Protect your Kisser - and the rest!

WE are sooo excited that this brand has finally made it into Canada :)  We first tested it on our Cuban vacation 2 years ago, and loved the results! UVA/UVB protection that's water resistant for 80 minutes plus ...
  • paraben free - that chemical we are all trying to avoid
  • PABA/oil free - doesn't clog pores, even if you have oily skin like me
  • retinyl palmitate free - which some studies linked to skin tumors
  • vegan & gluten free
  • tested, approved and recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation
  • sprays contain No CFCs - we need that ozone layer!
  • not tested on monkeys (or any other animals)

Providing a range of products to keep you safe at work or play, the SunBum team "created a new high quality lifestyle brand of sun care products specifically formulated for people who live and love in the sun ... captures the essence of the outdoor lifestyle while protecting ourselves, and the ones we love, from the harmful dangers of the sun."

Soft scents won't offend your finickiest friends, so protect yourself after your morning shower, skipping only those nasty rain days.

Prepare your skin with lotion or spray befor you go out daily, and if you forgot,  soothe and moisturize with this aloe vera & vitamin E blend designed to restore your stupidly sunburned skin.

Our Favorite Products;

1. Face Stick (SPF30) for no mess application that you can apply to the squirmiest child

2. delicious flavors of the SPF30 lip balm. (have to admit, I'm not normally a fan of chap sticks, but I have this one in 3 flavors so it's never out of reach - one each for my desk, purse & makeup drawer)

Thanks to the SunBum team that worked diligently to ensure their sun protective products met all Canadian standards. We are looking forward to the additions in your line :)

SunSense Tips  from the Canadian Cancer Society;

  1. cover up with loose clothing and a wide brimmed hat
  2. wear sunglasses with UVA/UVB protection
  3. use sunscreen with broad-spectrum SPF15 or higher, water resistant when required & apply generously at least 20 minutes befor going outside

Love the outdoors safely!

5 Must Have Bra Styles

Summer heat and light weight clothes mean you cannot hide a bra that fits badly. Sometimes an investment in your wardrobe means you only need a new bra to freshen up your look (although I love a new dress, some days the budget doesn't').  So what style of bra do you really need?



1. t-shirt bra

A sweetheart neckline and tight u-back ensure the C Ideal from Chantelle will be invisible under your lightest t-shirts.
Innovative space mousse cups are crush resistant (great for travel).
