layered white.

wearing a white on a hot day will keep me cool, right?

wrong.

the idea that white keeps you cool is somewhat of a myth, and i tell you why on mobile morsels. i mean, ever wonder why many arctic animals are white? certainly makes me re-think my summer whites. in any case, it just looks cooler, wouldn't you agree? plus it makes the perfect backdrop for a colorful necklace like this one.

i'm ecstatic about these longer days...the idea of having an extra hour of daylight just excites me. i'm hoping that the weather holds up as we plan to head out to waimea valley tomorrow to stroll through their botanical gardens and take the short hike to the waterfall. i haven't been there in ages, so i'm looking forward to it. and while i'm on the north shore, i'm hoping to make a stop at ted's bakery for bread pudding and maybe the general store for shave ice. my mouth is watering already.

since we use a lot of sunscreen, i browsed EWG's list of best sunscreens for ones that had high ratings for uva protection, uva/uvb balance, and sunscreen stability and low health concerns (least amount of harmful chemicals). out of the 184 that made their list, here's a few i want to try:

eco logical skin care body all natural sunscreen, spf 30

thinksport livestrong sunscreen, spf 50

la roche-posay anthelios 15 sunscreen cream

thinkbaby sunscreen, spf 50

green babies zinc oxide sunscreen

what's on your agenda this weekend?
