Nothing is better than free! What a great way to entertain bored kids this summer?! Sign up at KidsBowlFree.com and get two free games every day! You still have to pay for shoes. I wonder how cheaply we can find bowling shoes. If you were to go every day, buying shoes would probably turn out to be a bit cheaper. If your local center is not participating at this time, check back soon as many are still signing up to participate. See you at the lanes!
In today’s world, research is done constantly. As a result, what you thought was safe yesterday is no longer considered safe today. It’s hard to stay up to date on all the research and recommendations. New products are created all the time, regulations change, recommended lists of products have to be updated. As summer comes, everyone starts thinking sunscreen. It’s important to remember that even the winter sun can cause damage and sunscreen should be used year round. I’ve taken the time to come up with a short list of what I feel are suitable sunscreens to keep your family safe. There are other sunscreens out there that could make my list, but I tried to stick with the more common and readily available sunscreens.
Natural sunscreens use Zinc Oxide to protect against UVA and UVB rays. Zinc Oxide is on the FDA’s generally recognized as safe list. The zinc oxide is responsible for the lovely white appearance you get on use. Micronized Zinc Oxide creates the same barrier, but far more transparent. Nano Zinc Oxide particles are even smaller and therefore even less transparent. However, there is some concern that the nano particles can be absorbed by the skin and the effects of that are still unknown. Since the whole point of “safe sunscreen” is to avoid having chemicals of any kind absorbed, I feel it best to avoid nano zinc oxide.
