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.

DIY beauty soak with Champagne

Cheers to a sparkling Champagne soak!. Before you finish off that bottle of champagne check out this body loving soak using champagne. The carbon dioxide in the champagne will help to tighten and close the pores. See the recipe here
