Hello gorgeous! Happy Hanukkah! Merry Christmas or at least get ready for it to be!

I have just been introduced to Lily B.'s botanical skincare and it's made right here in Scottsdale Arizona!

The face wash is a foaming pump of rose hip infused gentle cleanser. There is virtually no scent and it washes off makeup and rinses clean!

It's also sulfate free-finally our skin and hair care concerns are being answered!

This cleanser is suitable for all skin types and ages, so if you are a teen, mature or in-between, you may like this cleanser.

I collect sunscreens and I'm always on the hunt for a good one and I ran in the Lily B. spf 30 ultra defense today. I like the high titanium oxide content of 10% because it gives good barrier coverage. It did take a few minutes to dry down and not be whitish on my face but that is evidence of a good block! It's paraben, fragrance and PABA free-good stuff! It wasn't particularly hot today so for an average 5 mile run in cool conditions it held up well.

Summer is coming though wonderfully and oddly enough, the past two days in Arizona, the greater Phoenix area that is, has been cloudy! Oh the joy of partly sunny skies! I actually ran extra miles yesterday and today because it was cool and the cloud cover just made for a great run.

So I'm sharing with you today about the Jason Natural insect repellant that is safe for kids and deet free, and you and I sometime this summer are going to be in need of a safe repellant. Wow, where was this stuff weeks ago when it was like a gnat party! Oy! If only I had this with me at the NASCAR event where the gnats were thick like a hanging blanket, gross! I had to walk through it, for the miles to the car and when I got in the car I literally had a shellaqing of bug bodies on me. I could see them stuck in my sunscreen and flapping their wee wings in a futile attempt to unstick themselves. Oh the horror. Below is a bit of information about the product and visit the website for more details and where to buy in your area. In my area, Sprouts is the best place or a Sunflower Market.
