Girls Love Frogs Too

girlslovefrogsIt’s so easy these days to find girl clothes that depict princesses, flowers and other girly things. But what if your girl has other interests that include science, cars, sports and even frogs? It’s not that simple to find clothes that aren’t big and boxy or located in the boys section that show your daughter’s other interests! So when my daughter was sent a girly looking sport tee from Girls Love Frogs Too, she was excited!

Girls Love Frogs Too celebrates some of the diverse passions that girls have while still showing how cute they can look. They create equal opportunity t-shirts so girls can be who they want to be. When kids love something enough, they want it everywhere in their lives and Girls Love Frogs Too can help get them started with their tees.

Girls Loves Frogs Too was born when the creator had a little girl who loved frogs. She also loved t- ball, dinosaurs and really fast cars, but she became discouraged with how difficult it was to find cute shirts for girls with stereotypically “boy” themes.

Girls love all different kinds of things! Take a look at the adorable graphic tees and use code MWS to save 5% off of your purchase.

Smart Girls Who Surf: Sun-Protection Products that are Sun-Worthy

Image and video hosting by TinyPicAs a fair-skinned gal with a history of sun cancer in her family on both sides, I try to always wear sunscreen and also make sure my two kids are protected. I was thrilled to test out some products from Smart Girls Who Surf. While you don’t need to surf to use their products, you’ll love their paraben free and chemical free products.

I was sent their Grab-N-Go Kit ($24.99), which contains FAA approved sizes of their Moisturizing Sunblock with 30 SPF, After Sun Soothing Lotion, Care for Hair Sun Protector (SPF 7), their natural glycerin Soap for Surfers, a single serve packet of their sunblock (great for your purse), an SPF 15 all natural lip balm (you’ll get either Vanilla or Cherry) and a black comb. It comes in a small, cute reusable small plastic tote.

My favorite products were their Moisturizing Sunblock and the Care for Hair Sun Protector. The Moisturizing Sunblock, with an SPF 30 for Face and Body is creamy, not greasy, and won’t sting your eyes. The 2 ounce size fit handily in my diaper bag. With UVA and UVB protection and an SPF of 30, it’s water resistant and hypoallergenic. Sunblock should be applied 20 minutes before you go outside, so it can soak into skin and reapplied every two hours that you are in the sun. For more info on preventing skin cancer, go to skincancer.org.

Care for Hair Sun Protector is a leave-in conditioner and detangler that contains 6 conditioning agents (vitamins A, C, B1, B3, Arica Montana Flower extract and soy protein). Spritz this on your ponytail before you head out into the sun to help keep hair healthy.

Smart Girls Who Surf is a natural skin care company in Laguna Beach, California. It was started several years ago as a mother’s quest for a healthy alternative to sunscreens on the market. The company creates earth-friendly products without using toxic chemicals or synthetic preservatives. The company also gives back – they support several non-profit organizations, including Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC), Surfrider Foundation, Girls, Inc., and SchoolPower, the Laguna Beach Education Foundation, as well as donating product to shelters. Their two product lines, Smart Girls Who Surf and Surf-Vival are tested on surfers and parents, not animals. A kids line called Smart Kids Who Surf is coming soon.
