The 4 Best Sunscreens Tested as Safe and Effective

I was recently contacted by Reviews.com about their latest tests to find the best sunscreens.  I am not being compensated for this post, but if you purchase anything through links on this page I may receive a small percentage (enough to boost my spirits!)  The bottom line is that I am sharing with you which sunscreens are the best for various purposes, such as:

  • Best Coverage
  • Best for Sensitive Skin
  • Best for Face, and
  • Best for Physical Activity.

Age doesn’t matter.  We all want to get the best for our money.  So it’s nice to have access to the results of products tested for the best, and to check reviews before buying.

We also need the sun for vitamin D.  But it’s important to make sure we’re not overdoing it, so protection against too much sun is important for balance.

I especially love this review because the winning products are safe for sensitive skin, and contain natural and organic ingredients.

After researching 135 sunscreens, Reviews.com tested 20 products for coverage and skin feel and found four favorites.

So without further ado, here are the winners:

How to Conquer Your Closet and Look Your Best

Since Marie Kondo’s book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up:  the Japanese art of decluttering and organizing sold over eight million copies in over 40 countries and stayed on the New York Times best-selling list for so long, it’s obvious that people around the world are plagued by clutter.  I assume age doesn’t matter because clearing clutter is an ongoing situation.

In my recent blog post “How to Make More Outfits Out of What You Have,” I provided a list of the basic wardrobe items you need to have or buy for spring and summer.  In this post, I am giving you tips and links to help you get rid of excess clothes that make it difficult to get dressed and look your best.

How to Make More Outfits Out of What You Have

I’ve created a checklist for you of what you need to have on hand for Spring and Summer in order to create outfits for every occasion.  Age doesn’t matter because all of these items are classic and basic pieces.  They will make it easy for you to make more outfits out of what you have. To make them fun as well as useful, check out what is trending. Wearing something new and modern makes you look young.

Maybe you already have all or most of these essentials.  If not, April is the time of year when spring clothing is on sale.  So it’s a good time to fill in gaps in your warm-weather wardrobe, or upgrade things that are wearing out (or wearing out their welcome).

How to Clean Out Your Closet for Spring in 6 Easy Steps

A few years ago, I came across an article by Alison Syrett at Lucky Shops (now defunct), “How To Clean Out Your Closet For Spring:  Six Easy Steps To Start Now.”  I tried her system because it broke down the seasonal wardrobe changeover into one task a week for six weeks.  Age doesn’t matter; I’ll bet we can always use an easier way to do things.

You never know (in Michigan, anyway) when the warm weather will stay.  Many years, I would put away my Winter things and pull out my Spring/Summer clothes when the weather got nice and then a cold snap would send me looking for things I had just put away.  What a drag!  A gradual changeover works so much better and gives you the time to get things taken care of at the dry cleaners, the shoe repair and the place where you donate your old things.

So here it is:  I am now sharing with you this super easy and effective system! Continue Reading

How to Heal with the Amazing Energy of Crystals

Chakra minerals and crystals healing set

My birthday gift from my son this year was a chakra mineral starter set of healing crystals, with a velvet pouch containing the chakra healing stones.  The gift card said, “Hi, Mom! May they bring you abundance and comfort!  From Your Son.”

I was surprised to get this chakra healing set of crystals when I had just posted an article on “How to Use the Amazing Powers of Color.”  This was synchronicity at its best!  In my color post, I included a list of how to heal and correct the chakras by their corresponding colors.

I decided to share my gift with you.  I had already intended to write about crystals, and I will explore the topic more in the future if you like.  I hope that the basic information I am sharing with you here is helpful!

When we “cleanse” our chakras with crystals, we dispel negative energy that is building up inside of us and disturbing our delicate energy balance.  This promotes both emotional and physical self-healing.

Age doesn’t matter.  Throughout history, the wisest healers were those of a venerable age.
