    Happy National Beach Day 🏝


    What better way to celebrate National Beach Day than with our friends in Sunny Florida. Today we shared all our favorite essentials to you hydrated, glam, and protected from the rays for all the fun in the sun you can handle.

    Have you seen the new summer accessory of 2021 that combines beach hat and glasses all-in-one? Oh and it has built-in UPF 50+

    Araya Visors
    SHOP: @MyAraya.com

    The sun is responsible for 80% of skin aging.
    Our visors carry a certified UPF 50+ rating and block 98-100% UVA/UVB rays.
    They offer eye health by shielding the cornea and retina from UV radiation.
    UV radiation weakens skin elasticity, causes hyperpigmentation or sun spots, and can lead to skin cancer. Women who are pregnant are at risk for developing chloasma of the skin, a darkening around the cheeks, upper lip, and eyes, due to the heightened levels of hormones. One serious sunburn in childhood can double your risk of developing melanoma.
    Araya visors are heat-resistant, scratch-resistant, and available in 5 unique and stylish custom colors. We offer three sizes and two band options.
    Our visors are shipped in 100% recycled kraft corrugated cardboard. Even our packing tape is made from eco-friendly kraft paper, which means the box is actually recyclable, unlike most packaging tape!

    If you’re bringing the kiddies with you, I AM OBSESSED with this SPF for the little ones. It’s so easy to apply so less fighting while applying


    MDSolarSciences KIDCreme SPF 50
    PRICE: $35.00
    SHOP: @MDSolarSciences.com

    This gentle, emollient unscented and water-resistant crème is perfect for children’s delicate skin and provides powerful broad spectrum protection. Mineral KidCrème is creamy, easy-to-apply and goes on silky smooth. Finally, a mineral sunscreen perfect for little ones (and the whole family!) that is quick to apply and feels great. The mineral formula won’t run into or sting eyes, even when swimming or sweating, which means more smiles and longer days at the beach. No more squirming or running away from the sunscreen tube. Simply shake, slather, and go!

    Packing the cooler? For the same price as that plastic bottle of infused water, you could bring on some ultra-hydrating and YUMMY coconut cans baby!

    Once Upon A Coconut
    PRICE: $21.99 for 12 Pack
    SHOP: @onceuponacoconut
    .com
    Two varieties and a third coming. Legend has it, coconut water was made to tame the most ferocious of thirsts. Turn the page to a new chapter of hydration inspired by hot sandy beaches and cool ocean breezes of land far, far away. This water was destined to be perfected by the coconut. Once Upon A Coconut is the coconut water brand with a purpose. Once Upon A Coconut comes in two delicious varieties – Pure and Sparkling + Energy. Once Upon A Coconut is different from other coconut waters on the market because it’s made with young coconuts instead of mature, making it more refreshing with a sweeter flavor filled with potassium, calcium, and magnesium (all electrolytes).

  • Summer Survival Series on Tampa Bay Morning Blend

    Summer Survival Series on Tampa Bay Morning Blend

    I was born and raised in Tampa, so I’m very aware of the heat and humidity this time of year. Some days feel like you’re stepping into a sunny, steam shower when you walk outside. Hair frizzes, skin starts to look thin and sallow, and you’re days start to revolve around getting out of the heat and into the air conditioning. That’s why my friends at Tampa Bay’s Morning Blend asked me to share some of my summer survival tips with their viewers. Take a look below for the products we featured on today’s show. I tried to keep in mind that most of us aren’t super thrilled to be out and about with Covid numbers topping the charts in Florida. That’s why I included some DIY options like the mani and pedi polishes and at home Corona Virus testing. It may be hot as hell outside, but we still want glossy painted toes and to spend time with friends and family in 2021.
