So  sorry about that!

But it IS less than 4 weeks away for many of us (6 for others)!

Have you shaken off the winter doldrums and gotten beach ready yet?

I have some great products that will help you get you and the kids ready for surf and sand this year!


Hello Kitty Sunscreen

Getting kids to put on sunscreen can be a battle, can't it?
With this new sunscreen from Australia Gold, your daughter may be reaching for it before you can!



Hello Kitty SPF 45 Faces Lotion is a safe and gentle mineral lotion formula, that combines cutting edge sunscreen protection with Asian skin caring ingredients, Yomogi and Butterfly Bush, to deliver sun protection with exceptional skin care.  It is Hypoallergenic, Water Resistant (for up to 80 Minutes). PABA-Free. UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum Protection, and is Fragrance-Free. They also have spray sunscreen in the product line in 45 and 30 SPF. Miss Grace loves the smell and declared it her new fav!



Isn't she cute?

You can't buy your daughter/granddaughter the REAL unicorn she's been wanting, but you can make getting warm and dry a bit more magical! This fantasy-filled hooded towel is made of substantial 100% cotton terry, embellished with an embroidered face, a cuddly polar fleece Rainbow colored mane, and a sturdy felt horn.  It's perfect for drying off at the beach, or at bath time! The children's size is great for kids ages 2-8 and measures 27"x51", with a hood size of10"x 8.5".  The towels are easy to take care of as they are machine washable/dryable!

There is sure to be a style perfecr for your darling, and enough that siblings won't have to get the same one! They also have infant hooded towels (7 choices) to match AND 3 matching ones for Mom (shark, unicorn and monster- you KNOW you want one because (say it with me)- "they didn't have these when we were kids')! You could have a family of unicorns! Plus you can get them personalized! Talk about standing out on the beach!

Coolibar has some really great Sun accessories, like gloves, hats, scarves, and shelters, that are perfect for whayever outdoor activity you have planned, for men and women! Sometimes you really just want to pull your hair back and have sun protection for your hair, neck and face! I was thrilled to be sent the popular Packable Beach Bucket Hat to review! It comes in 9 colors and is rated for 50+ UPF protection! It is crushable, so its perfect for packing. We were sent the soft blue/yellow/white combo that is perfect for just about any outfit!  It has a cotton lines crown, so it's super comfortable as well! As you can see it covers your eyes and neck really well! I plan on using it this weekend for the NOLA Jazz Fest (while I'm watching Miss Grace perform we'll be under a tent, but the rest of the day, sun protection will be key). Any of the great Coolibar hats or scarves would make great Mother's Day gifts! And don't forget Dad- they have some great fishing and baoting hats for him too!

Coolibar offers a full line of clothing for men, women, kids and infants! We were able to check out the Girls Pink Blossom Swim Dress Cover Up, and as you can see, it is absolutely adorable! It is made with  Coolibar 's Suntect, which blocks 98% of UVA/UVB, rated at 50+, for superior sun protection! It looks good (shape-preserving four-way stretch knit), feels good, wears well (chlorine and saltwater resistant) and protects for a lifetime! Available in 2 versions, Coolibar also has matching shorts, shirts, skirts and tights, for a well coordinated look! Miss Grace is wearing a 10/12 and as you can see, it fits her just fine (kids sizes tend to run a bit large). She LOVES how soft and light weight it is, I love that there is NO battle getting ehr to wear it, and that with the hooded she also has wind protection


So there you have it!
Everything you need for Summer fun, whether it's at the Beach, at a festival, or at a Staycation!
