Playing in the Water is More Fun with Snappy Towels-Giveaway

June 22, 2015 by Kathryn 127 Comments

With summer vacation less than a week away, I’m already planning fun activities my boys and I can enjoy during the next few months. And since Saskatchewan summers are pretty hot, that’s sure to include lots of time playing in the water! Spending the day at the beach, visiting the local splash park and even just running through the sprinkler in the back yard are all favourite pastimes for my boys and for me in the summer!

Since the whole family loves to get wet, having a good set of towels for drying off after fun in the water is always a good thing! This summer, I had the chance to review some stylish and fun new towels that provide added functionality for kids and adults alike. Snappy Towels are the hottest new summer accessory this year for all kinds of reasons!

Swimming Pool Safety: Protect Your Kids This Summer

July 11, 2014 by Kathryn 97 Comments

Whether they’re toddlers, mid-size models or teen versions, kids and swimming pools go together like milk and cookies. Regardless of the ages of your kids, you can ensure that everyone stays safe in and around your pool all season long. Read on for common sense tips that will maintain a safe environment for everyone who joins the fun in and around your pool.

Pool Safety Starts Inside

Let’s start with the basics: skin care. Keep a variety of sun block products stocked, such as sensitive skin formulas, lotions, spray-on, water/sweat-proof, etc. Ideally, sun block should be applied at least 10 minutes prior to getting into the water, to allow it to penetrate the skin and fully absorb. If it’s put on too soon, it will already begin breaking down. Remember, the lower the sun protection factor (SPF), the more frequently you’ll need to re-apply.

Sun blocks with an SPF of less than 15 should be reapplied on dry or damp (not dripping wet) skin every hour, especially during the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV rays are the strongest. For higher SPF formulas, less frequent reapplications (every two hours, for example) are fine, unless you are in the water constantly or sweating profusely, which would pull the sunscreen away from your skin faster. Using a higher SPF formula for the face and top of shoulders is also a great idea. A word about sunscreens: like expired medicines, it’s best to start each new swim season with fresh, maximally effective sunscreen. Check the labels for expiration dates when the weather begins to warm up each year and replace outdated ones. [Read more…]
