Protect Yourself from the Sun the Smart Way

If you don't know already, you should: the SUN is the number one cause of aging. But if you are like me, you hate slabbing on that think goopie SPF 45 on the beach, let alone everyday! Well, thank god product developers have come up with some way to protect your skin/lips/hair etc without all that mess:

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist SPF 45: This is a genius way to protect yourself from the sun. It is so easy to apply and it goes even without any rubbing! Your skin doesn't get sticky and neither do your hands. Just be careful where you spray when it's windy!







Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral SPF 30: This mineral mattifying powder comes ready for on-the-go action with a built-in brush applicator. It sounds perfect for a hot sticky day to cut shine and protect your precious skin from the harmful rays.







TheBalm BalmShelter SPF 17 Tinted Gloss: A lip gloss that provides shine, color, flavor (strawberry banana to be exact) and protection?! Sounds perfect huh? I think it is pretty darn cute.








Oscar Blandi Capri Sun-Sheild Spray: This stuff is great! It protects your beautiful locks from the damaging rays and even from colorine damage! All the while, providing moisture and shine. Brilliant!

Treat Your Lips Right and Save Puppies

I haven't given much thought the food I eat harming others or myself in the past, but recently some people in my life have enlightened me to the dangers and risks of eating animal products. I am not sure I can become a full-on vegan any time soon (I just love cheese sooo much!), but I can practice with some of my beauty products.

Everyone knows that we ingest tons of our lip products everyday (gross, huh?!), so why not get one that is vegan AND supports a good cause?! TheBalm, a small makeup company based in San Francisco, has a limited edition over sized vegan lip treatment called theBalm to the Rescue. It is a 100% vegan (no animal bi-products) lip gloss with jojoba and shea butter that is formulated to condition lips and leave them extra soft and guilt free.

Not only are you doing something good for your lips, all net proceeds are donated to Pug Rescue which saves dogs from being euthanized and helps abused pugs get the love, treatment and homes that they need. How can you say no to that?

So really, it is combining my two favorite things at the moment. Vegan awareness and PUPPIES! You can pick up yours at most Sephora stores and of course online.
