Other helpful hints:

Green Tea Sunblock, By Aubrey Organics
Hot sun. Hot kids. Summer fun. When is too much sun "too much sun"? Don't fret. Here is a wonderful sunblock with all natural ingredients, an SPF of 25, UVB and UVA protection, and a great, great scent. Go to Aubrey Organics to view ingredients such as jojoba oil, willowherb, green tea, jasmine and aloe vera. If you would like to find a list of ingredients to avoid in sunscreens and sunblocks, click here.

When out in the sun, try to wear:

Thick, baggy, quality cotton clothing. Thin or weave clothing allows entry of harmful rays to the skin.

Wear health-friendly sunscreen or sunblock after 9 a.m. However, do not be afraid of the sun. Sun is a great source for creating Vitamin D and raising your elevation for joy and well-being!
Be sure to get out between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. to soak up mind and body rejuvenating sun!

Drink plenty of water, water, water! Other drinks are no substitute for H2O.

Avoid staying in the sun for long periods of time, especially if you have not worked your way up to it.

Balance your intake of omega-6 fats like corn oil, safflower, sunflower, sesame oils, with omega-3 fats so that you maintain a 1:1 ratio. This will help curtail harmful oxidation of fats within your body and help inhibit development and progression of cancer. (See Dr. Mercola's article on fats, cancer and you.)

Wear a wide brim hat to protect face, neck and shoulders from sun between hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Speaking of hats, here are a few hats we absolutely love:

For babies, the Flap Happy Hat.
Great colors, wonderful fit. Our 6 year old still loves these! To buy, to to The Baby Bazaar.

All Around Straw Wide-Brimmed Hats.

Thank you, Sun, for your warmth.

Thank you, Sun, for the strength in my bones.

Thank you, Sun, for your help in the growth of all living things.

Thank you, Sun, for bringing color into my world,

setting, so Moon can take over and we can rest.
