<p><em>It&#8217;s scary to think that so many of the sunblocks on the market today cause much of the damage they&#8217;re meant to protect us from. With scary ingredients like parabens, PABA, oxybenzone, avobezone, and octisalate, the sun is the least of your worries. That&#8217;s why choosing organic and natural sunscreens is so important.</em></p>
<p>Thanks to the Environmental Working Group&#8217;s Guide to Safer Sunscreens, finding good products has never been easier&#8211;in fact, all of these products are low hazard in terms of the ingredients used. At the same time, I chose natural sunscreens that are easy to apply, leave your skin feeling soft, and use yummy ingredients like avocado oil and shea butter. Let’s take a closer look.</p>

<p><strong>Yala&#8217;s Bamboo Dreams Beach Towel</strong></p>
<p>We think something you just can&#8217;t be without this summer is a great beach towel and when we saw these from Yala, we knew we&#8217;d found the perfect one. Enjoy your time beachside, poolside or at the spa with your own natural towel made from bamboo and organic cotton. We love the Koi fish swimming among water lilies in cheerful colors. If you choose to purchase The Box, one of these three towel colors will be yours.</p>

<p><strong>VivaTerra Flowered Thermos</strong></p>
<p>This lightweight, reusable enameled picnicware from VivaTerra is 34 ounces of double-walled thermos heaven. An antique look bows to a long gone era’s ornate enamelware design but still borrows from today’s technology to keep liquids hot or cold for many hours. Which, when you&#8217;re enjoying the beach all day and need liquids, this is vital (so is looking stylish drinking from this while there).</p>

<p><strong>Skincando Luxe Brew Lip Balms</strong></p>
<p>Each Skincando lip balm is filled from small hand spun batches and is guaranteed to give your lips a magical glow. We loved how they were described to us from the company as smelling and tasting like Pizzelle cookies. The key essential oil in the balm is Myrrh, which has been used by royalty for centuries to heal and beautify the skin. I imagine this might be the best pre, during and post sun lip balm we may ever try.</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Global Girlfriends: How One Mom Made It Her Business To Help Women In Poverty Worldwide</span></strong></p>
<p>From the Global Girlfriend site: &#8220;In 2003 Global Girlfriend founder Stacey Edgar had a $2,000 tax return and a deep desire to help provide economic security for women in need. She knew that of the 1.3 billion people living on less than $1 per day, seventy percent are women. What she didn&#8217;t have was a business plan. Or a passport. But that didn&#8217;t stop her from creating a socially conscious business that has helped poor women in five continents feed their families and send their children to school. &#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s true, Global Girlfriend has since grown into a multi-million dollar enterprise that specializes in handmade, fairly traded, eco-conscious apparel, accessories, and items made by women all over the world. Stacey&#8217;s Global Girlfriends book is her inspiring story of following ones convictions. Sounds like a perfect summer read while snuggling in a hammock, oh, and then going to take over the world.</p>

<p><strong>Aurea Golden Grass Earrings and Mini Box</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.aureagoldengrass.com/aureaSlideShow.html">Aurea </a>is a fair trade business that brings jewelry and accessories made of golden grass handwoven by skilled artisans in Brazil to women all over the world.

Sustainable fashion writers Abigail Doan, Kestrel Jenkins and others (cough, us, Sara Ost and Amy DuFault), are often seen wearing Aurea jewelry.

<p><strong>Yala&#8217;s Bamboo Dreams Beach Towel</strong></p>
<p>We think something you just can&#8217;t be without this summer is a great beach towel and when we saw these from Yala, we knew we&#8217;d found the perfect one. Enjoy your time beachside, poolside or at the spa with your own natural towel made from bamboo and organic cotton.   We love the Koi fish swimming among water lilies in cheerful colors. If you choose to purchase The Box, one of these three towel colors will be yours.</p>

<p><strong>VivaTerra Flowered Thermos</strong></p>
<p>This lightweight, reusable enameled picnicware from VivaTerra is 34 ounces of double-walled thermos heaven. An antique look bows to a long gone era’s ornate enamelware design but still borrows from today’s technology to keep liquids hot or cold for many hours. Which, when you&#8217;re enjoying the beach all day and need liquids, this is vital (so is looking stylish drinking from this while there).</p>

<p><strong>Skincando Luxe Brew Lip Balms</strong></p>
<p>Each Skincando lip balm is filled from small hand spun     batches and is guaranteed to give your lips a magical glow. We loved how they were described to us from the company as smelling and tasting like Pizzelle cookies. The key essential oil in the balm is Myrrh, which has been used by royalty for centuries     to heal and beautify the skin. I imagine this might be the best pre, during and post sun lip balm we may ever try.</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Global Girlfriends: How One Mom Made It Her Business To Help Women In Poverty Worldwide</span></strong></p>
<p>From the Global Girlfriend site: &#8220;In 2003 Global Girlfriend founder Stacey Edgar had a $2,000 tax return  and a deep desire to help provide economic security for women in need.  She knew that of the 1.3 billion people living on less than $1 per day,  seventy percent are women. What she didn&#8217;t have was a business plan. Or a  passport. But that didn&#8217;t stop her from creating a socially conscious  business that has helped poor women in five continents feed their  families and send their children to school. &#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s true, Global Girlfriend has since grown into a multi-million dollar enterprise  that specializes in handmade, fairly traded, eco-conscious apparel,  accessories, and items made by women all over the world. Stacey&#8217;s Global  Girlfriends book is her inspiring story of following ones convictions. Sounds like a perfect summer read while snuggling in a hammock, oh, and then going to take over the world.</p>

<p><strong>Aurea Golden Grass Earrings and Mini Box</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.aureagoldengrass.com/aureaSlideShow.html">Aurea </a>is a fair trade business that brings jewelry and accessories made  of golden grass handwoven by skilled artisans in Brazil to women all over the world. The company sources directly from artisans and producer-owned  associations that decide on their prices and are in control of their  production. The result is a collection of jewelry that has its own shimmer and shine from nature itself. Sustainable fashion writers Abigail Doan, Kestrel Jenkins and others (cough, us, Sara Ost and Amy DuFault), are often seen wearing Aurea jewelry. Light and pretty, they&#8217;re the perfect piece paired with a pretty summer dress.</p>
<p>The box below is a good place to store them so no sustainable fashion writers can sniff them out and try to steal.</p>
<p>(Retail value of both is $90)</p>
