    Hey guys, I hope you're all having the best week. Here are a few links to some summer/beach related articles I've recently come across. Enjoy! Several of these casual updos could easily be recreated for a relaxing day on the beach or just a hot day in the sun. This sunscreen infographic is so informative! I love arming myself with useful information. Parts 1 and 2 of Eco Stiletto's Eco Bikini Feature are very promising. Bikinis made from recycled water bottles and organic cotton? I can't wait for parts 3-4! Get a bikini wax this month and kill...

Swimsuits, towels, and sunglasses are just the beginning when it comes to being prepared for the beach. Below is my list of beach necessities. Feel free to share yours; I'd love to hear them!

 

  1. Beach Bag- Kirby bought me this fun bag when we were at the beach with my family recently, and I knew it would perfect to use as a beach bag for the approaching vacation with his family. There's plenty of room for towels, books, sunglasses, and an assortment of other treats. 2. Tervis Tumbler- This insulated...

Link to Alba Botanica Hawaiian Green Tea SPF 45 Sunblock Review

Remember last week's sunscreen post? Well, I ended up buying the Loving Naturals Sunscreen mentioned in that post. Unfortunately, and even though I opted for two day shipping with my Amazon Prime account, I didn't receive the sunscreen in time for vacation. Since my first choice was no longer an immediate option and I needed something to prevent sunburn, my mom had a bottle of Alba Botanica Green Tea Sunblock waiting for me when we arrived at the condo Saturday night. She's...

Link to Searching for a Safe, Affordable, and Unexpired Sunscreen

Greetings from the beach, and try not to be jealous of the fact that I'm probably digging my toes into the sand and drinking something icy as you read this.  While I'm gone, I've scheduled a beach vacation themed post for each day. Today's post is obviously about sunscreen. Enjoy! After realizing that all three of my bottles of sunscreen were expired, I began looking for a safe and affordable replacement to bring with me to the beach. I researched my past purchases (the first three below) and several other sunscreens I've yet to try. Below are my findings, made (for...

Link to Follow-up Post:Retinyl Palmitate

I mentioned in yesterday's post wanting to do further reasearch on the ingredient Retinyl Palmitate (or Vitamin A Palmitate). Today, I did that research. I picked a few of the more convincing articles to share with you guys. Here's some of what the Environmental Working Group has to say about Retinyl Palmitate: "Retinyl palmitate is an ingredient composed of palmitic acid and retinol (Vitamin A). When exposed to UV light, retinol compounds break down and produce toxic free radicals that can damage DNA and cause gene mutations, a precursor to cancer. Recently available data from an FDA study indicate that...
