Keeping sun safe with SunSense- plus a giveaway!

IMG_2211

With a little redhead sun safety is always on my mind. I have to admit that I was a little more lax with my teens as babies because they have dark skin- Tully however, is so white she glows! So when SunSense sent me a summer pack- full of sun safe products for all of us- I was very grateful because I don’t think I’ve spent as much on suncream in my whole life as I have this summer with an active, beach loving three year old!

The pack came with SunSense Ultra, in a spray bottle (which is my favourite because it’s hard to pin down a running toddler!), a bottle of sensitive sun cream, a bottle of kids’ suncream, lip balm and SunSense Daily Face SPF 50. A friend of mine put me onto this last summer because it’s a lightly tinted moisturiser that’s also suncream. I use it religiously over summer so it was great to get some more.

    I love outdoor picnics, the beach and walks around the river. Having had a bcc removed myself I am scared of the sun. Love these packs

    We are loving the summer sunshine as it means spending time outdoors, splashing in the wading pool, chalk drawing on the pavers, riding bikes and playing at the playground until late because of daylight savings!

    I have a 15 month old, and I’ve always loved summer because it’s a much more social and fun time all round, but now it’s even more exciting as I’m introducing my son to parks ,sports fields, adventure, nature and starting to educate him about water and most importantly skincare! He knows already that he needs sunscreen on whenever we go out! Clever boy!

    I love that I get to take leave during Summer and spend so much more time with stay at home hubby and Miss Eight. This summer I got to take five weeks – including my birthday which is on Australia Day. Our time off together included camping, going to the beach, playing at the pool, mudflat meanders and generally getting out and about. We were always appropriately slipped, slopped, slapped and Miss Eight is a big fan of the spray-on sunscreen. I also love the longer Summer days, so even when I am back at work, there’s still time to take the dog for a walk in the light before or after work!

    Summer to me is the essence of Australia. It’s the deafening roar of the cicadas at sunset and sticky fingers from mango juice running over your hands. It’s the feel of the water going over your head as you dive under the waves at the beach and it’s hanging out with your mates during those endless days in the sun. I’m always sad to see the end of Summer here in Australia – I’m a total sand lover.

    Summer means spending days on the beautiful blue ocean with loved ones either fishing or having a picnic lunch on board the boat and at night just relaxing back listening to the waves and staring at the billions of brightly shining stars .. Thanks for the chance xx

    One of my favorite things about Summer just happens to be the afternoon thunderstorms that sweep through and cool everything down. The power of nature is amazing and Love how they give the plants much needed hydration much like sunsense products do for our skin.

    I love the sun, the water, sitting under the stars sipping a nice cool drink, fishing, road trips, waiting for the cool change, the pouring rain and the smell afterward, swimming and the sound of children running, jumping, loving and playing! I also love eating watermelon. It’s fun to eat that triangular wedge of red, white and green! The sweet juiciness forbids us to take life too seriously and shouts, “SUMMER!!!”

    I love the sounds of lawnmowers and the smell of cut grass. I love the birds in the tree’s. I love the blue sky and the puffy clouds. I love the summer rain. I love the sounds of the surf. The waves rushing to meet the sand. I love hearing the sounds of laughter. The smells of bbqs. Life is good.

    Summer is hot hot HOT in Mildura! I have always had hot summers even now after moving away from home, I still enjoy sitting by the pool of an evening and having a drink and chat with my family. I now love my reverse cycle air conditioner, I didnt realise how good they where till now. No hot sweaty days and nights for us! My son likes to play in his paddling pool and then we all enjoy coming back into a cool house.

    Summer brings overwhelming happiness that really shines
    Throughout the day making us smile
    The season for entertaining, BBQ’s and chats
    Evening meals outside with cricket ball and bat
    Long days in the garden making flowers grow
    The most impressive sunsets with golden glow
    Keeping cool in the water splashing about
    Walks in the cool of night, the best season without doubt.

    A less rigid schedule and longer days,
    A drop of rain settles the dusty haze.
    The garden ablaze with summer roses,
    And fragrances that tickle the noses.
    Watching the sun rise over misty fields,
    Bringing in hay that the farmer toil yields.
    Freshly picked vegetables from the home patch,
    Fruits from our orchard no others can match.
    Healthier eating and outdoor dining,
    Makes summer the time when moods are shining.
    So happy to have a long hot summer,
    Winter is nigh a season much glummer.

    Luscious stone fruit stirring the taste buds.
    Balmy days making us sleepy duds.
    Parties, Christmas, New Year’s – so much tinsel.
    Cold water on hot skin feels almost sinful.
    I love summer for its sensuous treat.
    Sharing them with friends is extra sweet.
