It's a Sunscreen Summer

Sun screens always seem so chemical to me. So if you are looking for something that is not so harsh, but still works click to see A LIST OF THE SAFEST SUNSCREENS.



Look HERE for tips on SunScreen--I thought it was helpful.

The site had other articles that were very informative. Take some time to look around.

Happy swimming!

East Valley Farmers Market

The girl over at the I heart Mesa blog has put together a list of local farmers markets for those of us who live in Arizona. The list is just for us in the East Valley.

Farming

The more I learn about going natural--one thing that is brought up a great deal is farming. And how the government is subsidizing corn and soy out the wazoo. And how it is not good for our country. Some farming is ruining soil and damaging surrounding lands. I believe there are two sides to every story, this is one side. But the more I learn, the more I realize that the government could be doing so many other things to ensure Americas farmlands stay healthy and able to feed it's own citizens. This is worth the watch. Or you can link directly to it HERE.

Arizona Farming

I just found this resource for Arizona Farming. It gives links to all kinds of local farms/markets stuff like that.

Furniture Polish

Yes! Use Olive oil to polish your furniture. I hate that spray stuff from the store--it stinks up my house and as I spray it I just imagine it coating my lungs like it's coating the wood.

Yuck.

So just mix 2 parts olive oil with 1 part lemon juice. Spray, let it sit for a few minutes, and then wipe with a soft cloth.

I'm off to try it.

Do you have just a small place to garden? I found this blog post on themed gardens. I love it. It sounds like a fun way to start out--if you don't know where to start.
