Sunny Sleevez – End the SunScreen battles

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

After a long, cold winter, the sun is finally beginning to shine again.  Time to start thinking about protecting our skin from the sun’s damaging rays.  This is an issue that is very important to me especially where my kids are concerned.  So many sunscreens contain cancer causing toxins, even those marketed as baby and children’s sunscreen.

I do have a sunscreen that we use and love that does not contain  hazardous chemicals but I am excited to share another option.  Sunny Sleevez are remarkable UV sun gloves that are perfect for babies, kids, tweens and beyond.  They come in great colors and designs and all kids need to do is slide them on.

Sunny Sleevez are a patent pending, chemical-free option that is not greasy, never needs to be reapplied and will not get rubbed in kid’s eyes.  A wonderful choice for kids that don’t like the feel of sunscreens.  The lightweight, breathable fabric wicks away moisture to keep kid’s skin cool.  Sunny Sleevez work from the minute they are on, don’t wash off and offer  50+UPF UVA/UVB protection, keeps SPF even when wet.  Easy care machine washable and line dry.  Sunny Sleevez are sold in pairs and have a SRP of $14.99.

My son loves them and he flipped over the cool flame design.  He loves wearing them and I can go all day without having to reapply sunscreen.

The Original Flap Happy Hat Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I am a huge proponent of keeping children and yourself covered in the sun.  My kids have very fair skin and will burn to a crisp in minutes.  I am the same way.  I have always like Flap Happy Hats because they are so great at covering a child’s tender neck area that tends to get forgotten and burn.  The huge brim gives them the ultimate in face protection.  I was recently asked to do a review on The Original Flap Happy Hat.  I chose the Original Flap Hat, Lobster Squad Print in Microfiber.  It is very generously sized and the xx-large fits my 4.5 year old very well and is a bit big on my 2.5 year old.  I did not have to fight them to wear this hat at all.  The fun print and the comfortable fabric had them not wanting to take it off.  My son Ethan played an entire soccer practice wearing this hat.  I will definitely be picking up some other colors of this hat because with its 50+ UPF it does a great job protecting my children’s faces, neck and ears.  Flap Happy has so many great colors and fabrics it is hard to choose just one anyway.

The Original Flap Happy Hat UPF 50+: Designed to provide excellent sun protection from damaging UV rays. The hat has a large brim to shade the face and the flap covers the ears and neck from the harsh rays of the sun with an elastic band to help fit snuggly around the head. This hat looks terrific when paired with Flap Happy Swimwear or Playwear. Perfect for any outdoor or water activity and practical and good-looking for every day of the year. Your child will love to wear this hat for its comfort. Available in an array of colors and fun prints. Makes a Great Gift.

Flap Happy Hats is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win a Flap Happy Hat in their choice of style/color and size.  Thank you Flap Happy for the great review hat and for sponsoring this great give-away.  Open to US and Canadian Residents.

Seasons UV Review and Prize Pack Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was recently sent a Superman Long Sleeve Beach and Bike Solar Guard to review from Seasons UV.  My son Ethan loves this shirt so much he wears it to bed.  Just because Summer is over does not mean that the need for sun protection is over.  I am a real stickler when it comes to protecting my family from overexposure to the sun’s rays.  Seasons UV has so many great styles that you will not need to bribe your child to wear it.  Great for Winter vacations or if you live in a warm climate.  The quality is great and they are so comfortable.  I think that my son chooses to wear the shirt as a pajama top shows that it is super comfortable.  The 50++SPF Beach & Bike Long Solar Guard  dries quickly to become all day sun protection wear . Hidden back pocket and longer in the back for building sand castles and riding your bike.

I am pleased to let you know that Seasons UV is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win a Seasons UV Prize Pack which includes: UV Swimwear, Sunglasses and Banana Boat Sunscreen.  Thank you Seasons UV for the review shirt and for sponsoring this awesome give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US and Canadian residents.
