SunGuard Sun Protection
Monday July 6, 2009
When you apply sunscreen, do you apply it to your whole body, or just the areas that aren't covered by clothing? Did you know that an average white T-Shirt has an SPF level of only 3 to 5? How many of us think about applying sunscreen under our clothing?
SunGuard is a product that you add to your washing machine that adds SPF 30 to your clothes, which blocks over 96% of UV rays. This way, you don't have to worry about harmful rays getting through your clothes. The protection lasts for 20 washings and only costs $1.99 a load; less if you order in bulk.
Don't worry about your clothing, because it won't harm it or change its texture, color or comfort in any way.
We love that this product is inexpensive, thoughtless and recommended by dermatologists as a way to safely block sun's rays. Especially for those who have sensitive skin, children and athletes or people who work outdoors on a regular basis.

Bath and Body Works: American Grown
Friday July 3, 2009
Bath and Body Works has a limited edition line of products inspired by America. Perfect for highlighting right before July 4th.
It's a beautiful line of hand washes and shower gels that is formulated with invigorating botanicals grown in the United States.
The line contains scents including:
- Washington Apple
- Napa Grape
- Siesta Key Lemon
- Savannah Mint
- Montana Sky
We love the bold colors and big bottles. The hand washes contain 16 ounces for $6.50 and the shower gels contain 24 ounces for $12.50.
American Grown is only available through September. (For some reason, BBW's website is only showing 3 of the scents, so check them out at your local BBW's store.)

Now that we're in July, we're officially in the thick of summer. July 4th is this weekend, and at least in my area, it seems this weekend is the official kickoff for shorts, summer dresses and sandals.
But if you haven't taken the time to address your skin's needs, you'll be the one with scaly feet, dry legs and chipped off polish. We can't have that, can we?
Take some time this week to make sure your skin is in its best summer shape by following these 7 Tips for Glowing Summer Skin. Then, go and enjoy the festivities knowing you look great!
Delizioso Skincare
Monday June 29, 2009
I got an email from a reader named Katrina last month asking me to do a little digging on Delizioso Skincare Products. She is already a fan of the line, and currently uses their a few of their products, but she wanted to know more about their shower gels and body scrubs.
Delizioso Skin Care is an all-natural skin care line that has a big array of products. Looking at their product line on their website immediately reminded me of the line 100% Pure. I sampled their Cranberry Lemon Shower Gel and Body Scrub.
The shower gel is more of a thin gelee, but it lathers nicely and smells amazing! And I love the 16 ounce bottle. The scrub I sampled is an oily salt scrub that gives a great exfoliation and a nice moisturized feeling after use.
Katrina, if you're already a fan of the line, there's no reason you won't love Delizioso Skincare's scrubs and gels.
