Sun Patch

Price: $26.00-$49.00

Sun Patch is the only peel-and-stick UPF+ silicone sunblock on the market (UPF measures the amount of radiation that can penetrate fabric to reach your skin). Think of it as an accessory to your sunscreen. The patches feel like a second skin and have a California vibe that’s irresistible. They are also reusable, eco-friendly and nontoxic to oceans! They look like cool neon stickers in bright colors, with neutral options coming soon. Founder Gena was a mom looking for a solution to applying and reapplying suncare products on her kids, eliminating the fuss and mess. She also wanted protection and anti-aging benefits for herself too. The more she talked with other moms, the more she realized she had the perfect background to launch a sunblock brand. Hence, Sun Patch was born.

The Good Stuff Botanicals - Cherry Berry Collection  

Price: $96.00

The Good Stuff Botanicals uses 100% plant-based and wildcrafted ingredients in all of their products. When the first sign of spring appears, it's like a breath of fresh air, isn't it? You do a little happy dance and can't help but smile! Your skin feels this too. The days of being beaten up with cold, dry air are coming to an end, soon to be replaced with higher humidity and warmer, sunnier days. Sunburns are usually associated with trips to the beach in the height of the summer months, not during the cooler days of spring. In actuality, UV rays are more intense in the spring, we just might not realize it because it's still not that warm yet. When the angle of the sun becomes more direct, UV radiation strengthens which is happening between the spring equinox and summer solstice. Thus presenting a very real threat to our skin. So how do we support our skin through that? Answer: Cherries and Berries!

*****my review*****

I received a sample of the Good Stuff Gypsy Cream. This stuff is great! I have extremely dry skin on my legs, back and feet, and this product works wonders on them. It is made with Hemp seed oil and mineral water, and has a very light scent. It is good for lots of different skin irritations, such as sunburn, eczema, rosacea and so much more. The cream is not sticky or heavy and rubs nicely into skin. It makes my irritations and dryness feel soothed and softened.

My Review

As I am going through menopause, and with my thyroid disease, my skin gets so uncomfortably dry and itchy, and even looks scaly, especially on my legs. I really wanted to give this a try. I was so pleased with the results immediately. These oils are light and don’t have heavy perfume scents. They feel so light and comfortable on my skin. My legs look and feel so much better. Now I don’t have to feel embarrassed when I go to the physical therapist for my knee. I was always so self conscious about how dry my legs were. I can honestly say that my legs haven’t looked so smooth in a long time. I’m excited to continue using this. I’ve been using the Body Oil and Tonic.

My Review


I’m obsessed with the Auraiha Mist and Set Spray! I am an avid user of face sprays and love to spritz my face throughout the day. It helps to moisturize my face and feels great after applying my makeup. This one has papaya and hydrating elixir and feels so nice on my face. I also love the glass face brightening serum.

Your go-to sandals for years to come. No need to continue buying cheap sandals that only last one season! Empty Provisions Footwear is an ethical line of footwear that is committed to designing and producing items that are sustainable, comfortable, and stylish. After noticing a gap in the market for shoes that are modern, cute, and durable while being kind to the environment, founder Chrissy Durden sought to create a brand that followed these goals and ideals. Every shoe is designed in Somerville, MA and crafted by hand in small batches in central Maine with the materials also being sourced locally. Since less than 1% of shoes in the U.S. are made here, they take great pride in their partnership with local New England craftspeople to support their businesses. Sourcing and crafting locally also means Empty Provisions is minimizing their carbon footprint by reducing unnecessary CO2 emissions. All while stimulating the local economy.
