Lemongrass Farms all natural insect repellent to rid those pesky bugs

This natural bug spray isn’t greasy, smells good, and has been our go-to for picnics and East Coast visits on the beach at sunset. We have used it in Malibu around the house to get rid of spiders, ants, and other little critters that like to find their way inside. Zero mystery ingredients, the active ingredients in Lemongrass Farms products are listed on the bottle such as peppermint oil, geranium oil, and cedarwood oil.

Try our fav – the Trek Insect Repellent or Trek for kids in Super Chillin’ Lemon Mint scent, or SCRAM fly repellent (perfect for parties or barbeques as you can spray before you set the table) because no one wants to come home covered in pesky bug bites.

Protalus for superior foot comfort

My husband suffers from foot issues, most likely due to years of running; and the older I get, I realize walking 5 miles in flip flops is a horrible idea, as I have been experiencing similar symptoms of plantar fasciitis. Protalus is the best solution to give weary feet fast relief and comfort. Slip the T-100 Elite into your sneakers and allow your body to better distribute pressure by keeping your ankle properly aligned and in a safe range of motion. Protalus is perfect for active travelers, but also for anyone on their feet all day – like nurses, warehouse staff, and service or hospitality workers.

TheraICE for sustained pain relief

The hot and cold therapy reusable packs from TheraICE Rx are perfect for someone who needs relief from pain. The Relief Cap is not just great for headaches but is a good aid to help soothe your head as it’s reusable, stretchable, and form-fitting. My mother has severe knee issues and the Hot and Cold Therapy Sleeve with expert-grade gel was a perfect aid to relieve her pain. She could relax in front of the TV and decide if she wanted to put the sleeve in the freezer for 2 hours or the microwave for 20 seconds based on what would feel best. This same TheraICE sleeve can be used on elbows, hamstrings, quads, calves, and ankles. 

Cor Surf Changing Towel Ponchos for a quick change at the beach 

Made from soft and highly absorbent microfiber that dries fast, this cute poncho-style towel is perfect for kids or adults looking to change on the beach. Maybe you want to rip off your wetsuit or bathing suit and put on something dry to continue your day. The COR Surf Changing Towel Ponchos are your answer. Unlike soggy, wet Cotton Towels, COR stays light and soft when wet and remains ODOR-FREE. Find them in kids, teen, and adults sizes. Also, find their cute designs on Amazon.
