Here is the South, it totally skipped Spring and wend straight into SUMMER.  Although it looks like Springs, with all the foliage coming back bright green, it’s HOT, but that is what it’s like about 10 months out of the year {sigh}.  This does mean that we are ahead of other part of the country, in enjoying the outdoors…whether it be gardening or entertaining.  We’ve received some awesome products from several companies, that make our outdoor activities more pleasant and safer!

First up – Let’s talk SAFETY!  Outdoor entertaining often means bar-b-ques.  Any time there is fire, there is the risk of, well…FIRE.  The Mini Fire Fighter is perfect to have at the ready, at home OR on the go! It’s size makes it easy to store just about anywhere, and it’s so lightweight anyone can use it. It’s a 4 in 1 Fire Stopper, good to use on Wood, Gasoline, Electrical or Oils and Fats.

  • Compact
  • Easy to Use
  • Easy to Store
  • 4 Year Shelf Life

Outdoors means BUGS.  Here is Louisiana, it’s said that our State Bird isn’t actually the Pelican, but the MOSQUITO. Many (probably most) insect repellents are filled with harmful chemicals, but with ZIKA Virus and other mosquito and bug born diseases, it’s important to eliminate exposure.  Thanks to BugBand With Geraniol, you can safely repel:

According to laboratory and field studies by the University of Florida in Gainesville, Geraniol, the naturally-derived active ingredient in BugBand Insect Repellent, has been proven effective in repelling a wide variety of insects, including mosquitoes, house flies, stable flies, horn flies, fire ants, fleas, gnats, dog ticks, lone star ticks, and no-see-ums. This means that BugBand GERANIOL Insect Repellent makes a great naturally-derived alternative to DEET insect repellents.

  • The mosquitos in Ohio are CRAZY! I’m betting the BugBand With Geranio would be really helpful for me and my family. The ZIKA virus really scares me.

  • I would love to try the Block Island Natural Face Moisturizer SPF 30. My face sometimes gets red just from driving and I think this moisturizing would help protect me from the sun while keeping my face from drying out.

  • It still feels like winter this weekend in Oklahoma. So cold we had a freeze warning!

    I’m going to look for that mini fire fighter. We have a regular fire extinguisher that I’ve used and it’s kind of awkward and wieldy.

  • I’m actually up north, and the weather has been totally freaky this year.

    First – fire safety is a MUST! Have a fire extinguisher handy outdoors, in your vehicle, and in your home. Make sure everyone knows how to use it.

    Secondly – SUNSCREEN!! I had skin cancer right in the center of my nose a few years ago, and they had to take off some cartilage to get it all. Because of that, there’s a 1/2 inch “ditch” there, that looks awful. Ladies, PLEASE wear sunscreen, not only will it save your looks, it will save your life!!!!!!!!
