I consider myself fiercely patriotic… but that, of course, doesn’t stop me from bitching about all of the things that need to be fixed here in the good ‘ol USA!
July 4th always serves as a reminder… a democratic nation is a work in progress. We Americans have accomplished some pretty amazing things in our 200+ years of existence. Here’s hoping we continue to innovate and improve in the future! Happy Independence Day, readers!

I know many people who protect their faces with sunscreen, but leave their bodies exposed to the harsh rays of the sun. Why? Pale extremities are considered so undesirable, people are willing to risk their health to achieve a darker shade for the summer months.
Rather than risk sun damage, try glominerals body bronzer! Applied as simply as a lotion, this bronzer imparts an instant, risk-free, temporary shimmering tan.
Once again, this is a product I would normally be afraid to use… but the second I tried gloBody Bronzer, I was hooked. This incredible body lotion is tinted with a metallic bronze tone that can be layered to create the shade of tan you desire. Best of all, even the palest of legs (mine) can look naturally tan in an instant!
But there’s much more! This body bronzer by gloMinerals also evens the skintone of the legs and conceals unsightly veins! Your legs have never looked so good.
Tip: This product seems to apply more heavily on rough or calloused skin, so be sure to exfoliate thoroughly prior to application! Allow for some drying time after application, to minimize the transfer of color onto your clothing. But don’t worry if you get a little on your clothing. It washes off easily.
Check out glominerals gloBody bronzer online at the glominerals website. gloMinerals gloBody Bronzer retails for $33 at Dermstore.
During a scorching hot day, I slathered my son with a waterproof SPF 50 that my husband and I both used. Hours later, my son developed a rash on his cheeks that lasted for days.
The solution for protecting the skin of sensitive skinned babies and toddlers is California Baby’s SPF30 Sunscreen. The active ingredient titanium dioxide protects baby’s skin and all natural ingredients selected for the most sensitive of skin will keep baby’s dermis from complaining.
My son has used the scented and unscented versions of this product, with great success!
A 2.9 oz. tube retails for $17.99 on the California Baby website. Or, click HERE to buy California Baby at drugstore.com
Dewy, bronze skin is coveted by all this summer. Colorescience responds to the demand with Wild To Mild Skin Bronzer, a creamy mousse-like bronzer. This product can be used as a foundation primer, or to replace your foundation altogether!
My skin is extremely fair, so I generally shy away from cream-based bronzers, afraid they would look too severe. The versatility of this product makes it perfect for most skin tones. I personally used Wild To Mild as a primer, applying my favorite foundation over its amazing bronze tone. The result was an incredibly healthy looking, natural bronze color. Those less fair can replace their foundation with this product entirely, to achieve a natural and healthy glow.
Wild To Mild is actually the Colorescience "Line Tamer" product with an added bronze tint. So rather than simply bronze the skin–the way most bronzers do–this product minimizes pores and conceals fine lines (and does so incredibly well, may I add). Added zinc and titanium dioxide also help prevent sun damage!
Click HERE to read more about Wild To Mild on the Colorescience website, or to find a retailer near you, or check it out online at Dermstore. This product is not to be missed this summer!
Retail price of this product is $45. I know… seems a bit pricey. But Colorescience has recently increased the bottle size by 50%, to ensure the price is worth your while!
