The Great Outdoors!
It’s the perfect time of year to get out, get active and start enjoying the season. Whether you are a camper, biker, gardener, beach-lover or just love the great outdoors there are a few essentials you will want to have handy.
Don’t skimp on the sunscreen. Always use a sunscreen that protects against aging UVA rays and that has an SPF 15 or more to protect you from burning. Be sure to buy a new bottle at the beginning of each season. Remember to apply 15-30 minutes before heading outdoors and reapply after swimming or perspiring.
A few you may want to try:
- Badger SPF 30 Sunscreen for Face & Body
- La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Cream SPF 60
- Banana Boat Dri-Blok Sport SPF 30 Lotion
While enjoying the sun, fresh breeze, flowering gardens or even hitting the bike trails it’s easy to lose track of time and forget to stay hydrated. Be sure to fill up a stainless steel water bottle and keep it within arms length. There are all different types of water bottles on the market to suit your every need. Different sizes, colours, caps and accessories to keep your bottle cool in the heat. Here are a couple bottles and accessories that are worth checking out:
- New Wave Enviro Insulated 1L Bottle Tote
- New Wave Enviro Stainless Steer Water Bottle – 1L
- New Wave Enviro Stainless Steel Water Bottle (0.6 Litre)
