key, in the FL Keys. The toiletries given in the room were Kiss My Face shampoo & soap. It's rather rare that I find a shampoo in a travel destination that I like and will use again. But I found myself seeking out this natural & organic company, and buying the Whenever Green Tea & Lime Shampoo, twice now!! It has a wonderful lime scent, includes essential oils and organic herbs... PLUS it has no SLS! It can be used everyday!I've also tried the Lip Balm, I think it was peach, nice fruity flavor w/SPF of 15. They have other tropical flavors including Coconut Pineapple, Ginger Mango, and more! The SPF 30 Sunscreen and After Sun Aloe Soother I found to be great suncare products. I've tried a lot of natural sunscreen products, but liked this product the most. Some natural products have too much TD (titanium dioxide) and it leaves your skin white while sunning, how attractive right? This product is very moisturizing, water resistant, and paraben free! Maybe they'll come out with an SPF 50 one of these days!There's lots more products to try with Kiss My Face, oh! I don't want to forget about the "Kisses on Trial" Gift Collection you can purchase to try out their most popular products in trial sizes... that's my next stop! And right now... the website has 15% off storewide!Go there: Kiss My Face
