Flojos’ Under-$20 Animal Print Sandals

We may not need to rely on animal instincts to know that summer is here, but sometimes it takes predatory tactics to find that perfect hot-day activity. Flojos’ affordable animal-inspired print sandals offer the comfort, durability, and style to help summer feet hunt for the ideal beach, track down summer shopping gold mines, and capture a moment of R&R in the sun.

And for less than $20, Flojos is the natural choice for summer survival footwear.

Prowl the coastline for prime sunbathing spots in the spotted rubber COUGAR sandals with shimmering metallic straps, available in Silver, White or Blue (pictured at right), MSRP: $17.

Roam freely from sprawling, golden beaches to dock-side parties and barbecues in the wildly comfortable and soft, striped ZEBRA flip-flops featuring a padded foot bed and arch-support, MSRP: $19.

Thousand Oaks, Calif.-based Flojos is one of the top sandal manufacturers and has offered high-quality footwear for the casual, active lifestyle since 1979. A name synonymous with fashion, comfort and style, find Flojos brand footwear (women’s, children’s, and men’s styles) nationwide in chain stores, surf shops, specialty stores and fashion boutiques, or shop online at www.flojos.com.

What's in my Beach Bag? - Jason Naturals SPF

Jason Family Naturals Sunblock SPF 45 kept me burn free this past weekend! I had no idea this company has been around since 1959. They have been a pioneer in the 'naturals' beauty department.

This non-greasy, water-resistant sunscreen smells so good. It's not overpowering, just a very fresh 'summery-beachy' smell. The Family Natural Sunblock protects skin from burn, and reduces harmful free radical damage caused by the sun's ultra-violet rays. It's enriched with Vitamin E, Shea Butter and Green tea extract. This is probably why it felt a little moisturizing as well.

My husband and I both used this and were out all day on Memorial Day. We reapplied probably 2-3x throughout the day and came away with no red. If you are in to organic and natural products, this is a good product to use when you're out in the sun. It retails for $11.95

You can find Jason Natural Products at Whole Foods and other health and natural food stores in the US and Canada, or by visiting www.jason-natural.com.

Happy Memorial Day!

To those who have served our country (to both my grandfathers!) and are currently serving our country, we thank you. Thank you so much for serving our country and for fighting for our freedom.

Hot Pop Pink from CND Shellac. This is part of their second collection. It reminds me a lot of Tutti Frutti from the first collection. Beautiful color. Bright fuchsia pink, perfect for summer!

If you've read my blog for awhile, you know I'm a huge Shellac fan. I went to my kettlebell class and bleached our outdoor vinyl furniture today and my nails don't show a trace of any damage. This stuff is amazing!
