It may be colder than we are used to in sunny southern California but we still have many days that we can head to the beach! Looking for a stylish way to keep yourself and your children safer out in the sun? Sure! You should use sunscreen but how about sun protective clothing? Cabana Life has the whole family covered with their sun protective clothing! I just love the Road Map Tunic for women and also the Male and Female Rashguards. I love the different styles and that they have clothing for the whole family!

Look for them at CabanaLife.com

Each rash guard comes with a built in 50+ UPF protection so it will protect your ocean lovers! It is also quick drying which is great for the Winter time! I love the big variety that this company offers!

And, remember…in sunny Southern California…we never have rainy days for long!

Are you keeping to your New Year’s resolution of eating healthier? I have to admit that it isn’t always an easy thing to do especially when you have lunch break at work! It seems easy to just go and buy fast food, which isn’t the healthiest option!

It may be an easy option, but it really can be easy to bring your lunch from home! The experts at Wellslock believe the key to sustainable healthier eating is to prepare nutritious meals in advance, when you have the time, so that a healthy meal is always available. A manufacturer of locking food storage containers and lids, Wellslock innovative design includes an airtight and liquid-tight seal that prevents moisture retention and slows down food spoilage. So you can cook a week’s worth of healthy meals on your day off and never have to resort to fast food again!

I had the opportunity to try out their products and I love how airtight these containers are! I love that even a few days later, my salad still looks fresh and delicious! I have tried many other brands of containers and these truly are my favorite so far! They are just perfect for sandwiches, soups and casseroles! I am so impressed with how fresh my food stays for days and even a week! They even seem to be leak proof!

They are also affordable! The quality is so impressive that I figured they would be expensive but they really aren’t!

Valentine’s Day is upon us, and e-tailer Zulily is providing the ultimate way to bond with the ones you love – a Valentine’s Day Double-Header Sweater!  Whether you’re celebrating with your besties, your parents, your partner or even your pet, we’ve got the ultimate gift and some interesting stats to go along with it…

A recent survey by online retailer Zulily has the low down on all things Valentine’s Day:

• On February 14^th, over 40% of Americans – more than 130M people – will be celebrating Valentine’s Day.[i] That’s a whole lotta lovin’! When asked ‘what is the most offensive Valentine’s Day gift you’ve ever received,’ a quarter of Americans (24%) unveiled ‘no gift at all,’ followed by ‘a breakup’ (6%)!
• BFFS over boyfriends. If women were to celebrate ‘Galentine’s Day’ (aka hanging with your gal pals on Valentine’s Day), over a quarter of women would prefer to get pampered (26%) – who needs romance with mud wraps, massages and manis in your future?
• If choosing to wear a Valentine’s Day-themed two-person sweater, both men and women would prefer to ‘wear it out with their pet (23%/19%), over their significant others or BFFs. Second to ‘wear[ing] it out with their pet[s],’ both men and women would prioritize ‘wear[ing] [a two-person sweater] for a pic, just for social media’ (15%/17%).

No matter what your plans are or who your spending Valentine’s Day with, Zulily has the perfect gift! Available in four unisex styles (see images below), these Valentine’s Day Double-Header Sweaters, available on Zulily starting 1/21, are not only Instagram-worthy but will bring you closer to the people you love. So, grab your significant other, BFF, or even your fur baby because life’s just better when you’re in a sweater together!
