Minimize Sun Exposure With UV Skinz Swimwear
by 46 Comments
Minimize Sun Exposure With UV Skinz Swimwear Sample received for review. All opinions are my own. Once the last bell of the school year rings, my kids spend a majority of their time outside.

To avoid pointless viewing, I love to put titles like the ones below into their watch list to help avoid summer brain drain. Hopefully some of these might spark a little … [Read more...]

Shirtless, deep tan and on the water was his … [Read more...]
