May: Melanoma Awareness Month

This month is Melanoma Awareness Month! If you haven't been checking your skin for any unusual signs of moles, or sunspots, now is the time to start doing so! Melanoma is a growing and deadly form of skin cancer, so it's important to use sunscreen every day! I have really sensitive skin and can only use physical sunblock protectors (those with titanium dioxide and iron oxide as ingredients). Any other sunscreen with "-ene's" and others at the end are chemicals and cause huge red patches on my skin. :(

Here are some products for your face/lips that contain only titanium dioxide/iron oxide for your best summer sunscreen protection:

Product Review: LAVANILA The Health Deodorant

Source: www.sephora.com

I have to admit I'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't need to use a deodorant all the time. :) You all know I am all about using natural products when possible so when I received this All-natural, free of chemicals, healthy deodorant by LAVANILA Laboratories to try, I was pleasantly surprised that it worked just as well as others I have tried in the past. To truly test its effectiveness, I used it while doing a 30 minute (intense-hehe) workout. Results? Passed with flying colors.

I first heard about LAVANILA Laboratories when I tried a sample of the Vanilla Grapefruit fragrance from Sephora. Vanilla smells clean and crisp and with the fruity grapefruit scent; the citrus flavor gave the overall scent a great kick. Its sweet scent is subtle enough for everyday wear and also strong enough to wear on a night out.

This is available at Sephora for $18, which is a bit pricey compared to a ~$5 one you can get at your local drugstore. But this one will last so long and it's natural ;)
