Chemical Free Sunblock Hack and Friday Favorites Linky Party 376

I'm very good about applying sunscreen before I spend time in the hot summer sun. (My current mineral sunscreen favorites are Goddess Garden Sport, Bock Island, and Jason Sun Sport. (aff))  Unfortunately, I am rubbish about replying sunscreen throughout the day, especially when I'm having fun at an outdoor festival or street fair - which happen almost weekly in our fantastic city.  Which means it doesn't take long for my prolific perspiration powers to blow through my screen screen and allow me to fry like bacon in the sun.



That is, until I took a tip from my alter Elizabethan ego. I bought a cloth Chinese parasol from Amazon (aff) (the paper umbrellas rip too often and easily with use) and carry it or my favorite Battenberg Lace parasol (aff) (so pretty!) to outdoor events to keep me sun safe and a helps keep me cooler.in the summer heat. Especially when I add a hand fan.

I'm Mary Poppins y'all!

It really isn't as unwisely to carry as you might think.Most of the time I have a Dog Mommy Tote Bag with me, I can pop the umbrella into when I need two hands to eat or wrangle our extricate - pup Lacey.

How do you beat the summer heat?

Let's party!
