Medicine Mama's Sweet Bee Magic Wand: a review for you!

10 Quick Ways to Burn Calories While You Sit

Who really has the time to blast calories after a long day at work? Not us! Here's how to lose weight while sitting down

This is a TotalBeauty.com workouts for women article No matter what your day-to-day is like, you probably spend a little -- OK, maybe a lot -- of time on your behind. Add that to a busy schedule with no space for gym visits and you've got a recipe for health disaster. Break the cycle with these 10 surprising tricks that'll help you burn calories while sitting (yes, sitting). Burn calories

Hello Gorgeous! I recently tried Medicine Mama's Sweet Bee Magic Wand made with Propolis and Honey. It's an 'All in One lip and Face Balm'. 
Every ingredient in the very short list is organic. And my favorite part is that there is a wee part on the label that says 'batch'-and then there is a date. I love an expiration date on a product!
I have used my Bee Magic Wand primarily on my lips and fingernail cuticles. It's the lightest and slippery feel and absorbs into the skin. There is a very faint scent and no taste that I can taste. The label also mentions that it makes a great travel companion and I agree. This is a lip balm/lotion all in one. I think the only way to improve on this product would be to add a sunscreen. I'm in Arizona and it's hot already-so I'm keeping my stick with me and in the a/c so it doesn't melt and run out!
Get your own hand crafted Medicine Mammas Sweet Bee Magic Wand on the website here or at Sprouts in my Mesa neighborhood.

It's official! Golfland-Sunsplash water slides are open for the summer season! Woo hoo!
Now you are going to need some serious sunblock to protect yourself while you party in the waterslides!
So far, the Aveeno hydrosport sunblock spf 85 is holding up for back yard pool parties but I'm interested in seeing what it does with all the rubbing of the waterslides?
As I try to have some style/fashion while whisking down the Master Blaster at Sunsplash I plan to wear what I've been enjoying so far for quick, moisturizing and spf filled lipbalm-the Neutrogena Revitalizing lip balm in Fresh Plum spf 20. It's easy to forget how fast a lip can get a sunburn!
You can learn more about it at http://www.neutrogena.com/ Enjoy your start to summer fun!

Hello and happy Sunday my friends! I'm not actually here writing, I'm most likely leaving church and heading over to the waterpark or the ballpark depending on what the Mancub wants to do today.

Sunscreen commentary

What's The Best Sun Protection For You?

Find out which products will keep you burn-free and looking fabulous this summer

This is a TotalBeauty.com best and worst skin care products article While it's no fun to apply sunscreen (unless of course someone else does it for you), using these top-rated products will hopefully make it a tad more enjoyable. See products

Sun protection! Before you click through to see which brands are best, here is my two cents: When you buy Banana Boat Sport waterproof spf 50 from Costco on coupon, making the two large bottles and extra grease stick a total of $8-it's a good bang for the buck!
I use it daily to run in and it is sweat proof. Now I do have to reapply while at Sunsplash and I do get a wee bit pink on the back. It could be the length of time we are there, the standing with a double raft over my head going up a slippery hill to get to the next waterslide, or just my fair skin; but I feel it's worth the money and I love having a Costco coupon to reduce the price.

It's working for me and the Mancub, maybe it will work for your family too! Enjoy!
