disposable dishes?

I am a sun lover. Are you? Its' warmth and vitamin "D" is so good for us, if you take the proper precautions. By that I mean, wear sunscreen, (scroll down for a comparison of mineral verses chemical) sunglasses, and a sun hat if you want to shade your face. This post features all of these sunny accessories.  They will elevate any look, and have you looking chic in the heat.

Are You Team Mineral Or Chemical?

The kindest thing you can do for yourself is to be good to your skin. I am most certainly team mineral, and avoid chemicals wherever possible. If you get sun poisoning like my family has a tendency to do, it is most likely the chemicals in your sunscreen.
