Month: July 2013

I love a good beach bag but I love the must have items that I carry in it: Sunscreen, bug spray,  a good cover up and of course sunglasses are in my bag. Check out my favorites this season!

• A good Cover-Up – I never really noticed a difference in cover-ups until I tried one from Coolibar.  This company makes clothing, swimwear and hats with what they call at UPF (ultraviolet Protection Factor, which is a rating given for fabrics similar to SPF on sunscreens). They were nice enough to send me one to test out and it is sooooo multifunctional!   The color block tunic makes a great cover-up but is also perfect for a summer night out. If it is cool out pair it with leggings for a bright summer outfit. I received so many complements when I wore mine out!
• Bug Repellent – people stare at me funny when they see this little contraption on my hip but I swear it works so I don’t leave home without it.  The New Terminix ALLCLEAR SideKick Mosquito Repelleris an all natural, clip-able mosquito repeller. The fan-based diffusion technology circulates 100% safe, all-natural repellent of lemongrass, cinnamon, peppermint, & geranium oils. It is non-toxic. The cost is $9.99 and includes 1 clip-able unit, 2 AAA batteries, 1 refill. Available at terminixallclear.com, homedepot.com, amazon.com.
• Beach Bag – since my kids are older they tend to carry their own bags so I have opt for a smaller bag to carry my items in. My favorites include of course Lands End and LLBean but my new favorite are the Scout bags and I am loving my mini vineyard vines find from several years ago! I still get complements on it!

Disclosure:  Coolibar as well as Terminix sent me the products to test out and review. All opinions are my own. 

We love hats, especially during the summertime as they protect us from the sun. Baseball caps, sun visors and funky fedoras  – we have them all in this house! 

These two adorable fedoras are ones I picked up at the christmas tree shops while at the cape. So affordable at only $3.99 each!

While searching the web I found this site e4hats.com. They have quite the selection at many different price points so check them out!

Can you believe it’s already July 4th! Summer is flying by.  We talked July 4th festivities, and more on today’s trendymommies.com report on 980 WCAP-AM!  I also talked about this great product line that I love for the summer:  babo botanicals.  The company makes a great sunscreen for sensitive skin. We also love the Clean Sport Shampoo and Wash which is perfect to put in your pool/beach bag this season.  It replenishes, hydrates and purifies your hair and skin. This line is paraben and phthalate free and even better for moms – it it safe for color treated hair.
