Hot In The Hive: UVSunSense Sun Monitor Wristbands

imageTime flies when you’re having fun in the sun. One minute you’re happy as a clam, playing volleyball or reading a book on the beach, the next you’re stomping down the aisles at Walgreens in search of aloe for that gnarly sunburn you’ve earned. You already know that too much sun exposure is harmful, and you’ve had enough peeling shoulders in your time to recognize the importance of sunscreen, but even the most seasoned of sun-baskers have a hard time keeping of track of their last sunscreen application or even knowing exactly when it’s time to call it a day and take cover. Enter UVSunSense sun monitoring wristbands. Worn on your wrist in addition to a nice slathering of SPF 15 or higher, the band’s surface changes color to alert you when it’s time to either slop on some more sunscreen or find the nearest shady spot ASAP. Sure, they might be a pretty dorky-looking excuse for a bangle, but they look a heck of a lot cooler than a blistering lobster complexion!

Price: $6.89 for a pack of 7

Hot In The Hive: Jane Iredale chocohoLICKS Lip Glosses

imageMy first foray into lip products was way back when I young enough to reach for the Bonne Bell Lip Smackers. My favorite flavor to this day is Strawberry Kiwi! But somewhere between the start of teenage angst and graduating from college, I’ve since graduated to more “mature” lip products. I still miss the flavored lip glosses of my youth though. As luck would have it, Jane Iredale has a lip product that combines 100% all natural ingredients with flavors my sweet tooth loves. The box comes with 4 lip glosses that will send any chocolate lover straight to heaven. Flavors include: Truffle, Chocolate Orange, Strawberry Cream, and Caramel. They even come packaged like a box of chocolates. Gift them to your best friends or save them for yourself. Just don’t take a spoon to them!

Price: $44
