Real Shades #Summertime2016 #Giveaway

Protecting your eyes is important and Real Shades understands that. They offer high quality and style sunglasses all at an affordable price. The line includes sunglasses for kids, young adults, and adults. Their goal is to protect eyes from UV radiation all while staying stylish. They invest in product development and design to make sure that they are the leaders in protecting eyes from sun damage. Real Shades currently work closely with Prevent Blindness America to educate the public on the importance of protecting children’s eyes. As parents, we are very careful to cover our children head to toe with sunscreen, but forget how important it is to protect their eyes.

We got some cool shades for Callan! Bolt - The Bolt is an alternative to banded sunglasses. These sunglasses have classic temples and fashion-forward, two-tone coloring. The frames are super flexible so they can survive all the twists and turns of kid life without breaking. P2 technology lenses provide both polarized and polycarbonate lenses. Storm - Rubber-tipped temple pieces and wrap-around metallic frames make these the kids shades that Mom and Dad will try on when no one is looking (and Jason did steal them from Callan, ha!). Storm is also available with P2 lens technology, providing both polarized and polycarbonate lenses.

BullFrog Sunscreen & Repellent #Summertime2016

Zika Virus worries escalated late this spring when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention admitted the mosquito-borne disease was "scarier than we initially thought." The CDC says knowledge is lacking about the neurological effects of the virus, as well as which drugs or vaccines may be effective. Then there is the northward expansion of the mosquitoes which transmit the virus. Suddenly, consumers who had been shopping for sunscreens are stopping to consider the added value of brands that combine sun protection with effective mosquito protection. BullFrog Mosquito Coast is just such a combination product.

Available in continuous or pump sprays, BullFrog Mosquito Coast was the world's first mass-marketed fusion of sunscreen with insect repellent. Proudly made in the USA, it is America's #1 selling combination sunscreen and insect repellent.

Mosquito Coast Sunscreen SPF 30 with Insect Repellent Continuous Spray. DEET-free combo insect repellent and sunscreen safely repels insects up to 8 hours. Uses Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommended IR3535. No need to wash off when returning from the outdoors. Contains aloe leaf extract and Vitamin E. Pleasant fragrance. PABA- and Paraben-free. Water-resistant (80 minutes).

Zach's Wing Sauce #Summertime2016

Making your own wings takes commitment, especially if you're grilling them. Brushing on sauces, marinades, and homemade recipes takes precious moments in preparation, during cooking and cleanup. It also usually results in more product in the grill than on the meat, drags off additional seasonings and (if you dip while you grill), wastes unused product. Not to mention, fingers close to the flame equals more than a couple of singed digits. There is a cure for all of the above.

If you love grilled wings, but don't love the time involved, try spraying them instead! Relinquish all of those added minutes that can turn into hours, those pans, dishes, and bowls that just have to be washed afterward, and the leftover sauces you throw away. With the pull of a trigger (sprayer that is), you can save time, your extremities and your sanity. Forget the fryer and leave the oven out. Killer wings are made on the grill. Grilling keeps the meat crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. You have ultimate control over the end result. Zach's wing sauces are made for cooking outdoors. The trigger sprayer helps focus the sauce onto your wings, sear in flavor while cooking, and leaves your other hand free for the beverage of your choosing.
