GADGIT GIRLZ Are Keeping It Covered & Swig Is Keeping It Cold and more.

Lizzie Scarf

GADGIT GIRLZ, Alita & Celeste, are right on target with their Lizzie Skin Wear for “Anti- Lizard skin”.  Chest and neck wrinkles and skin cancer are caused due to excessive sun exposure.  This fabric is UPF 50+ for neck and decolletage sun protection. Wear the Lizzie while enjoying a game of  tennis or golf,  walking your doggie, sitting in the sunny outdoors or just because it looks good on!

This GADGIT GIRLZ scarf has got us  covered. It is one size fits all. The fabric helps keep you cool. It will keep skin dry in hot and active environments. It is treated with MICROBLOK Technology, an anti-microbial that prevents odor and growth of bacteria, fungi and mold for better health and hygiene.  It’s great to know that a small piece of pretty fabric can do so much good. It has a button closure in back and is available in multiple patterns and colors. I posted a photo of my Lizzie on Instagram awhile back and have worn it many times since, most especially when I am gardening. It helps to keep my neck and decolletage from getting bug bites too. Shop Lizzie at GADGIT GIRLZ HERE.

Remember May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. Use a sunscreen also. Note also the Lizzie Scarf will keep you warm in the cooler seasons also.

Now, I think it’s time for a Swig . The summer season is right around the corner and we all want a good reusable insulated bottle or tumbler to keep our summer beverages of choice cold. Swig designs are premium, classy, fun and colorful and sweat free drink ware that keep beverages oh so cold, seriously cold ( hot in the winter too, but that’s for another time).

You’ll find an array of drink ware like bottle, tumbler, wine and flute designs. There is even a 12. oz combo cooler. Swig frequently introduces new colors and sizes and featured collections. You will want to follow Swig on Instagram and Facebook for any new additions.

There is much technology behind the Swig drink ware. You can find out about that at their website HERE. You can learn about Tracee Mathes who launched Swig in 2017. You can shop and pick your color. Oh my gosh, the colors are fabulous. You’ll see designs in Pearl, Maroon, Crimson, Orange, Berry, Hydrangia, Ocean, Mint Pink and so much more. There are stainless steel and glitter colors too. Some are designed with a word or a phrase. These are definitely “Worth a Look”. Raise your champagne filled flute to a friend, exchange a word of cheer and take a Swig.

I’ll top this post off with a mention of 4Ocean. The story of 4Ocean can be found HERE . In less than 2 years, 4Ocean has removed 629,942 pounds of trash from the ocean and coastlines. 4Ocean currently operates out of multiple countries and employs over 150 people worldwide. They have cleaned the ocean and coastlines in 27 countries so far.

When you purchase the 4Ocean Limited Edition Whale Bracelet, 4Ocean will remove one pound of trash from the ocean and coastlines as well as help save whales. Support the 4Ocean cause.

Skip the Cork with Backpack Wine

by Lisa Gal

For the first time, great-tasting, quality wine is offered in a take-anywhere, easy-open, recyclable can. Available in four-can packs of rosé, white, or red wine blends sourced from the finest vineyards, Backpack Wine lets you skip the cork, grab a pack and take quality wine with you, no matter how far off (or on!) the beaten path you want to go. Backpack Wine’s versatile rose, white and red blends are sourced from some of the finest Washington State vineyards and packaged in a can that’s ready for anything—tailgate to ski slope, bar to beach. Canned wine is easy to drink, serve and socialize over. It’s portable, shareable and fun to pair with any foods from casual to elegant. And that packaging…it’s recyclable, it’s cost-effective and it makes wine more approachable, rebellious and fresh. We are thrilled to include them in our Hollywood Swag Bags being gifted at the Four Seasons Hotel this red carpet weekend honoring the Golden Globe nominees, talent and guests.

Wine & Weight

Now that the weather is great, we tend to congregate by a body of water with a chilled bottle of wine but how do we enjoy those glasses of wine and stay on track with our diet?   Here are a few things you can do so that you can enjoy those nice evenings with your friends while sipping some wine.

  1. Know calories – Find out the calories in the wine(s) you drink. I know it’s not sexy but Moo Moo’s aren’t sexy either.  Check the internet for the calories of your favorite wines, I would go with your top 5, make note of it and when you go out ask for that wine so there are no surprises.
  2. Drink in moderation – Two (2) or more glasses of wine in one night is considered a heavy drinker for a woman.  For men, it’s three (3) or more glasses.  Women who drink about four drinks or more at one event (at least once a month) have larger waists than do moderate drinkers.  So, try not to hit your max drinking limit in one night.  Have that glass of wine, sip on it, fellowship and enjoy your friends.
  3. Choose Red –  Drink dark, dry red wine if you can.  Studies have shown that there is a compound in red wine that can block the growth of fat cells.  Red wine can increase your good cholesterol levels, improve digestion and metabolism. Go big red!

Proceed to the nearest body of water and grab that bottle of red wine, pour yourself a drink, sit back with your friends, watch the sunset and enjoy those beautiful evenings.

Relax with seaweed

From “20,000 leagues under the sea” comes the ultimate skincare ingredient.. seaweed. That dreaded things that tends to float around at the beach that gets in the way, is one of the best regimens you can do to your skin. It improves elasticity, texture and can help diminish acne. I also have found that if you have dry skin it adds moisture if your overly oily it takes away just some of the excess.

Many of us now this already but I just wanted to share my recent “seaweed” experience using hot water and a seaweed sheet. These seaweed sheets can be found in your seafood section of your local supermarket. Tear off a section about the size of 2 fingers. Set it in the hot water just long enough to make it soft. Once it has soaked start taking the seaweed and spread it on your face. Some of the seaweed will stay behind, so you may look a little funny. Leave on for 5 minutes and rinse.

After it is rinsed off you can really feel the tightness coming in your skin and feeling refreshed. You may even feel that your skin has been exfoliated and less “gritty”. You can really feel the seaweed working even after it has been rinsed off. I enjoy doing an at home seaweed mask at least twice a week. So next time you need some “me time” pour yourself a glass of wine, and dive “20,000 leagues under the sea” with your at home, inexpensive seaweed facial. Have fun!

One little tip. Before putting the mask on allow some hot water to open your pores so that the seaweed can really dig down deep. Then rinse with cool water to close the pores holding everything in.
