Give or take a few, that’s the distance from my front porch to sugar white sand beaches. Daddypotamus and I are hoping to take the potami to our favorite getaway spot sometime this summer, but we’ll probably have to work it in with just a teeny bit of notice. Though I’ve been making homemade sunscreen for years, I don’t usually make it in advance because the shelf life of the base –  my homemade lotion – is shorter than those preserved with chemicals. Most days we skip sunscreen altogether and use antioxidants instead, but on days we are going to be out much longer than usual we do use sunscreen.

A little vintage Hollywood glam with this easy DIY sculpting pomade featuring beeswax, shea butter, jojoba and essential oils. Or – if it’s not your thing – whip up a jar for the hipster guy in your life. Yep, it’s okay if he’s two.

Because as great as it is to walk by a full bin of dirty cloth diapers unphased, gulping down a glass of vinegar that I’ve mistaken for water is, um, not-so-fun. Stuffy-nosed kids doing the snot slurp every few minutes? Also not so fun.

This calendula salve is rich in compounds that nourish, hydrate, and support skin healing. I use it as a face moisturizer, chapped-lip balm, baby bottom balm, owie salve, burn salve and bug bite balm.

According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women. It is likely  you may know somebody affected by breast cancer, or maybe you are a breast cancer survivor yourself. Fortunately, death rates from breast cancer have been declining since 1990. Early detection is key; be proactive and schedule an annual breast exam.
This soothing breast balm was created to raise awareness and help women going through breast cancer treatment. The recipe is inspired by Sharon’s Boob Balm for Radiation Burns. Using similar soothing ingredients such as olive oil, vitamin E oil and calendula extract and lavender essential oil, this balm is moisturizing and calming for any ouch or rough patch on skin.  Apply this balm directly to affected area multiple times per day. If you are going through radiation, check out  Sharon’s Boob Balm for Radiation Burns for an extra powerful version of the recipe below.
