Most people seem to think that sun-screen is only for the warmer, summer months. You know at the beach, playing ball and the rest. But the sun still shines in winter and, if you participate in outdoor snowy sports, the glare from the sun is so much greater than one would think. Plus, many people head to warmer climes to escape the snow and they need to take care of skin protection as well. There’s never a time you shouldn’t be concerned about sun damage. Painful sunburns can happen anywhere and at anytime.
So for on-the-go UVA/UVB protection, I grab Sun Shades Sport SPF 50 Sunscreen. Sun Shades Sport features dermatologist-recommended avobenzone and an exclusive natural blend of vitamins and antioxidants. This sunscreen helps protect skin against signs of premature aging and environmental damage for 80 water-resistant minutes and sprays on evenly for protection without feeling sticky or tacky on your skin.
Water-resistant, it protects against harmful UVA and UVB sun rays with quick and complete spray-on coverage.
SPF 50
Sprays onto the skin in a complete, uniform layer
Feels natural and clean on your skin
Using a safer alternative that is budget-friendly is what matters most to me
After losing a lot of weight I felt like my skin was all “wrinkly and saggy”. Well, it probably was being stretched out so much from all those years of carrying excess poundage!
Then, I tried this new collagen recommended to me and found in my online shopping club. With its 90 days money back guarantee, I figured what could I lose? It worked. I personally feel tremendous difference in my skin and joints.
Read on to see a great testimonial from a professional and see what the hype is all about with his amazing wellness online shopping club:
Love, love our collagen! Hello everyone! I’m a PT by profession. I have tried five or more different collagen brands in the past three years, from the cheapest to the most expensive one in the market. I was using the most expensive one when i injured my right knee. I’ve had issues on my right knee for years. I cant run, indian sit, etc. I twisted my knee six weeks prior to launch of Vitality Collagen Boost. My knee was getting better but not well. It still swells if I am on my feet more than two hours. Two days after taking this collagen, swelling was minimal at the end of the day (not two hours). My pain went down from five out of ten to two out of ten. After one week of taking daily collagen, my knee was back to normal. Two weeks after tha,t I injured my left knee the same way as I had injured my right knee. It took three days and it was well. Needless to say, I just opened my third bootle. I was able to run last week for ten minutes! I canals run up and down stairs now. Amazing product! I added Mela-Out two or three times per week and take Replenex daily. My conclusion, this is the best collagen in the market. Adding to that, the benefits i have seen on my skin, hair and nails, compared to that expensive collagen i was using for almost one year.
Her results are outstanding and other uses are sharing similar results. I know my wrinkly, baggy skin is doing much better and soon will look “normal” again. If you have aging skin issues, I encourage you to try it for yourself. I’ll bet you fall in love with this collagen too!
In this season of dry skin, this cream saves me every time! It is such an amazing moisturizer with wonderful healing properties. My skin drinks it up! This one is lavender scented, too. What a relaxing fragrance!
Not all cosmetics are created equal. Some products need to be thrown away within three months while other products may last over a year or two.
So here is the general rule of thumb for the following products:
Eyeshadow —1 – 2 years
Mascara —3 months
Liquid Foundation —1 year
Lipstick/Lip Gloss —1 year
Powdered Blush —2 years
Concealer —1 year
Scary, huh?
A common misconception is expired makeup is safe to use, but this isn’t always the case. Risks are associated with using expired makeup including, clogged pores and bacterial growth. It’s important to be mindful of how long your makeup has been in storage so you can avoid these potential health hazards.
It’s a happy day for me.After my weight loss, my skin looked all “wrinkly” especially on my upper arms and legs.
You know, the skin right above your knees? Well, today, I noticed that the skin on my upper legs is smoother and tighter!
Could it be? Could it be the Collagen Boost making the difference in a month? It’s amazing! It’s working! I haven’t changed anything else! I’m still following R3, exercising almost daily, drinking lots of water, taking Peak Performance Total Longevity! My upper arms are looking better too.
Be aware and stay proactive now that tick season has arrived.
It’s warmer weather! Beginning time for camping, hiking and getting outside to play. Don’t let those pesky annoying ticks stop you.
