Now, because of the sudden "craze" with eating natural and organic,
Big name brands have started to add natural ingredients to their products,
like soap and shampoo, but don't be fooled! If the brand says that they have
natural ingredients in their products, such as mint, or shea butter, check the
ingredients and how far down (or up) they are on the list. If it's number 10, or
over, than the product is tricking you! Also, if it does have cocoa butter, but also
has a preservative, or unknown chemical, then the natural product kind of cancels
out! Last, if the brand is called "Cody's Organics" or something similar, but isn't certified organic, then check the ingredients. If nothing is organic or natural, or if there are preservatives, chemicals, etc. in there, definetly don't use it!
Hope this helps!

summer weather!
It's finally getting warmer, here in bellevue!
Here are some tips to stay natural when protecting
your self in the sun!!
1. Hydrate your self with simple H2o! It has been
proven that water hydrates better than soda or sweetend juice. Gulp up!
2. When choosing a sunscreen, try to avoid big name brands, which
usually have chemicals that can actually raise the risk of skin cancer! Not prevent it. Try a natural choice you know and trust, special brands are sold at natural food markets.But remember, if the SPF is 60 or over, try not to use it.
3. When choosing sunglasses, (yes, sunglasses can be natural too)
look for one that actually protects your eyes from HV lights, they usually
have stickers saying they do.
4. Lastly, wearing a swimsuit with a SPF of 25 or more is safe for outdoor swimming,
where sunscreen can come off, even when it's water proof! Re appy sunscreen after swimming, if you know you're not going for another swim for a while.
Hope this helps! Stay safe, but remember to have fun too!
