BANANA BOAT EXPANDS SPORT PERFORMANCE COOLZONE SUNSCREEN LINE


Hi all,


Today I wanted to share with you that Banana Boat has now expanded their popular Sport Performance CoolZone sunscreen line to now offer SPF 30 & 50 lotion's in there existing line up.

For those not familiar this product is a fast absorbing crisp clean, somewhat manly sunscreen product. It is enriched with aloe so it leaves the skin feeling cool and comfortable. I did notice it has a slightly thinner consistency then other sunscreen, but still emollient. For people that don't like the heavy feel of more traditional sunscreen, then you will like this product.  When used as directed this product not only is sweat resistant, but is water resistant for a whopping 80 minutes. Be sure to always apply your sunscreen 15-30 minutes prior to sun exposure so that you reap it's full protection benefits against deadly UVA/UVB rays, which are harsher then ever. Also remembering that it is necessary to reapply as recommend on the bottle for full coverage on going.

Also returning to stores this summer is the Natural Reflect sunscreen line for the whole family. The lotions included are 100% natural minerals and are available in adult, kid and baby formulation all in SPF 50.

I have tested out the kids one on my child and what we both like is there is no strong fragrance as children don't need this in products that are being applied to their face and body. Also rest assured that this line is paraben, PABA and oxybenzone-free. You can have the pleasure of knowing this won't sting or cause tears if it gets near little ones eyes.


I was extremely thrilled to receive this parcel and was not expecting the large array of items and am very grateful to Banana Boats PR for sending this out to me. In the box I got a large sand pail and shovel, travel cup with spiral straw, All 3 of the Natural Reflect lotions and both of the brand new Sport Performance CoolZone lotions. This was incredibly generous, so thank you ever so much. My child has already had the pail and shovel out in the sand and uses the new cup everyday since we got it.

Pricing for the Sport Performance CoolZone is as follows

The new sunscreen lotion SPF 30 sug. retail price is $10.99
The SPF 50 lotion sug. retail is $11.99
and the same pricing structure applies to their existing sunscreen spray range.

As for the Natural Reflect sunscreen across the board is sug. retail of $11.99


So this summer give these new and previously released sunscreens a try and let me know in the comments if you love Banana Boat products too. If you want super gentle sun care for your face the Baby Natural Reflect is great because if you can put it on baby then your face will thank you too.
I love products that can be double duty:)

Hope you all enjoyed this post gearing everyone up for summer and have a great day


XOXO:)

ROUND UP THE CHILDREN ITS FAMILY HALLOWEEN MOVIE NIGHT

GOOD DAY EVERYONE,

Ok before I start this I want to make a *DISCLAIMER*, it is essential that you as the parent view any of these movies I list before allowing your children to watch them.  I say this because everyone's idea of age appropriateness can differ quite a bit. My son has been watching Ghostbusters since he was 3, where as other parents have been shocked when I tell them that. So please these are only suggestions and should be used at your discretion. I would say most of the movies I am listing today would be fine for between the ages of 6-12, but YOU are the parent of your child not me and I will NOT be held responsible if you decide to let your child watch any of the following movies and you come back to complain about any thematic elements in them. "DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU"

So my own child loves movies that have some element of scary, but nothing to outrageous, nor would I let him watch anything I consider movies for older people. So when the family sits down to watch child friendly Halloween movies, these are our top picks. ENJOY
