Got this in the mail and had to share it: Smart Girls Who Surf sun protection products are earth-friendly products that are also sea/water friendly. Thought that was a unique combination.
According to their web site, www.girlswhosurf.com, "All of our sunblock, lotions, conditioners, and soaps are paraben free and chemical free."
We tried it on our kids this morning and a bit caky going on, but once rubbed in seemed to do the job - no oily residue either.

That and a second bedding set called "Love" will be available in August at http://www.target.com/, http://www.jcpenney.com/, and a variety of independent and specialty retailers across the U.S.
Both collections capture the essence of the Laura Ashley brand with a mix of both classic and contemporary Laura Ashley patterns, including several original archive prints. Archive prints are some of the first patterns created by the brand’s namesake designer.
Both lines are made up of 6-piece sets that include quilt, bumper, sheet, dust ruffle, valance and diaper stacker. All core fabrics are 100 percent cotton.
Featuring soft shades of lavender, light pink, yellow and peach, the Laura Ashley “Sweet Violet” bedding ensemble integrates whimsical flowers and butterflies into contemporary backgrounds of plaid, patchwork and solids.
Laura Ashley “Love” features various shades of soft and bright pinks, lime green and soft brown on a menagerie of patchworks, plaids and solids. The focal point of the design is the word “LOVE” that seamlessly blends into each element of the 6-piece set.
Both sets have a suggested retail price of $179.99 - $189.99. Matching mobiles have a suggested retail price of $44.99 - $49.99.