Did you know ticks hate the smell of lemon, orange, cinnamon, lavender, peppermint, rose geranium, cedarwood, and thyme? They hate it so much that they avoid latching on to anything that smells of those items. Any of these, or a combination thereof, can be used in do-it-yourself sprays or added to an almond oil base and rubbed onto your skin.
Here’s one DIY recipe that has proven successful for my family:
• 1 oz any carrier oil such as Witch Hazel or Almond oil. • 7 drops Geranium. • 4 drops Peppermint. • 4 drops Thyme. • 4 drops Cedarwood or Lavender.
The above is safe for almost every one. Please note that I don’t recommend Eucalyptus Oil. if you have dogs or cats. Although eucalyptus oil is a tick killer, it is also effective repellent as well, and it’s naturally safe and effective on ones body when mixed with a carrier oil like Almond oil. Eucalyptus is toxic for dogs and cats. Always remember to use caution when using any essential oil around pets.
For you and your family
In a spray bottle, mix two cups of distilled white vinegar and one cup of water. To make a scented solution , add 20 drops of your favorite essential oil to the bottle so you do not smell like bitter vinegar all day,.
As we said before eucalyptus oil is a calm, soothing scent that also works as a tick repellent, while peppermint and citrus oils give off a strong crisp scent that also repel ticks. be careful using any mixture containing eucalyptus around your pets.
After mixing the solution, spray onto clothing, skin, and hair before going outdoors. Reapply every four hours to keep ticks at bay, and examine your skin and hair when back inside to make sure no ticks are on the body.
For your pets
If you have pets, a homemade spray solution of one cup of water to a spray bottle, followed by two cups of distilled white vinegar. Ticks hate the smell and taste of vinegar, and will be easily be repelled by this ingredient alone. Then, add two spoonfuls of vegetable or almond oil, which both contain sulfur (another natural tick repellent). Spray directly onto your pets, but be careful not to get it in their eyes. Or use the wonderful organic spray I get from my online shopping club. My dogs seem to love being sprayed with it before going out.
To make a repellent that will also deter fleas, mix in a few spoonfuls of lemon juice, citrus oil, or any other safe essence oil that may also repel ticks and fleas, while creating a nicely scented repellent but not be toxic for your dog. Spray onto the pet’s dry coat, staying away from sensitive areas including eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals. When outdoors for an extended period, spray this solution on two to three times per day.
This could be the most important thing that you see me post! These things are as lethal as a venomous snake in the wrong scenerio! Also note the nymph can spread the disease and it’s about the size of a poppy seed:. Here’s a link to learn more about transmission of disease caused by ticks. Please not only read it, but share it! Make sure we get the word out about these tics and the disease they carry!
If you have ever shared anything, please click share on this! We must get the word spread about the dangers of Ticks and how to avoid them!
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid found in certain algae. (It’s what gives salmon, lobsters, and flamingoes their pinkish color!!)
This antioxidant is 6,000 times more potent than Vitamin C; 560 times more potent than green tea; and 800 times more potent than CoQ10, providing the highest level of protection for your brain, heart, eyes, skin and entire body!
Astaxanthin protects the skin against the damage associated with sun exposure—because of its potent antioxidant properties, it neutralizes the free radicals produced by the sun’s rays and prevents the typical damage caused by sunburn.
Astaxanthin has an impressive ability to help skin manage photodamage by promoting new skin cells, elastin, and collagen production.But it doesn’t replace topical sunscreen—you still need to use that every two to three hours.
Taking astaxanthin daily can:
• Improve skin elasticity
• Reduce age spots and wrinkles
• Protect cells against UVA-induced skin damage
• Work as an internal sunscreen
It’s a great supplement to take in the summer, but the health benefits are good year-round!
Did you know that rubbing SunShades Lip Balm on bug bites is instant relief? We were out yesterday and forgot insect repellent and this pesky Blackflies and mosquitos had a party on me! My friend suggested rubbing my Sunshades on the bites, she said it would work.

By the way, it is also the BEST lip balm I have ever used and do not waste money on anything else. Hands down!
